Problems connecting to Google & Facebook (SSL connection error)

[Susanbrand]

Hi There

For the past 3 days our ADSL have been "blocking" any google related sites, as well as facebook. All the other websites are working fine - except those. It gives me the following message:SSL connection error. What could be the problem?
I have tried restarting the the modem - does not help!

First thing is to check that your system time is set correctly.

Hi there. Thanks, but thats not the problem. Doesn't work on both our phones and computers, and their time is correct.

You might also be a victim of this.

Hopefully you can still watch You Tube clips ?

This is a short clip, but the kid (literally) speaks indistinctly (American accent) & 1/2 the graphics are in Chinese (!), but you should be able to follow ..
