wifi/internet is blocking websites - URL, 403 forbidden
I came home from vacation to discover my internet is blocking certain URL's including my bank and Sling TV. I have no idea why. I can access the sites using a different IP address. I have rebooted multiple times trying to get a new IP to no avail. I cannot get through to a person on the residential line. If I cannot get this resolved, I am going to leave Comcast after a couple of decades now. Please advise.

I believe 403 errors always come from the sites themselves, not your internet. They indicate some kind of permissions mismatch.
You say you can access using a different IP address but is that all you changed? If you're are using a different device, then you also have different cookies, etc. I mention that because I often make a 403 error go away by just clearing my cookies and site data for that site.
