212.159.13.49 as well. Cut me off in middle of Fifa final! Sort it out Plusnet

[#3]

Google down...BT down...Twitter down...Plusnet up. No mention of it on site.
That'll be the no nighttime support cock-up we all predicted.

[#4]

yep I had a nights gaming planned which is now gone, only here and youtube works, everything else fails to load
iplayer
twitter
warframe.com
etc etc
edit: forgot to say I have tried using opendns servers only with no change

[#5]

Notified business support.

[#6]

Everything went DOWN!!!!

[#7]

Not true.  This looks like a routing issue.
Google.co.uk is not accessible
Plus.google.com is accessible
Might well be out with PlusNET.

Must admit it's a tad inconvenient for me too... i'e had to activate my usb wifi adapter for the first time in six months and connect to my mobile 

[#9]

Glad its not only me then   not a lot loading, may as well go to bed   Just tried my iPhone on o2's without wifi connected and everything connects with 3g 

[#10]

Great. I thought it was an issue at my end and there for tried everything I could think of relating to my router, browsers, network adapter and even going to the last resort of a system restore.
Which of course, somehow ended up making things worse when it received an error and now I have to manually go into task manager, end the explorer executable process and then run it again to see the desktop.
Not a great start tonight I have to say.

yeah i'm gonna hit the sack now too.. .pesky internet lol.
3G is cool when it works, 4G is alarmingly quick.. but they're so intermittent sometimes when you need them to work the most. 3G is blazingly fast compared to 56k and i can happily live with it but its not the most reliable way to connect..

Why on earth would you do that for an internet failure? - you're creating trouble for yourself by poking at shadows. If a router restart doesn't fix it then it's an issue further up the line. Stop tinkering with everything else or you'll make your situation worse!

I started to have the same issue about an hour ago, switch to Google DNS servers and its been fine since.

[#14]

Getting the exact same thing, loads of sites like Google. BBC and the like won't open.  Tried switching to Google DNS but it's still the same.

Been having broadband trouble for several hours. Some sites load, others don't. It's even worse on my wifi enabled devices. Rebooted the router and it helped a little but not much. Changed DNS but no joy. Guess we'll just have to wait it out.
