internet gone down

[Gary]

The outage has spread to me, over in a rather warm Cambridge, now too :-(

Great pubs in Cambridge though so a good excuse to ignore the internet

I don't think there's a geographical basis to it; it's just a BT routing question, or pot luck, as to which people are affected.  People are affected across all ends of the country, while other people in the same areas are not.

I think you are right, on the bright side it is a lovely day

No Internet for me now. Router showing I'm connected but nothing works. Same for my sister half a mile away, also on idnet.

The words 'bad' and 'to worse', spring to mind.

Just to confirm, as someone earlier said West Sussex is fine.

Thats where I am (01342), and router shows ADSL/Internet connection, but browsing doesnt work as I cant sync with IDnets IP.

Looks like we will have to go to the pub or neighbours to watch England versus Germany

01243 here and so far it works.......does not look promising though at this rate, hope they sort it soon.

Very true, Gary - I was conscientiously checking them out on Friday evening Have stuff online that I must get done today though, but am firing up FlightSim for a bit in the meantime (not used that for months, so it's good to have the excuse!).

@Gary:  Wow, we are so close yet so different.

Really strange how different connection stati can be despite being located in the same area

sounds about the best thing to do, hopefully BT will sort this, but if they plan to work tonight I hope they don't decide to do it all then, rather than sort it now. Nothing would surprise me with them

Lost my connection at 1pm and still not up. I've powered down the router for 30mins aswell.

Devizes : 01380

I noticed, same numbers slightly different order   odd how things can vary so much in the same area really.

It's spread to South Leicestershire now, I've just got back on line again after restarting my router.

Hi.

I am still having problems, and I live in West Sussex - 01342

Hope they fix it soon.

When did yours go down, Ray?

[Ray]

When did yours go down, Ray?

Not sure exactly, Gary, but I think it was sometime just after 1:00pm I discovered it was off at 1:25pm, powered down the router for a couple of minutes and it reconnected ok when I switched it back on.

[Simon]

cjay.

My connection went down briefly but has been steady since (01444).

Thats when I had my LCP down moment, Ray. Maybe when people were swapped over to the over link?

Thanks Simon

I think I will switch off my router for 1/2 hour and then try again!!

Will let you know

Could have been, Gary, I know when I found I couldn't get onto Idnetters site I logged into my router and it said everything was connected as normal, but physically checking the router the Internet indicator light was off.

Connection down in Somerset as well
Can ping and configure router and have ADSL and internet lights, but no external connection whatsoever.
Oh well, lovely day and a good book to read; things could be worse.

[kinmel]

mine has now gone down as well ( 01745 ).

I had not disconnected.

I am logged in through a neighbour's wireless connection and checking his router log, nothing happened on his line.

It appears to affect only Idnet and the fault appears to be spreading.

[cavillas]

It seems strange that idnet connectons have gone down in Clacton butnot here in Walton.  Both have 01255 numbers but 2 different exchanges, they both go via Ilford and then onto London.  I find it strange to understand.

[Tacitus]

Sis (S. Derbyshire) has been appprox 17hrs with no connection. This is not good!!
