Lots of routing issues today.

A lot of people are experiencing problems across various websites in the UK. I have experienced slow downs and other problems. So yes something is up with a lot of backhauls.
I don't know the reason for this but I know a lot of experiencing problems tonight so don't think your troubles are unique.
Just wanted to put this message out and not in network & connectivity as hardly anyone bothers to go in it when they are having problems.

SOPA might have something to do with it, lots of big websites like wiki are taking action by blacking out

I am having issues, can't even open the AAT homepage for some reason.

I'm actually having chew with some websites and thought it was just me.

Can't get on speedtest or imgur.

Tried uploading a new signature to imgur as my current one isn't loading and now I know why.

Having to tether through my 3 mobile connection!

msn seems to have stopped working for me with a mix results from different websites i use some are up some are down. on virgin if that helps wonder if its related to a ISP ro something.

quickshot89 · 17 Jan 2012 at 18:04

i should have added im on VM too, so could be on their end...

On Virgin here and can't get to a single Microsoft service, Hotmail, Xbox Live, MSN, even MSE won't update. Everything else seems to be working fine.

vm 50mb here, got same problem at the mo

CaptainUnlikely · 17 Jan 2012 at 18:08

Intermittent issues here with VM. Thought it was solved earlier but it's not - roughly 1/3 of the websites I usually access are down for me, 1/3 are intermittent, and 1/3 are fine.
MSN messenger is working fine for me niroe, but MSE won't update.

niroe · 17 Jan 2012 at 18:09

Why did I open my mouth, having major issues now, almost nothing will load, these forums & Google being the exception!

dandan556 · 17 Jan 2012 at 18:09

VM 50mb here too, eBay, Paypal and a few others down too

ThundyCat · 17 Jan 2012 at 18:09

Same here.

RomanNose · 17 Jan 2012 at 18:09

I am on VM as well, I don't know if it just a VM issue.

wesley · 17 Jan 2012 at 18:12

i think vm is having problem with DNS, i am using openDNS now and everything is working

gothic_hobbit · 17 Jan 2012 at 18:14

Is hotmail down for anyone else ?

Dave85 · 17 Jan 2012 at 18:15

Using googles dns and on virgin media same problems as everyone else. Msn down and cant load netflix or other sites

Rroff · 17 Jan 2012 at 18:15

Don't think its just a VM issue - atleast I seem to be being affected by it on BT - several sites are very slow to load and getting the odd disconnection from certain services - tho nothing as bad as people on VM are reporting. (Unless its just due to lots of VM users losing connection and reconnecting to stuff at the same time causing mini DOS effect).
