Hello folks, I'm looking for a little help please,
All of a sudden all of the websites I visit which have regional variances seem to think I'm in Ireland. I've already tried a couple of other forums and Virgin themselves but no-one has a solution/suggestion at this time as to what is wrong.
I'm in Norwich and am used to seeing google.co.uk instead of google.ie, ebay's the same (ebay ireland), basically anywebsite which is large enough to have global appeal, now defaults to Ireland as my location.
I would put it down to a weird setting in firefox except it happens on all 3 PC's in the house and in IE.
I have the same IP address as I've had for the last 6 yrs using an ntl 255 modem and looking up my location with
http://www.hostip.info/ clearly shows me as being in Norwich.
Could Virgin be routing my web traffic via Ireland for some reason?
Any help or suggestions would be gratefully received since this is driving me mad (you would be amazed how frustrating it is having to keep clicking through to UK sites, even with the BBC news and stuff)!
.M.
Anyone have any ideas?
