Is anyone having problems accessing some sites (google, BBC News and others)?
I am with BT Infinity and a speedcheck is giving me good down and up results.

I have infinity and Google & BBC News sites are working here.

Tried some other DNS settings (currently on auto) but didn't seem to help.
BBMax is working here, maybe a routing issue. Have you tried a tracert to see if there is an issue with one of the hops?

Anyway, I will have to leave it for now as our meal is almost ready.
Have tried Tracert, but don't know what the results mean:
I am getting similar problems accessing things from my iPhone via the same WiFi route.
I have rebooted my Home Hub and the BT Modem with a power down/up cycle.
The PC was powered off overnight.
I have tried another browser (normally Firefox but tried IE).
I am baffled. I might be less so if it were all sites which were failing, but it is the way it is just some.
Even on DS Forums it often hangs for a while on "Connecting to abc.hearst.co.uk".
Heading out shortly so I've not tried the router reset yet (also downloaded Firefox 20 yesterday but that was working fine last night), so might try that this afternoon if things haven't improved.
Quite a few sites (including this one at times) very slow and others (including google.co.uk) timing out before they can get there.
Service status not yet updated, so maybe it was quite recent.
Thought it was just problems on my end.
If the issues were related to thefts then perhaps we were encountering a routing problem?
What they say as a standard heading is This is all on the BT Service Status page.
