BBC News video content borked - on Plusnet only

jelv — Fri, 01 Jan 2016 13:50:13 GMT

Trying to view any videos on the BBC news website is failing (e.g. the weather forecast). Trying the exact same content via remote desktop to the office is working fine.
Anyone else seeing the same?

I've just tested watching a video on http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/features/35208025 this page from my work connection, and from my 4G mobile (Three network) connection and got the same error on both: This content doesn't seem to be working.
As it's doing the same from my three phone, it doesn't seem to be specific to Plusnet.

OK, I've just tried them again and they are working from both connections now 😕
And now it's working from the office line, but not my mobile.

Just tried swapping to use Google DNS to see if that made a difference as it could change the cdn - no difference.
(BTW the office is on exponential-e)

I tried the link on my PC browser and it timed out.
However while trying it on my EE mobile connection (which worked) my PC burst into life and played it in full.

It's looking a bit intermittent on BBC's side from what I can tell.

The BBC website and streaming was down for a few hours yesterday morning and I was having routing issues outwith the PN network earlier today. But as mentioned, all seem fine now.

I'm still getting intermittent errors. It comes up "This content doesn't seem to be working. Please try again later"

The BBC have admitted it was a DDOS, which isn't the same as a hack. I've just tested the videos and they work from both connections again.

I have found connecting to BBC iPlayer (on a NowTV box) hit and miss over the last couple of days. NowTV Entertainment channels catch-up via the same box have worked perfectly.
