Connection to BBC/Google etc?
About 10 minutes ago I lost connection to the main news areas of BBC and the google.com site, this was just after messenger started to give me errors too - most other sites work, but are slow - anyone else. I'm in Cambridge

Same here in Coventry this quite usual now with NTL where you only get half the web and pages that take nearly a minute to download sometimes. ADSL here we come.

Similar here (Teesside).
BBC news site went off, other sites too. Some sites work, e.g. Channel4 site but some banners on the page won't display.
Email ok.
No newsgroups
Changed to a different proxy (cardiff) and bbc site works. Still no newsgroups.

Re: Connection to BBC/Google etc?
Yep, I'm in Reading and Yahoo is playing up. It tends to load the text and struggles with the pictures. I rang tech help when it last happened and they had hundreds of people of in a phone queue and an automated message so I'm sure they are well aware of it this time. Hopefully won't take long to put right.

Re: Connection to BBC/Google etc?
Same here, BBC Google,Gamespot and many more are kaput or incredibly slow, different proxies give varying results, but all are rubbish.
Skype intermittantly down too, all looks foobared.
Just another day in paradise.

Re: Connection to BBC/Google etc?
Same here, I was wondering if it was just me - turns out it's not
I still have BBC and Yahoo access, but both google.co.uk and google.com are dead.
I can ping www.google.com and it resolves and replies:
Pinging www.google.com [66.102.9.147] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 66.102.9.147: bytes=32 time=41ms TTL=244
But going to www.google.com or .co.uk gets nowhere.
However, going to http://66.102.9.147 works 
Rather odd - it was working fine about 15 minutes ago
[Edit]As of posting, www.google.com is back up again here, now. .co.uk still down[/Edit]
[Edit2] As of adding that edit, .co.uk now works. Interesting - all up here and working again now, although still a little confused[/Edit2]

Re: Connection to BBC/Google etc?
They seriously should add "intermittent service problem to popular websites" as the new features.
