Plusnet IP 146.200.192.xx
I'm having routing problems to a variety of internet sites. Other parts of the internet are fine, and I can't see a pattern. For example:
bt.com 193.113.9.164 unreachable
plus.net 212.159.9.2 unreachable
vodafone.co.uk 85.205.252.161 unreachable
virginmedia.com 213.105.9.24 ping 32ms
sky.com 90.216.128.5 unreachable
bbc.co.uk 151.101.0.81 pings 24ms
duckduckgo.com 176.34.155.23 unreachable
google.com 172.217.23.46 pings 25ms
mit.edu 23.66.16.128 pings 34ms
london.gov.uk 104.20.83.234 pings 48ms
theregister.co.uk 104.20.250.41 pings 24ms
johnlewis.co.uk 193.35.250.65 unreachable
rightmove.co.uk 80.64.55.7 unreachable
zoopla.co.uk 176.34.147.219 unreachable
apple.co.uk 17.172.224.108 unreachable
apple.com 17.142.150.59 unreachable
wanadoo.fr 193.252.122.103 ping 49ms
ovh.net 213.186.33.6 unreachable
berlin.de 5.39.246.37 unreachable
madrid.es 195.55.79.118 unreachable
dubai.ae 213.42.85.37 unreachable
comcast.com 69.252.80.75 ping 104ms
telstra.com.au 203.36.148.11 ping 311ms
My guess would be someone messed up their BGP tables? (Rather interestingly 146.200.0.0/16 is allocated from ARIN rather than RIPE, so it's US IP space)
I'm going to try rebooting the router and hope we get an IP in a different netblock, but it'll only pass the problem on to somebody else.
Edit: forgot say, it's been like this for a few days

He's posted the site name and IP address; the DNS lookup has worked which implies that it is NOT a DNS issue. Your suggestion is therefore irrelevant.

It's a PN router. But anyway, there's no problem in resolving addresses because all of those resolved just fine using the PN nameservers. The problem is that once you have an IP address half of them can't be pinged.
Turning the router off for half an hour got us an IP in a different netblock where the above sites are now routable again. But that just means somebody else is going to pick up our non-working IP instead.
