503 errors on bbc
I'm getting 503 errors on BBC radio 6 and problems loading BBC news at the moment. I switched to google dns servers after problems with Virgin two weeks ago. Anybody else seeing this?

Somehow I don't think 6Music is really a top priority news site for the Russians.

Re: 503 errors on bbc
Just about everything had gone AWOL on me including CF. Switched DNS and it's all back fine. Looks like VM haven't resolved their DNS issues.

Re: 503 errors on bbc
DNS would have nothing to do with 503 errors.

Re: 503 errors on bbc
Its a BBC internal issue, seems that a lot of things are stuffed:

Re: 503 errors on bbc
how interesting, given the size of the organisation you would think they would have a team of IT bods that would swing into action immediately.

Re: 503 errors on bbc
I'm sure they have bods but not every problem is as simple as turn-it-off-and-on-again instant-fix. There's also a downside of being so big, that being systems have many different levels and inter-dependant components all run by different departments if not different companies and locating a fault between them is not always quick.
