COMS - No Service?

Well here I am sending a message on my mobile (what a performance) because for some hours I've had no service, can't connect to the Net at all. I thought the OpenDNS servers were out but it seems there's no internet on Coms at the mo (2 a.m). Anyone else gettng this? Of course if you are you won't be able to get online to read this! What a farce this all is

Yep, I am in the same boat.
My router says under DNS communication "waiting for gateway ping".

I've just had a powercut too and I originally thought it was that. Maybe screwed the router up or something. Had to use my 3 dongle to get online to find out what is going on. Trust Coms to make everything worse!

As an aside, I see that I have been moved on to gateway 109.224.191.51 where I was on .53 before. I believe .51 was the one that was having the packetloss problems. I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Still its a piece of nonsense that Coms dont even have a status page to let us know of any network problems. And I am damned if I am going to contribute more to coms' coffers by phoning their support line... probably just get fobbed off anyway.

I submitted a ticket to support about the no service at 3am. By 7am I had received the usual cookie cutter response about powercycling the router (already done that) and changing out microfilters and cables. Then they say try a new router (like I have a pile of them lying around!) etc etc. Honestly. Coms. What a joke.

Same issue here, seems like the TB ping monitor can still ping the router though. I've sent an email to support, lets see what generic response I get back!

Its clear that there are a number of us with the same issue here. So logic dictates that there is a problem at Coms end of things. It would seem that via the copy & paste response from support, Coms are unaware of any problem. (at least support don't know of any... mind you, they didn't know about the throttling so...)

That's the final straw for me. I was going to sit back and wait a while to see how the throttling would affect me (I usually d/l after midnight so according to the throttle times, it shouldn't affect me much) but this "outage" and supports... well non-existent really...
I guess I'm going to have to faff about and look for a new provider now. Looks like Xilo or Vivacity might be getting some business from me soon... I hope their support is a bit more clued up!

Down for me too. Can connect but no data. Anyone rung them?

Ditto here. Down since about midnight. I too changed from Coms' DNS to OpenDNS as Coms' wasn't working. I can access certain sites - like this forum - but the vast majority of everything else isn't connecting.

Yup, most sites dont work. Gonna ring coms and if they fob me off im going.

Maybe related but probably not - I've noticed that the times in the coms ticket system are borked. Says I submitted the ticked last night at 9.30, when I actually submitted it at 3.30am! Also seems to be stuck on 'waiting for customer response'.
The words 'brewery' 'in' 'a' and one that will be censored come to mind!
