    Above.net's atlantic link is down -- meaning no USA Internet for large chunks of the world.

    Most people's problems are being caused by the backbone failure.

    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.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    UK sites seem to be working for me fine - others are iffy at best still.

    I've had a few problems with UK sites and I'm in the UK, with Broadband from Freeserve (just for a free trial )

    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
    I own a PC that changes regularly, so I don't bother putting anything in here...

    Could have dialed up to a pay-per-minute ISP for a few hours, would have worked quite well....
