It is the same symptoms as I saw on Three:
- intermittent problems of starting TCP connections (shows itself as complex websites failing to load images, stylesheets and javascript)
- partially "sticky" i.e. I'll have a couple of websites showing the issue at a time for an extended period when other sites are fine
- some other sites not impacted at all, all day (for example I did a full days development work using various Salesforce sites, not impact at all and no impact on the couple of sites I host on Linode)
- connecting via VPN makes the problem go away
- streaming completely unaffected
Sites I've seen the issue on repeatedly today (but plenty of other sites impacted on and off):
- this site
- theverge
I've logged an automated problem ticket on EE's status page.
Anyone else seen this on EE ? I've had to connect via VPN just to post this

Ironically in the early hours of this morning my connection was running at the highest speeds I've ever seen, hitting the 100Mbps limit of my Mikrotik's Ethernet port. I wonder if they rolled something new out last night ?
