Could this be a DDOS attack again ?

Re: Connection to BBC/Google etc?
 

Problems are occuring here now in Leicestershire and just spoke to sister on other side of town same there, seems to be be dns issues again

Re: Connection to BBC/Google etc?
 

Luton LU3 ebay acting up strangely when viewed from my ntl connection here, getting diverted to "Uk.com" and all sorts, weird problems with google, bbc etc also, as per others

Re: Connection to BBC/Google etc?
 

Possibly, I wonder. Are the symptoms we are seeing now the same?
Like uno says though, could be a knacked or partially knacked dns.

Re: Connection to BBC/Google etc?
 

I admit my knowledge of DDOS attacks is rather limited, but would not a DDOS affect all service, not just select websites, as appeared to be the case? That would be unless the DDOS was on the side of Google/bbc/yahoo but I'm pretty sure that wasn't the case here.

Re: Connection to BBC/Google etc?
 

The front page report on the last DDOS attack gave a link to a thread, it had redirects to other sites ands intermittant access to google bbc etc in it, looks the same this time :(

Belfast, Northern Ireland - yahoo & ebay, amongst others, are inaccessible at the moment.

Re: Connection to BBC/Google etc?
 

If you can resolve the IP address, but not the domain name, it points very much towards NTL's 'infamous' DNS servers.

Re: Connection to BBC/Google etc?
 

seems like NTL servers are getting dossed again.
if they cant control it i can see them losing loads of customers

Re: Connection to BBC/Google etc?
 

Newsgroups appear to have come back.
Google,yahoo now working.
(still on the cardiff proxy).

Re: Connection to BBC/Google etc?
 

And in Harrogate/Knaresborough

This doesn't seem like a DDoS, more like a knackered DNS server due to the focused nature of the problem i.e. popular sites such as Google, Yahoo & the BBC.

Last time this happened I rang India (or NTL as it is otherwise known) and was told "no problems sir, reboot your stb".

I really hate NTL, if we could recieve Terristrial signals or were allowed to put a Sky dish up (building is listed and next to a cliff face) then I would drop NTL like David Seaman.

I hope this gets sorted soon and they offer a proper explanation.

Cheers

Seems my rejoice for it working was premature. Google once again down, now BBC is very weird (no stylesheet) and I've lost yahoo now too :(

I'd agree - for now, I'm surfing by IP, and all is fine.

Re: Connection to BBC/Google etc?
 

Slow browsing, google not available. Ellesmere Port area, Cheshire.

:(

Re: Connection to BBC/Google etc?
 

They come and go, it appears to be fixed then seconds later fails again.

I am going to ring India now
