Re: Anyone else experiencing slow internet?

Wow, the 194.168.4.100 and 194.168.8.100 in particular DNS servers are well borked. No chance resolving www.xbox.com on either, and www.bbc.co.uk only resolves on the first one! I'm switching DNS while they sort this one out. They are really having a bad week!

Maybe it is the speed doubling but my area has had 100Mbit for about a year now. It's funny it's the edge of the VM network and nowhere internal. That said, my speed is great now and ping times are back to normal.

Re: Anyone else experiencing slow internet?

half the sites I usually go on are either partially not working or completely dead tonight, this is definitely a virgin media network issue somewhere. The virgin media community isn't working for me either, nor is 'my virgin media'.

Re: Anyone else experiencing slow internet?

I'm using googles DNS servers on my router and PC and still having problem accessing certain websites.

I think its a routing issue.

Same problems here. Was fine till about 6 tonight. Xbox.com and many others not working. This is the first issue I've had with this though.

Re: Anyone else experiencing slow internet?

Looks like a circuit or routing failure somewhere on the backbone, there seem to be a few sites unreachable from here at the moment.
