Virginmedia - addlestone / greater london area


[link to this post] 		 
For some reason I cannot access lots of websites such as wikipedia, abebooks etc

I cannot even log into the virginmedia forum to ask there

I know they are working as they work on my mobile via 3g

This is on virginmedia, I think on the addlestone network.

I tried open dns and it made no difference.

The service status shows no issues. Its the same on all pcs and all browsers.

Anybody have any idea what's going on

I have the same issue.

I cannot connect to cableforum.co.uk, either by name or IP address. Same goes for other sites (though Wikipedia is working OK for me).

I've noticed that a reverse DNS lookup back to me shows me having a 'croy.cable.virginmedia.com' suffix (I'm in Crawley). I don't recall seeing that before.

Exact same problems here in North London.

Where I am is basically 30 seconds from the m25, so similar area.

Just an engineer told me the connections routed via Addlestone a while back.

Cannot get on cableforum either.

Quite annoying, we had a few issues over the summer too.

Exact same issue here in Wandsworth (slamb)
Half the www is fine, half is caput.

I think the problem is a little more widespread. My connection is from Gateshead and I'm having the same trouble.

Same here. Web very slow, some sites not working. Looks like a national problem.

Virginmedia told me there is a 'good service' on all of my services. Shows how much they know. & yes it's looking much more widespread.

Same problem here in Farnborough, OpenDNS doesn't help either, must be a national issue with VM.
