MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley

babelfish · 25-11-2003, 17:12

Hi all,

Anyone having connection problems in Bromley? I can browse this site OK and also the ntlworld site but cannot browse anything else or connect to pop3 servers.

I can't even look at the server status page!

Thanks

Babelfish.

25 November 2003 16:32 DNS degradation - affecting all internet packages
ntl:home internet customers on all packages may currently experience difficulties using the service due to a DNS server outage.

This is likely to affect all internet services (browsing, email, FTP) for customers in some regions, and access to certain websites and servers in other regions.

Our engineers are aware of this issue and are working to resolve it as soon as possible.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

When will this **** ever end....

This site is fine because the ip address is still in your cache, if you restarted the computer it would stop working with the rest

Yeh my connection on broadband has gone completely. I'm now on dialup. Although this is flaming slow. I didn't find out what was happening until I read the NTL service page. It took long enough to get onto that as well.

My email & www is stuffed. Does indeed look like DNS issue. Using dialup. Still having some problems with DNS on pipex also. I wonder what's up.
