Internet connection problems

Anyone else having problems today?
My connection has been up & down all day. I can access the Plusnet site & forums, but not the rest of the internet. I've tried changing the DNS settings in my router, and I've tried a spare router...
The routers don't seem to drop the connection when the web is inaccessible.
Any known problems? My exchange is not shown as having any issues either.

Re: Internet connection problems

Yes, I have had a lot of problems today. My router was using the Plusnet DNS servers and while I was browsing and checking email it all went wrong (the router reported it could no longer connect to either DNS server). I had to switch to OpenDNS and reboot my router to get things working again.
I had been connected to pcl-ag01 when DNS stopped working. Now I am connected to pte-ag2 and things are OK ... but it has only been a few minutes so far.

Re: Internet connection problems

Sounds familiar - I tried Opendns too and it made no difference.
Currently all OK (connected to pcl-ag03)....

Re: Internet connection problems

We're just gone to "Amer" traffic management mode because of the insane amounts of traffic coming through iPlayer currently - over 2Gbps.
We expect things to improve around 6-7pm tonight once the match has finished.

Re: Internet connection problems

mine was very lumpy this morning, could get the Forum OK, but a lot of others were taking 30-40 seconds to load, later about 16:00 only 2 to 4
