Yup it's broke.

It’s weird, like yesterday YouTube and twitch working fine (apart from chat) and many sites not loading.

What kind of break is that

My Internet has just come back up and working again

It's their DNS server (at least that's what the problem is right this minute). I changed mine to 9.9.9.9 as a temporary workaround.

It is working for me my end but goodness knows for how long.

robfosters · 4 Apr 2023 at 17:00

Back for me too

ED209 · 4 Apr 2023 at 17:03

Spoke too soon, down again

robfosters · 4 Apr 2023 at 17:06

Still up here

Teaf · 4 Apr 2023 at 17:08

Mines still down although it's changed what I can access, suddenly ocuk doesn't work (using my 4G at the minute for this post) and discord no longer works, but I can suddenly use GitHub and twitch chat is working.

No idea what is going on at VM

Cob · 4 Apr 2023 at 17:08

YouTube and OcUk are working. Reddit and a lot of others aren’t.

It's like a flip the coin on what you can view - bet their NOC is stressed AF today.

Ironically the Twitter website won’t load.

It's off for me and has been a bit poor all day. It was down this morning too. Handy as I'm WFH today.

Our VM circuits died again around 16:20, been fine most of the day otherwise, and the hub at home won't even get a configuration sync

Have VM released any actual information on the outages other than "Whoops, it's down"?

To release information they’d have to know what’s broken lol

I cant load the service status page on my mobile.

A lot of the outages seem to have hit their stuff too, heard they have internal outages as well.

Likely because they host their service status page from within their main website. A competent company would host a service status page on a 100% separate system that remains up during outages.

Affected me in the north east too. Was off this morning then it was most sites wont load for a hour or two then a bit more normal but its gone back to sites not loading much for the past hour.

Hope they fix it. Wonder if we get a free day compo out of it.
