Cable Forum - View Single Post - Loss of DNS? in Leeds 4 times in the last 6 days

I've been having problems with my broadband. On friday/sunday/tuesday and tonight. It's done it in the evenings (around 8pm to midnight give or take an hour). It's just come back now at 10.57pm.

Basically what happens is I can access emails, but browsing doesn't work.
I put a url (one based in the USA) into neotrace to see what was going on. It gets from Leeds to London in around 6 or 7 hops, all ip's resolve as they should. The node in London doesn't resolve, then after around 25 seconds of waiting it says the response time on that node is around 20ms and then all nodes after that resolve fine until the destination.

For browsing I can't get pages to work. If I really persevere eventually I can get a page up but it's a lot of hassle and not really worth it.

I'm guessing this means ntl are having problems with a DNS server in the London area? Can anyone confirm this?

EDIT: I've just this minute received 2 emails (from a friend, not spam) that I already received before (one yesterday, one 3 days ago)!
