Anyone else seeing issues with BBC sites?

Is anyone else having to wait over 15secs for web pages to load on the BBC or a failure to load the page, this as far as i can see is affecting most of the related stuff I player although if the content actually loads it streams ,but not without a few pauses, the bbc is the only location i'm seeing this even though the latency when pinged seems normal sub 30ms ,
Is the bbc having problems ? there is no mention of it on their web site

Fine here.

Which ISP you with?

No problems loading the BBC page here, empty the browser cache and see if it helps at all.

Fine here.

Instant here.

No problem here either

I've been having problems with BBC all day.

Web site loading slowly and iplayer on freesat said there was no internet connection.

So what have we both got in common. I'm on O2 LLU (old premium) but use Open DNS.

Not had any problems with anything else or any other web site I've tried.

*edit*

it's not DNS as I have changed to Google DNS and the problem still exists.

that confirms what i thought it's an isp related issue I'm with Be ,

... or peering issue and therefore something up with Linx?

We have received reports for poor connectivity to numerous web sites from our network. UPDATE: The engineers identified the problem to be with unbalanced traffic to one of our peering providers
