Looks like my late night gaming is ruined!  :'(

bed time for me

Kaltern

Heh its never good when the OpenDNS website won't open either!!

I suppose I should probably try out this sleep thing... I'm not very good at it mind.

Well I work odd hours, so I'll be up till mid morning at least which makes it all the more frustrating that the problem hasn't been resolved or even acknowledged on the IDNET service status rss.  A non functioning internet connection for me during this time of night means you may as well cut my head off because lets be honest it's not as if I can go sit in the garden or nip out to the shops for a bit, there isn't a lot to do!

Kaltern

Well.... you COULD sit in the garden I suppose... best take a warm blanket and plenty of Bovril to keep you going though  ;D

Seems to be more than DNS as I sent that via a vpn and it worked, but still couldnt connect to the site (Toms hardware). Those having 404 errors are interesting, that dosnt sound like routing tho.

Tracert seems to time out after xe-1-0-0.mpr2.lhr3.uk.above.net [64.125.27.174].

Daveproxy with the network site shows a problem in Manchester - this is new as it was clear only a hour or so ago.

Yet another issue on IDNET. These problems never seem to happen when we actually have availability to the IDNET helpline. Thank god for BTinfinity, where I'll be moving to soon.

As in BT's Fibre and ISP service.... :no: I'd rather use dial-up. ;D

Same problem here. Half the websites won't load, and can't connect to any blizzard server. At least MSN is working!  :fingers:

Have to say over the last few months i've had a number of problems with my connection dying for a few hours at a time. Mostly at night rather than at peak though. No idea if its IDNET or BT to blame but either way it's getting annoying now  :'(

Rather a service that tells me it's errors than one that completely ignores them.

There was an outage at Linx tonight. They have now resolved the problem by replacing a switch card.

Linx are getting quite unreliable recently it seems.

Thanx for the update Simon  :thumb:

Hmmm, definitely still problems for me, pages timing out etc.

Still a lot of unreachable sites, also effecting any chance of online gaming.

It goes from slow loading to non responsive constantly.  >:(

Lona

Same here.  Been slow all day for me. :-\

I won't pretend to know who Linx are Simon, but you better go and give them another kick up the arse!

That's the London Internet Exchange, a lot of UK traffic passes through there: https://www.linx.net/pubtools/trafficstats.html

Slowly gotten better for me over the past hour, however Steam remains unable to connect at my end (along with a couple of other sites). Thanks for the info and let's hope everything is resolved soon!

e: Steam seems to be working now along with everything else. All good for me.

Broadly speaking I think LINX (London Internet Exchange) allows ISPs to exchange data directly rather than having to rely on other networks.

Sites that were hit by the switch card failure are slowly coming back for me now so it should be the same for everyone else.

Thanks for the update Simon.

That does seem to be the case here as well.

Mine seems to be getting worse.

I was playing an online game, and listening to an online radio station.

The game conked out several times, so gave up with that and started a shell session on a couple of remote servers. The US based one dropped the connection but the UK one stayed up so I continued working on that.

Now both are up but are veeeeeeeerrrry slow.

And the online radio is having buffering issues.

I'm guessing that even though this is supposedly fixed now, it'll probably cause problems throughout the weekend...

BTW are things working again now? It seems ok from my brief wander round.

It seemed to be a slow fix in that it took a while for some sites to become reachable again but it all seems fine now.
