Plus Net Servers

Today next to nothing has connected quickly. As an example:
Tracing route to hp-intl-uk.ebay.com [66.135.200.146]

over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 192.168.0.1
2 37 ms 35 ms 35 ms lo0.plusnet.thn-ag1.plus.net [195.166.128.101]
3 * 3987 ms 37 ms vl703.thn-gw1.plus.net [84.92.4.241]
4 40 ms 37 ms 38 ms ldn-b4-link.telia.net [213.248.84.201]
5 35 ms 36 ms 37 ms 62.156.138.53
6 178 ms 179 ms 181 ms 217.239.40.102

Could somebody explain what the problem is as I am having difficulty accessing well known banks and other financial sites too.

(I just do not believe it....!)

DNS problem - switch to OpenDNS http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,7574...

TVM - but are these things not being monitored? It seems to me to be a fairly regular occurance not just something that has happened today.

Just one of those things I think some isp's servers don't work at all and customers have to use opendns

Will that fix email and voip?

"Just one of those things"

FFS this is not Tiscali (is it?). I can't even access OpenDNS either...

(becoming more irritated by the minute)

I'll take a bet on it this info is what you're trying to access:

Open DNS

208.67.222.222

208.67.220.220

Like you, I could not access the info when I needed it (Catch 22), so I've written it down now.

Not sure if it was a directly Plusnet thing - I use OpenDNS already & was getting some sites (www.bbc.co.uk for one) just not loading at times, while other sites seemed unaffected.

I've been have been seeing more and more site not loading inc tbb and the bbc ...

I am getting intermittent loss of connectivity now. Messenger keeps showing as signed-out, and websites on auto-refresh mysteriously lose the data.
