I can't get to Google.co.uk and Google.com

Cableforum is slow, however Facebook and Ebay are working perfectly here.

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Virgin seem to be having problem then?

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Yup. Wife can't browse .jp sites and domestic internet banking is in the toilet also.

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Amazon is also down for me.

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Same here. I can access Facebook, but can't access Google, Twitter, Amazon and tons of other sites. Posting from my phone cos I can't access this site on Virgin either.

Just got off the phone to Virgin. They said it is a problem with a Google server that should be resolved within 4 hours. I'm not holding my breath though because last time the was a routing issue it took days to fix.

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

No problems here with google.co.uk, Amazon or my banking sites

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Bah the first time I put the Xbox on in months and can't get on live :td:

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

A few are not working for me such as www.hotukdeals.com www.speedtest.net and Amazon is also loading slow. Seems like Virmin are having DNS issues

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

I lost all internet with my DNS servers set to OpenDNS as i normally have them, reverting back to the VM server brought the net back.

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

My internet was working fine today, and then all of a sudden it kicked me of World of Warcraft as if my internet disconnected. Now i can't get back on the game or my VoIP program (mumble) but everything else is working fine.

Can't get on www.battle.net either...or a number of other websites...but a lot are fine.

anybody know if this actually on virgin's end or is there something i'm going to have to do to fix this?

cheers.

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

What are your DNS servers set to? 194.168.4.100:53, 194.168.8.100:53?

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Speedtest works for me, however hotukdeals doesn't.

Some random sites that dont work for me are:

http://google.co.uk
http://digiex.net
http://bbc.co.uk
http://theverge.com

MSN Messenger and Skype also do not work for me.

I'm guessing its a routing issue as i use Google DNS, however swhen witching back to Virgins DNS the same websites / services don't work.

If you have access to a VPN use that, thats how im browsing websites that don't work at the moment.

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

I'm having the same problem on Virgin. No problem on Be ADSL though.

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

DNS : 194.168.4.100 194.168.8.100

I left the entries in my router empty and these are defaults i've been allocated. I will try Googles DNS servers to see if this makes any difference

Edit

Tried Google DNS no difference. Some websites though are loading but very very slowly, www.bbc.co.uk for example

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Mine's up the spout as well, can get on all but a few websites, Google is struggling, my IP Phone isn't working properly and Cheezburger is down :[ lol

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

I've got problems here in CV11, virtually no Internet access - thank goodness for iPad with cellular; faults is a no no, says 20 minute wait then call cuts of

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

I`ve had issues in Cov as well, no access to the likes of Netflix, Xbox.Com, Engadget, IMDB. BBC is one of few sites which is Ok.

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Yep. Can't get on 90% of websites on my end either. Today is my only day off from work this week and I find it fantastic that Virgin Media are screwing up meaning I can't pay bills, check my accounts and have a general browse. Great service. Should add that I'm in Bolton.

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

hotukdeals, Google and most annoyingly eBay aren;t working for me

I'm Southampton so from the look of it it's a national VM issue.

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

So I guess we can call it a national issue now then?

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Not quite - OK here... :)

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Correct

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

I am in the cv12 area and i have little service here

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Some websites are working fine for me (EG. Cable Hell, eBay, Facebook) but a lot of the sites I'm actually wanting to access (EG. Halifax, National Rail) are down...

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Message on the phone says reboot the modem lmfao

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Same problem in South Wales, and yes, faults just gets cut off. Not a DNS issue, I suspect its a peerring problem, possibly right at VM's network edge.

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

reckon you could put Sept 29th on the title, too?

re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Good idea :)

Re: National Broadband Issues
 

There needs to be better management of the forum posts across the whole of the site, multiple posts are opened about the same matter, everything is 100mb orientated, not everybody uses 100mb, and this issue, is national

Re: National Broadband Issues
 

This is the very nature of forums I'm afraid, keeps us in a job ;)

Re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Title ought to mention 'Cable' though - 'National Broadband' is ADSL

Re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Mine seems to be OK now, just me or is everyone's sorted?

I've amended the thread title enough now ;)

Re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Seems fixed for me now..

Re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Sorted for me too

Re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Ok here too.

Re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

All good here too! :)

Re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Yep, all sites now working :-)

Re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Fixed!

Re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Right after i said it was ok, i again lost access to Google but also lost access to Cableforum and BBC.co.uk, i i am guessing it still isn't 100%.

Ok for now though.

Re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Yep me too, seems a bit blippy.

Re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

All good on my end too. Didn't take long. Back to it then. :)

Re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Fine for myself also. :)

Re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

LE3 still off, luckily I have an ADSL as back up;)

Re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Yeah I think it's still a little bit poorly

Re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

It has been fast and normal here for a while now.

Re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Just checked - mine's running terribly. 23Mb dl and ping of 38ms on a 50Mb.

Re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Can anyone access this website http://www.mozilla.org/

or even this website

http://www.mozilla.org/firefox

Re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Yes I can and you're already discussing this in the thread you started earlier:

Re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Shouldn't have been broken in the first place

Re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Mine seems to be off again

Re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Mine is up and down again tonight. WoW is unplayable too. Google loads sporadically.

Re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Mine is up and down again tonight too :L

Re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Yep same here :\

Re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

hahahaha - I had no problem ! But, actually I am not with virgin media anymore!

Virgin Media is going downhills! Serve them right !

Re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Our 30Mb had a couple of blips yesterday but self-restored after a couple of hours each time. Again today, it's been unusable twice for several hours. The second, is just now. It's been dead since several hours - I'm currently getting a combined 40KB/s across 2 simultaneous downloads.

I've had to connect using my mobile to post this, Virgin has lost DNS completely. Nothing on the status line, which is the most frustrating bit. I'm certainly not wasting time this time of night with offshore Tech Support. Will just have to hope that network ops know about it.

Re: [Sept 29th '12] National Broadband Issues
 

Been getting a lot of trouble over last week with BB. Sites not loading, sites blocked randomly and speeds varying wildly from 12 MB/s to 50 MB/s on a 30 MB/s package. Sort it out Virgin, the service on internet and TV over last week and half is not acceptable. If I wasn't tied to a contract I would go elsewhere, like BT.
