Cant get onto any website except this one
 
Very strange I cant get on any websites accept this one have phoned VM and they say there is a fault in the area and are sorting it but how strange that I can still connect to this site but no other site.

Whereabouts in Essex are you Smee? I'm near Walthamstow and getting similar probs!

Might be worth trying the OpenDNS servers:

208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.

smee init, if it was a DNS issue i cant see why it would affect all other sites except just one.

I'm having a similar problem (Colchester, CO4). Some websites work, other's done. It's not specifically a DNS problem as I'm using OpenDNS.
I can SSH into my firewall from BT Internet, but I can't SSH in from work. There doesn't appear to be any info about it on the Virgin Media server status page. I would call them, but it's too late to be talking to India.

Thanks phoenix :)

Someone with the issue needs to call before 2nd line finish at midnight, who's going to be the brave one?

Looks like it's fixed now? Tried a few sites and they all respond at the expected speed.
