We are aware that a technical issue is affecting access to Facebook and instagram for customers of many Internet service providers. We are working with Facebook to restore full access for customers,
We have identified the problem and an engineer is on their way.

Apparently, this unusual problem is affecting the HSBC website too.
Wonder if there's been some hacking taking place to take down certain sites.
One of the methods that modern day terrorists use is to cause disruption and financial loss via the internet...

Re: Can't get to Facebook from virgin connection
Earlier this morning I was having weird problems with certain sites(eg HSBC banking), but by mid-afternoon the problems had gone.

Re: Can't get to Facebook from virgin connection

Re: Can't get to Facebook from virgin connection
Yup, just think how many problems could be avoided if everyone bought their own proper router. In this one case alone, how many tens of thousands (or even hundreds) coukdnt access fb and how many calks did it generate to India? I am just glad that most of these annoying hiccups remain transparent to us.

Re: Can't get to Facebook from virgin connection
Right, because clearly most people with their own proper router don't just leave the WAN to DHCP, which would pull Virgin's DNS anyway.

Re: Can't get to Facebook from virgin connection
It's very slow here in Cardiff. At least an hour or so.
Problems popping up http://downdetector.co.uk/problems/facebook
Most of the UK is glowing red on the outage map.

Most of the reports are from VirginMedia customers.
