Re: Have I got a foriegn IP?

I received a reply from the bbc as I had put in a complaint about the adverts. I filled in their webform and it recorded my IP. Their response is that my IP address was 84.53.xxx.xxx and was routed via America. This was at the same time that I couldn't access my bank account.

I don't have any special settings in my browser settings. Just the "direct connection to internet" selected.

This morning - everything is back to normal.


Thank you for your email regarding bbc.com

The BBC website now features a limited about of advertising when viewed from outside the UK.

Having checked your IP address, I have ascertained that it is routed via America so therefore is not recognised by the BBC as a UK IP address.

Can you please go to the following website to report this:

The fault will be fixed shortly after reporting it.

Once again thank you for taking the time to write.
