Be there problems

Peve · 15 Oct 2010 at 14:46

Anyone else having problems with BE? I can't connect to any sites.

Dns has gone. Modem syncs but nothing resolves.

The Be There site was having problems earlier, couldn't do any postcode checks...

Look on their support forums, they've acknowledged the issue and are trying to sort it.

Or just use bluetooth to tether your phone until it's fixed?

benftl · 15 Oct 2010 at 15:16

Doesn't affect me, I'm on Virgin

I'm just saying if you're a Be user it's probably better to check the official Be forums than here.

Couldn't you just use OpenDNS then?

"Dear Members,

In the meantime we appreciate your patience and understanding.

Same with O2 of course.

BBC for example is impossible to get hold of.

edit: Things are looking better now

yup, my net is pathetic at the moment, can barely get anything, not working internet is pretty rare with Bethere, but me no likey.

Seems all ok at my location now :-)

Use openDNS, much better IMO

My router has the ability to take 4 DNS addresses so I tent to use openDNS as primary and secondary and BE DNS servers as 3rd and 4th.

Always "be" prepared

Peering =/= dns. The dns server you use is irrelevant if you are not able to establish a connection to it.

Anyway, they fixed it
