Is anyone else occasionally getting a 'connection down' error from Chrome (or 'Secure Connection Failed' from Firefox) when changing page - if I hit refresh it works fine. At first I wondered if it was the site I was using but have noticed it on multiple different major websites over the past couple of months and not noticed it from other locations where I don't use Three Broadband so does seem to be related to the router/connection (this is via wired Ethernet too, so not a WiFi problem). I've tried changing DNS server in case that helps but no difference.
It mainly seems to happen when trying to first load a site or (annoyingly) at checkout when a different site is being loaded as part of the checkout process. It certainly doesn't happen everytime but does happen with reasonable frequency. I've also noticed I often get it when trying to pull/push from/to Github too and have to do so a number of times for it to work (browsing the Github website works fine).
Curious do you guys get this when trying to launch the xbox app? At first I thought it was my gaming pc, being first time tried to use it in eons. It was broke a while ago but couldnt be bothered to look at it. This loops in circles over and over when try again. At first I thought it was my PC, but realised my kids pcs are doing exactly the same too - and not a single game on gamepass has worked for them etc in some time.....so I'm wondering if its similar to file downloads in chrome where it just wants to restart over and over (nb: tried all the usual registry and powershell fixes and MS store fixes. Not too bothered as dont fancy playing any MS gamepass games for the past few months and dont fancy the mammoth task of wiping my games PC - but if its linked I can see that being a huge problem for some
