I am typing in macrumors.com but looks like it's trying to redirect me https://www.macrumors.com/cgi-bin/redirect.ha

I had cleared my cache on my phone and still happens

Figured it out. Looked at the logs.

Looks like you are requesting this page " /cgi-bin/redirect.ha"

It's discussed here:

This issue is AT&T's fault. It is NOT a virus. It has NOTHING to do with peoples computers. It also does not affect all AT&T customers. People experiencing this problem are U-verse customers with the Motorola NVG510 modem. Here's what's happening and how to fix it -
THE PROBLEM:

When your modem loses its connection, AT&T has decided that instead of your browser showing you the generic errors about not being able to connect to the internet, it should intercept your browser request and redirect you to a help page with a friendlier message. This wouldn't be that bad if it weren't for a BUG in the modem firmware. When it redirects you to /cgi-bin/redirect.ha, *it doesn't tell your browser not to cache the page*. That's the problem. Even when your connection is restored your browser continues to redirect you because it has it cached. This is why clearing cache fixes it and why using HTTPS fixes it (browsers don't cache HTTPS).

THE SOLUTION:

You can disable the redirect entirely by enabling telnet on the modem and changing a configuration option.

Thanks for the info ARN....

This happens to me at Starbucks... I have been quite fine at home....

I hope my modem firmware is not that described in this article... but if it is, I'll request AT&T to replace it...

Turns out issue happens at home too... I was able to fix it just by clearing cache...
