Can anyone logon to the BBC website?; I can't, and it is the only website I cannot get onto.

Sorry for posting in the News forum, but I couldn't think of anyhere else to post it. If it is affecting others, then maybe it will be news after all.

Network access the the BBC down for me.

The BBC news ticker started printing out "Massive spaceships appearing over London, New York, Beijing, Dehli and Cambridge - aliens demand the handover of George Monbiot for summary treatment by the Culture Special Circumstances division who have been hunting him for years as he is a galactic-class cu..." ... and then it went dead.

Odd, that.

They leant too far to the left and fell over.

Thank you commander; it still doesn't work. I'm with Virgin, and they are reporting on their website that they have DNS issues affecting our area. The odd thing is that it is only the entire BBC domain that is affected.

I too am on VM, and everything's working fine here. I'm on their cable network, though, not ADSL.

What's this Commander?




It only comes up if I look at your profile (I was looking to see what area you were in) I doesn't happen on anyone elses profile.

It's one of the BTAP banners hosted on S1's site. He's farked it up again. Happens from time to time.

Is the BBC website down?

Probably.

We don't have a Labour Government, so the whole of Wood Lane is on valium.
