Cannot connect to specific domain

[#1]

Cannot connect to vodafone.co.uk for last few days. Isitdownrightnow.com reports no problems
This affects every device currently connected to my router
I've changed to PlusNet's DNS server (- I usually use OpenDNS) , flushed windows DNS cache, checked for blocks on netgear parental controls and on router itself and tried to use Vodafone IP address (85.205.252.161), restarted modem/router............ all to no avail.
Is it just me? or plusnet?
Anyone reading this can you try on your PN connection and report back...........Ta

[#2]

Works ok for me....as does the IP.

[#3]

Thanks...................must be me .....very odd!

[#4]

Just swopped to the PN supplied router and same problem ..............on all devices in network , on all browsers..............

[#5]

Can you carry out a traceroute?

[#6]

Yep --just tried that .............getting continual  "request timed out"

[#7]

Can you copy and paste the results?

I can access it fine and my traceroute stops at the same place.
It's unlikely to be us as we'd see more reports of it.

[#10]

OK Thanks for your help...................Just started to be able to connect to some sub-domains.....eg    forum.vodafone.co.uk and support .vodafone.co.uk.....although slow and incomplete and main domain still times out.
We'll see how it goes

[#11]

Funny you should mention that.
I've been unable to access the National Lottery website for years on PN. Absolutely fine on any other connection. This includes my mobile phone: if I try connecting over my PN line with WiFi it fails, but as soon as I turn WiFi off it works fine.
PN also claim nothing wrong but clearly there is a fault that nobody can identify.

[#12]

Well I've still got no further ........same problem 5 days in .
This will cause big problems where everyone in the house uses vodafone as their mobile provider

[#13]

Just noticed that I now seem to have a static ip address(......which I did not ask for - Is this now standard for Unlimited Fibre Extra?)
Wondering if this was removed...........would it make adifference?

[#14]

OK Just had the static ip address removed...............success
It's just possible that vodafone had blocked us due to postings placed on one of their forums deriding their dodgy service

[#15]

Interesting I haven't seen that happen before but glad to hear it's been sorted.
