Can't access Plusnet sites (Hopefully resolved)

Here's an odd one.
I can't access any plusnet sites using my Plusnet connection.
I can access anything else like Facebook and Twitter.
If I use my phone on my wifi I have the same problem but if I switch it to T-Mobile it works fine.
I am currently using my phone tethered to my tablet to type this.
Why is Plusnet blocking me from Plusnet?

Re: Can't access Plusnet sites

maybe it's BT blocking them? Cheesy
if it is then i guess it's tough luck as that seems to be the answer for any other site that gets blocked.

Which sites are not working? Got a trace route?

Re: Can't access Plusnet sites

I am really confused by this, there is absolutely nothing I can see that would cause this. I've not seen anyone else reporting this today either.
I'm assuming you've not made any changes to the router settings?
Can you browse to them by IP?

Slightly different route - I don't know if that is significant

Re: Can't access Plusnet sites

Browsing by IP fails.
No changes to router settings.
Only thing I did today was delete a few files on my webspace.

Re: Can't access Plusnet sites

When I break something it stays broken  Cry
I can try a different route in a bit.

Re: Can't access Plusnet sites

Tried my old and trusty Netgear DG834 and the problem remains.
Is it time to raise my first ever fault ticket or shall I leave it in the capable hands of the DC team.

Re: Can't access Plusnet sites

Have you had any update(s) to your Firewall & or AV prior to the issue rearing its not so pretty head ?Huh
I can remember an update from my AV blocked all access to my website and all site on that domain last year and had to contact my host to confirm and conflab with Avast

Re: Can't access Plusnet sites

Anything connected to my broadband shows the same problem and using a different router shows the same problem.
By a process of elimination the problem has to be external to my gear.

Re: Can't access Plusnet sites

When you connected to the webspace did it drop the FTP connection at all?  Or did you by chance enter the password incorrectly when connecting to the webspace?
