Right can somebody tell me whats going on? I dont know if its NTL or something crazy is happening. Sites seem to be going offline one by one? All of Google and then parts of yahoo and some others have gone and I cant access them. Anyone any ideas?

Pay your bill? ;)

Funny guy. Its happened to others round here as well. Probs NTL. 1st time anything like this has happened.

http://www.live.com/ check out Microsoft's new search engine, it's better than google :eek:

ntl... they are having another attack on their dns servers right now. youre not alone andy... it happened a couple of weeks ago to ntl and its happening again. they could learn some fucking network security! the probs are nationwide i believe.

and why on earth do you people use NTL?! :no:

because living where i do NTL are the only company to provide broadband. i cannot get adsl, if i could i would.

can you advertise a site on it, like google ad words?

I'm with Virgin and having the same problem

Any search engine that has a loading page is rubbish...

Probably NTL (again!) same problems a few weeks ago. :bash:

No sorry, I'm only a nerd not a geek :cheers:

yes I know a few folk having probs with NTL. I hear most of the probs are up North though.

Always hated NTL. We bought the whole package off them back in 2000, and then once we had the TV, they said we wouldn't get interactive until 2006, the internet NEVER worked properly etc etc.

Moved back to BT, Sky and Pipex for the Internet. No Problems :)

it takes half a second to load.

Try using a personal page.
You have to wait 5 seconds for it to think about opening the page...and then other 5 seconds for it to load your personal settings.

Google does that instantly.

Well, it's only a beta so far, I'm sure the real version will be quicker :)

YESSSS some sites are working now. Am gona have a right go at NTL tomorrow. I have the whole day off tomorrow, so they are gona get some shit.

Thank god I'm not alone. Just spent an hour or so trying to sort out my MSN Messneger connection and can't connect to alot of websites and having all sorts of problems. Am with NTL.

No sorry, I'm only a nerd not a geek :cheers:

That could be another flaw on it, it should be made easier for advertisers.

Thank God, I don't live in The UK. You have got like 'limits' to your 'data trafic', haven't you? :laugh:
New Labour? Archaic Network I would say!

Mine limit is ment to be 3GB a month but I download way more than that a month more like 10-20Gb a month.

they might sponsor a crap football team, but i've never had any trouble with pipex. bt on the other hand, don't get me fucking started. one of their engineers physically cut my telephone line only last week...that on top of a myriad of other problems.

Andy, that's a lot of Barry Vorn, ;)

On that subject our New Telewest High Definition Sky-plus-type box turned up today and IT FUCKING ROCKS!!!

HD is well worth it, and even better Telewest install their box for free and already offer HD programming, whilst Sky will charge a mint for the box, extra for the HD programming, and don't even offer HD yet anyway.

:banana:

^^Sounds great i hope i get my HD box soon.

a charge with no offer? Just what is the UK becoming of?

Barry Vorn = Porn. He's suggesting you're an utterly rabid masturbator.

My NTL is acting up, as usual. Ebay doesn't work. Happened a few weeks ago. And often the connection dies for no reason and I have to unplug the ethernet and plug it back in, which really fucks it up when downloading something.

if you want to get ntl to work specify a different dns server. i have. im using one in belgium now and everything is working fine.

No I am no a utterly rabid masturbator.

I have telewest and no download limikts but i have also been having probs with major sites in the last 24hours.. BBC, Yahoo etc

Everything down my end is fine now. Must have been some problems on NTL's end. Every site works but I bet i speak to soon and it all goes funny again.

Is working fine for me now except the net re-connects every 15 mins or so.

From NTL World:

ntl broadband customers maybe experiencing slow / intermittent webpage browsing due to a network fault. We are working to resolve this fault as quickly as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Update 1:21am:

This issue is still ongoing. We are working to resolve this fault as quickly as possible.

I have adsl over a BT copper landline...Never have problems

I have Telewest broadband, all is well, no download limits, no problems at all, lightening fast as usual..........the only site that has been slow recently is SSC.

the problem isn't always what it seems :

Ewwwwwwwww!

Adds a whole new meaning to "My mouse isn't working" though...

I recon you could call this another internet problem but this is a funny one. I had hosting with fasthosts(dont ever get hosting with them) and I wanted it cancelled because I had changed and I never used it. I sent a bunch of emails and phoned them up afew times and no one ever answered. So I just changed my bank details so they couldnt charge me. Anyway this morning I got an email from them saying that I owe them £3.99 + vat and they are going to send a debt collection agency for the money owed. £4 bloody pound and they are going to send a debt company round cheeky monkeys. No one will ever come round even the debt company would tell them to take a hike. If someone does come round i'll give them a brick and a some grass from the back garden. I think that will cover the costs. :)

I got the same problem with 1+1, except i decided to cancel after a couple of years - from the day i confirmed i wanted to terminate the contract with them, i was presented twice with a letter from a debt agency.I only settled about 5 months ago, it lasted a year in total, for something that should have been settled in little under a week, saying they never received any faxed confirmation when i did sent them so.
If anything, that taught me to keep all emails as a back up for future references, because most companies are very likely to contradict themselves from one email to the other, or they'll tell you they never got your faxed confirmation or email, when you know they did because you requested a receipt, and they simply lost or didn't file the communication. But it's your word against them, so keeping all com. is vital.
