Sky Routing Problems

Looks as though Sky are having some fairly major routing issues.

Going by how slammed the Sky Service Status page is this is affecting a fair few people.

Fixed.

Fixed.

There are reports elsewhere that many sites were down for people on quite a lot of ISPs this morning - BE, BT Infinity, and from hosted servers at Rapidswitch and other hosting centres.

Some big BGP issue maybe?

Yes, issue was at Telia or Level3 by the looks of it, Sky were getting to Level3 ok, the correct route for Sky to Telia, then getting stuck.

I didn't really bother making further investigations into the matter through Telia's looking glass.

World of Warcraft players would've been up in arms.
