We will be in touch
Ebay down, downforeveryorjust me also down!
YOU I opened both fine
Me too, some sites are working fine though? 😕
I get this:
Redirecting you to http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/
and nothing else.
Same for ebay
so is this not the internets?
Yes, BBC, youtube, here are fine.
Say 'Cannot find ....' DNS down somewhere?
Nothing at all here, everything dead.
[code]Oops! Google Chrome could not find www.ebay.co.uk
Try reloading: www.ebay.co.uk[/code]
Youtube OK though
I think DNS fubarred somewhere.
cant get eBay.co.uk or .com but downforeveryone says it's just me.
on chrome I just get long Resolving Host notification before no load. Same on IE. And multiple devices.
Other sites loading but taking longer time ("Resolving Host") to load too.
Ahhh interesting...same thing on BOTH of our lines here. BBC fine, ebay down...others variable. Both of our connections are with BT. How about you?
Change yer DNS settings to Google's public ones:
8.8.8.8
4.4.4.4
On a mac this is done by:
system preferences > network > advanced > DNS tab > enter the above > hit ok
oh, and long name resolution delays here too...oh noes! The Interwebs is broken!!! 🙂
I'm on BT.
Downforeveryone still not working
I dont think one can change the DNS servers for Bt Homehub can you?
Problems with BT DNS here too. Switching to Google DNS as Jamie suggests fixes it for me.
BT dead here too, PITA that you can't change it on the HH
I dont think one can change the DNS servers for Bt Homehub can you?
I think you're right. I had an old laptop that still had OpenDNS set up, I had to reset it to auto when we changed to BT a few weeks ago.
On BT here.
downforeveryone not working either.
Whats this google DNS alternative, saw it the other day in my settings somewhere. Is it better?
Same here. Amazon dead, Mumsnet 😳 dead, autotrader too.
I can't log on to MyBT, so maybe this is related.
Yes, helpfully the BT help site is also el-deado 😀 Anyway according to the partially working twitter feed it looks like a national problem
Are we doomed? Off to panic buy bottled water and tinned beans...
If anyone needs anything googling, or buying from Amazon, let me know. £10 a search/item bought 😈
...oh, and well done BT for locking users out of your DNS settings. Not backfiring at all.
anyone using a chromebook can change name servers very easily (I know it's easy coz I just did it! ) by clicking on through to the wireless network connection, selecting the Network tab and choosing the Google Name servers.
Unfortunately I cant find a way of doing it on chrome running on a PC.[img]

All the above fine here. PlusNet.
Yep thats where I saw it, had to click my current wireless connection to find the network tab.
ebay now works for me 🙂
And sites seem to load faster than they have for a while?!
On BT.
Amazon and Ebay dead.
Amazon.co.uk dead..Amazon.com still alive
downforme is actually dead too
It's my fault...I am trying to set up a linux server at moment and I think I accidentally deleted bits of the internet whilst ssh
Can someone explain to an idiot (me) why I can get on some sites but not others?
some bt overpaid monkey has torn the pages out of the BT Internet's big telephone directory and lost them.
Fortunately there's other directories, like Thomson and Yellow Pages, that you can use while BT type up a new one.
I would google the answer but...
Chinese cyber attack?
Damn Communists, after my precious bodily fluids!
twitter went down for me about 9.30am, not earth shattering but i was having a conversation wi a bunch of hungover mates at glasto, a few other websites are down as well. I bet it's aliens……..
How is STW?
STW is still old skool clockwork, i imagine a bunch of immigrant hamsters are powering the stw office wheel while Chipps has tethered a few parakeets to the wind turbine on the roof but i believe Andy Armstrong is working on a new site……...
All ok for us Virgins
On BT Infinity here but using google DNS. Lots of sites not available.
Whatchaonabooot, the main sites are still working ok, chillax bro's 😆
I'm on BT infinity as well and having the same problem
Some sites a broken for me too. Bt broadband here
Yeah Its BT, my facebook is full people saying things don't work
...and we're back!
Let that be a wake up call for you... How would you cope next time if or when the problems are permanent?...
Yeah BT have loads of issues today, causing me some right grief but heyho. At least I'm at home and can watch the Moto GP on TV as their online stream doesn't work.
[quote=ohnohesback ]Let that be a wake up call for you... How would you cope next time if or when the problems are permanent?...
It's OK. Google (DNS) came to the rescue.
Let that be a wake up call for you... How would you cope next time if or when the problems are permanent?...
Just fine thanks.
Anyway it's back up and running now so I will know what people are having for lunch. Thank god.
On BT here,was hoping to get the livestream for the MotoGP race,but it's not streaming.Looks like I'll have to go out for a rainsoaked bike ride now..
My plusnet went away last weekend, back mid-Monday, down yer in Wessex. I assumed something big needed changing at BT, looks like it's yours turns this weekend.
Nah! Only out for 3 hours.
All seems to be working in the People's Republic of Wessex, Wiltshire division.
It's back working now,just watched a excellent 600 race from Assen.
Now it's time to get out on the road bike..
Internet dead?
Is it me or is it slightly ironic to post on a web forum that the internet isn't working ?
dammmit! And now a power spike has just fried my Xbox PSU brick!
It's just been on the radio news. BT fault, patchy but UK wide.
Unfortunately I cant find a way of doing it on chrome running on a PC.
That's because it won't in Chrome, but your system networking settings. On Mac you can go to System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> DNS and set your DNS servers there.
Can't comment on Windows, but I'm sure someone knows how to do it.
BT apologise but ofer no reason or compo
According to BT and not the BBC they are investigating. Compo for a 3 hour outage, hahahaha!
Three hours for some, thee days for others, and not for the first time. If ICBA to add up over a year, it might be worth asking. It's not yet as bad as VM was, though.
The people who have had 3 days is due to cable theft so probably a different issue. I'm sure they'll probably offer something there.
