Thanks for the update Jeff, it's appreciated.

Update 2 - Unlike NunoAriasSilva, still not working in the UK.

Hi Cian,

In Portugal is working, maybe some replication still ongoing.

Still not working from the UK.

Definitely seems like a geo issue, whether that's something in front of the site like DNS, CDN, load balancing, proxy, something like that perhaps. Another https://www.geoscreenshot.com/capture shows this in action:

    From the blogs menu item above and then click Office blog on the right it goes to here:
    https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Office-365-Blog/bg-p/Office365Blog
    Which works, but the shortcut blogs.office.com gives an access denied and reroutes to http://www.microsoft.com.
