I was trying to use t'internet this morning and the only pages I could access were google and bits of the BBC. Pretty much anything else threw INSTANT network errors (not your usual unavailable or not found errors!). Anyone else?

Yes, same at my place. I did call Homechoice that said that it is a problem with all US based internet providers and therefore all the American websites are down (that's why BBC and Google UK were working), apparently it's all sorted now...

Indeed, it wasn't a dns issue, just that homechoice's routing to the other side of the pond was a bit b0rked.

Homechoice use Level 3 for most of their connectivity still, they are their sole transit provider.

For a few scarey minutes I did start to wonder if they'd plumbed us into Tiscalis network :-S

I can't view about 30% of sites at the moment - both UK and US (mainly US) - been down for the past three hours. Anyone else having similar problems?

(doesn't seem to be a DNS problem though - think it's routing - as if I change the DNS servers to something else the problem doesn't go away)
