Hello all,
On Friday 29th our broadband went down for most of the day with a red LED light on internet, we contacted Plusnet and they told me that they were moving a lot of people over to a new platform so it might be down and to check after midnight.
The broadband indeed did go back on after midnight, however, since then I can only loads certain websites.
For example, Facebook and Outlook.com work but websites like Netflix, Plusnet itself or Amazon will not.
My browser just says establishing connection and it never loads.
Plusnet told me to turn my router off last night from 10pm to 7am so they can perform a dial test. Not sure what they did but I've replied to my question to them to say nothing changed and still not had a response.
Anyone else experiencing this or know a solution?
Thanks.

Hi Nik3000, welcome to the forum.
There seem to be some strange issues cropping up from time to time as people are moved to the new Network. But what modem/router are you using?

Hi! Thank you,
The router is 2704n.
I will add that websites load when using a proxy website.

If you log into it at http://192.168.1.254 then what DNS is set on the >Advanced settings >DNS tab ?

For the websites which will not load, can you try pinging their URLs - please report back the URL and the resolved IP address please.
@Anotherone (below) yup equally useful if its a routing problem, rather than a name resolution problem. Was trying to take this in small steps!

It would make more sense to do a tracert IMHO.

Well those are quite correctly the Plusnet ones. Can you open a command prompt and do a tracert to one of the sites giving problems?

Well there's nothing wrong with that tracert at a glance. Hops 2 & 3 show the routers there don't have any rDNS entries, that's not an issue, and you are certainly on the new network.
Are you still having trouble getting it to load? Try clearing all your caches, see if that helps.
I don't know if @Townman has any other bright ideas?

I think this needs to be a matter of doing the ping / tracert at the time that the web browser cannot access the site.
We're looking to confirm a clean DNS resolution at the time of the connect failure. This issue has some characteristic of what we've seen elsewhere with a different router. That possibility needs to be eliminated - that problem has an intermittent profile and thus is not easy to profile.
@Nik3000 what OS are you using?

To be clear townman, I don't think you should muddy the waters with comparison to the issue you are thinking of.
However, this could be a failed DNS lookup and unless it persists even just for a short while, it'll be tricky to pin down without doing something like running Wireshark which is starting to get a bit hairy.
And I don't know if there's a version that will run on OSX.
Could try this from a Command Prompt or whatever the OSX equivalent commands are, when you are getting a problem, then after, substitute www.ocado.com for ntp.plus.net and do the same again.
ping 192.168.1.254
ping 8.8.8.8
nslookup ntp.plus.net
nslookup ntp.plus.net 192.168.1.254
nslookup ntp.plus.net 4.2.2.3
nslookup ntp.plus.net 212.159.6.9
nslookup ntp.plus.net ntp.plus.net
ping ntp.plus.net
ipconfig /flushdns
tracert ntp.plus.net
I have no idea if this can be made to work, can't test myself at the moment
pathping www.ocado.com -q 50 -T I think it will crash as hops 2 & 3 timeout.
HTH.

Think it got similar results for www.ocado.com.
Hope this helps, nothing has changed. Beginning to get really frustrating now being without proper internet for days!

That first ping is just checking the the modem/router is responding. There's probably little point in letting the pings run more than 4 results which is what they would stop at on a Windows OS.
I don't know the equivalent of nslookup on a MAC. I'd fire up your Windows machine. It would be interesting to see if you experience the same issue with www.ocado.com on your windows machine.
What Browser and version is it you are using by the way?
