 * This is not an AWS problem, it’s a Singlehop/Wordpress.org problem.

 * Yes it is DEFINITELY a networking problem, but as the traceroute results above
   show: there is connectivity all the way up to the very last hop before reaching
   wordpress.org.
 * In other words, it’s your website, not AWS.
 * Please just pass this request to somebody who actually does the networking for
   WordPress’s website. PLEASE.
