Anyone else using BT broadband and having issues. Done a bit of investigating and looks like their DNS servers are not responding. Temporarily switched to OpenDNS and everything has sprung into life.

Is it just me? Seems unlikely.

 

Is it PotG?

Strange. Can't ping 81.139.57.100 at all. Added 208.67.222.222 to nameservers and all working now. Maybe I'm using old BT DNS servers and they've switched them off? Don't remember getting any notification.
