Perhaps your DNS settings on your Windows 7 is different from Windows 8 hence the issue between the two.
Perhaps try either Google or Open DNS settings.

Everything set up properly on both W7 and W8 so that is not the issue.
The problem most likely was caused by a switch or router in the path to the final TOTV server that was either off line or misconfigured.
Regarding the references to Century Link there are two sides to that company, one the commercial network handling side and the other the consumer ISP side. The issue was on the commercial side that handles the routing of the packet data through the internet. Thus other ISP providers were also effected if the route happened to go through the Century Link equipment.
If you are on Century Link as you ISP and the route just happened to take you around the troubled piece of equipment you were fine but others were no so lucky regardless of their ISP.
