We are investigating reports from some customers and visitors to pitch.com domains, whose browsers and apps unable to reach Pitch from home internet connections. Affected locations include southwestern and southern USA, Italy, and Australia. The pitch.com domain appears to be blocked by a few local network providers, due to a likely false positive listing in an internet blocklist. This can prevent access to the website, app, shared decks, and other resources. We are isolating the origin of these localized blocks to return full access to Pitch. Here is a current list of affected providers in confirmed regions:
Cogeco: Canada
EPB: US
Quantum Fiber (incl. CenturyLink): US
Telstra: Australia
TIM: Italy
Other providers using these ISPs or Plume devices may also be blocking pitch.com.
You can find out whether you are using a Plume app through Google Play or Apple App Store. If you are, please reach out to us at support@pitch.com and provide the email address that is registered with your Plume HomePass account or your ISP (as a Plume partner).
You can also reach out to Plume support and mention that pitch.com is not working and cite our Plume ticket number: 322007.
In some cases, your internet service provider may be able to help you restore access to Pitch if you reach out to them directly. There are also a few ways of potentially bypassing the issue locally.
Switching networks or tethering to a mobile device
Since this issue originates with certain network providers, switching to a mobile hotspot or using an alternative network (if one is available to you) should bypass the issue.
