Cannot launch game or connect to www.elderscrollsonline.com from Australia

A few hours ago my game disconnected. I have multiple machines and none work. I ran the launcher diagnostics and saw some errors relating to accessing the website.

I tried launching the www.elderscrollsonline.com website. I had a fail with it loading "Hmmm... can't reach this page". But I can access other websites fine

I ran a tracert to www.google.com, all looks good.

I ran a tracert to www.elderscrollsonline.com and it gets to 9 hops and then request timed out.

I have tried the standard big DNS providers to see if that is a problem but no difference.

Any ideas?

    Not just Australia. I'm having the same connectivity problems in San Francisco, California, US.

    Alway seems to hang at akamai. People have been complaining about it since 2017 that I know of.

    I was having the same issues (Adelaide, AUS, Optus) for past couple hours. Just managed to sneak in now without having to alter anything. Not sure if ZOS managed to fix it, or if it's a temporary fix on my end. Try
