Working fine for me too.

I can get through straight away using both FF and Opera - but am using OpenDNS

Am I missing some thing here? Logged in straight away but looking on the home page and the ratings there is no mention of Idnet.

I had no issue if i used anonymouse yesterday, all is fine today, O2/Be users seemed to have the same issues, maybe a routing error then via Idnet after the troubles with the central

Who takes notice of DSL Zone though Q, TH and Kitz get more traffic I would have thought, and does it matter anyway, we know they are a good ISP

I was simply replying to Den's post stating that he could not see IDNet mentioned.

I know, I was replying to your one about DSL Zone and why that site matters when is a mess, and we don't want the whole of the UK knowing how good Idnet are now do we

I've not been able to get into dslzone for days so thought today I would try another dns, used google and was able to load the page instantly. I still think it's something to do with the site's dns as it seems to be affecting more than one isp

Have you let support know?

quandam · Mar 20, 2010, 12:55:51

I have been unable to access DSL Zone for the last 36 hours or so. I still wonder if it is down to the large amount of spam/gobbledegook they were hit with a couple of days ago, the problem arose immediately after the hit ?

Rik · Mar 20, 2010, 12:57:07

It's possible, Q. If it's still an issue on Monday, I'll ask support.

Go in via Hide My Ass and it works (again).

there is a thread running http://w3.hidemyass.com/index.php?q=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5kc2x6b25ldWsubmV0L2ZvcnVtL3ZpZXd0b3BpYy5waHA%2FZj0yNCZ0PTIwMTA0 about the DNS issues which are clearly affecting other people.

It is clear that members with other ISP's are having the same trouble, so this is down to the site and not Idnet.
