Also have the same issue using a MAC with Safari.

When the log in issue happens, all options fail about the same way, usually a timeout or a VERY LONG response time to a log in request. All other internet sites work fine.

I have worked in the IT industry all my life and this problem is due to high traffic at the TOTV host site.
I agree with this...not sure if it's traffic to the site or the that the server itself is loosing a connection to the net, but either way, it's a provider problem; not a client issue. I, too, have used various methods to attempt connection to TOTV and all have the same results during these outage periods.

The problem is not on our end or our ISP... This has been an intermittent problem for several months now.
