Just wondered if anyone else had noticed hotmail and a few other sites are completely dead at the moment ?

Just tried mine and it's working ok mate.
Maybe it's a local problem or they have sorted it out.

i got straight into hotmail Jimmy

I can't get Hotmail either and on other sites I have to refresh a few times before it works. I've posted something about it as I thought it was my PC, but maybe it's more fundamental than that. Interesting to see what others are experiencing.

Ah, it's loaded Hotmail now.

e2a: are you on Virgin Jimmy? I am.

theres a fibre break in the south west of england, according to tiscali.

nah , gfx6.homail.com is dead .... maybe it's my ISP ....

yup ....

it's interesting, as the DNS servers are obviously working ... just the particular sites are not responding .. first noticed it about 7pm, when Mrs read her hotmail, and tried to click a link in a mail ... just spent forever. I've tried from my laptop and had the same ... oh well

on the basis I can't even get the Virgin Service status page up, I guess it's a big problem somewhere ....

yep, facefuk is dead in sunny manchester, o well hahahhahahaha

Hmmm, interesting. My PC has been displaying seemingly DNS lookup problems for the last week... maybe I should get in touch with Virgin.

Hope yours is sorted soon Jimmy.

my internet light on my bt router keeps going out... pisses me off when im playing fb poker...

yeh the gf cant get onto fuckin twat-bo...sorry facebook tonight.

...

Anyone having trouble with their ISP's DNS servers should try using OpenDNS.

nice one scribble,..think i seen you left this somewhere before n i thought...,Ouuughghg i should save that...but never did...!!...have now....thankyou.

@ bizz hatred of facefuck

my internet's fine, in fact my isp recently upgraded my net so its 75% faster

hmm, certain sites are down.. ic.. comododotcom..

ICMag and Comodo are up for me here - it might be your ISP's DNS - ¿why not try OpenDNS? That's what I use.

Glad i found this thread i thought my computer was fooked had problems with my connection for the last few days.
I'm near Stockport if that means anything.

I'm using OpenDNS but I've still been having problems (though it seems a bit better the last 24 hours). Firefox was just updated and that required a Flash update as well, I'm beginning to think FF might be the culprit. It certainly eats my RAM! Maybe I'll try Google Chrome for a while and see how that goes.

seems lots of folk are getting similar probelms all over have mates on facebook that i talk to in chat but not much this week as its been real slow and a proper pain in the ass tbh
