Ok seems somethings wrong when i got home tonight, web is running EXTREMELY slow and 99% of the time when i enter a address and press enter it will display "could not load Search page" and then the site fails to load.
Whats going on? or could it be related to NTL? i can load the NTL homepage and this site after 20 trys.. bout it
Above.net's atlantic link is down -- meaning no USA Internet for large chunks of the world.
NTL are having tehnical problems tonight. What a surprise :rolleyes:
Their DNS servers are down, change them to these:
Primary DNS Server: 212.159.13.49
Secondary DNS Server: 212.159.13.50
In your connection properties.
Most people's problems are being caused by the backbone failure.
Temporarily stickied.
Well, I can get to a site that I know is hosted at Rackshack, and pretty quick loading too, so I presume it's sorted now.
UK sites seem to be working for me fine - others are iffy at best still.
Been browsing globally all night. Not had any problems.
NS
I've had a few problems with UK sites and I'm in the UK, with Broadband from Freeserve (just for a free trial :D)
We knew about this at work from about 6 as we were inundated with calls (I work for BT BB THD)
Not every ISP routes their traffic through above.net and some have more than one connection out to the backbone. Some have no problems at all :) (I switched DNS servers to resolve my NTL hiccups).
Just depends on who your ISP buys their bandwidth from ;)
Yes, I had this problem too. Seems to be sorted now though
this was a major pain in the ass for me :(
as I was hoping to buy some stuff on ebay...
BAH
Could have dialed up to a pay-per-minute ISP for a few hours, would have worked quite well....Quote:
