I have always been able to access National Lottery but since the weekend it's been virtually unobtainable. I know they had problems on Saturday/Sunday with the record draw etc but nothing since then.
If I use my phone whilst connected to my wifi It times out but as soon as I switch off wifi on my phone & use my own phone's data then I can access it straight away, so it's definitely a Plusnet/router problem?
I've tried it on Chrome, Firefox & Internet Explorer all with no joy - tried turning my router on & off numerous times but no joy. Help!

It affects any device connected to my P/N connection, desktop/laptop/iPad/mobile phones. Obviously all with different operating systems/browsers etc.
if the iPad & mobiles are connected to their relative mobile networks the NL site loads ok.
Saying that, any similar sites related to gambling/betting etc are not affected using the P/N connection. Only N/L.
Also it was working ok yesterday & this suddenly happened today. I have not changed any settings at all.
The only thing that might of changed is my P/N ip address, I can't change the ip address away from the 143.159.xxx.xx group though, however many times I disconnect & reconnect the router.
@whitehall,
Sounds exactly the same as me then! Reckon it's a P/N network issue.
Is your ip address in the 143.159 group same as mine?
Saying all that I had an email from The N/L tonight say there may be more problems this weekend due to demand.

Yep - my IP is 143.159.xxx.xxx. And I also just got that email 5 mins ago from NL!
Guess I'll have to use my mobile internet to buy my tickets for now......

Quote from: Bob Those on dynamic IP's who have been moved to the new network probably won't be able to get away from the 143 IP's at the moment. We're aware of the National Lottery issue though and we're looking into it. Not sure if it's actually anything to do with the new network mind you.
What is this new network?
Seems ironic that @whitehall is also on 143.159 group as well & having the same problems!
Glad the problem has been acknowledged by P/N though, connected with the new network or not..

I connected my mobile phone to a friend's wireless network last night, he is on Virgin Media, & the lottery website worked straight away no problem.
Now back home I cannot access it again on my Plusnet connection with any of my devices.
Unfortunately it seems I am on this so called new network & cannot get off the 143.159 ip address range however many times I disconnect & re-connect.
I hope P/N sort this out by the weekend, it is totally wrong that I have to use my precious mobile data to access the Lottery website when I am paying P/N for the privilege.
We can all but hope, miracles do happen!
As an aside it seems my download speed/ip profile has been slashed by 6-7 meg as well, bet this is to do with the wonderful "new network" as well.
More of this later.

You must be one of the lucky ones who hasn't been shoved on to this so called "new network" where you always default to 143.159. etc ip addresses whatever you do.
Needless to say it's still not working so again having to use precious mobile data,
My only option is is to contact Camelot directly & inform them of the situation. See if they can force P/N's hand to sort it.
They have already told me it must be an isp issue.
Failing that there is always Offcom.
Even a member of P/N's staff has admitted on here they cannot access the Lottery website, so what gives?

The reason none of it affects me is that I signed up for a static IP not long after I joined PN .

Quote from: hooverman I to have tried logging into the national lottery site which failed to load having read this item on plusnet and checked my ip address I find its starts with 146 an Californian ip address SO PLUSNET SORT IT OUT ,how did I and others get these addresses
Put bluntly, because they belong to us and they make up the pool of addresses that we assign to customers with dynamic IP's. Whlst the IP's are registered to a company in the States, they are geo-located in the United Kingdom. There's plenty of information about this over in the thread here if you've a spare thirty minutes or so

For the sake of clarity, we have customers on the new network who are assigned static IP's outside of these ranges. It is true that some of you on dynamic IP's will be unable to get away from them at present though.

The National Lottery, and the geolocation provider they use have been contacted plenty of times before (you'll see reference to this in the other thread I linked to above). In fact, this issue with the site hasn't been seen until recently, and it has been possible to log into the National Lottery site before now when assigned an IP from one of these ranges.
Something must have changed recently and we're looking into it as per my post here.
