Massive problems on the net. Whats going on?

andysimo123 · March 22nd, 2006, 07:12 PM

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?

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

Peyre · March 22nd, 2006, 07:43 PM

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

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.
