    It's either not loading or loading painfully slower. IGN, imageshack and photobucket are just some of the sites..

    Anyone else having this problem atm?

    I'm in Cork and I'm noticing this too. Some sites are timing out. You can get them to load if you keep trying, but it's inconsistent.

    Some sites wont load at all and others are painfully slow.

    are all the people having issues using the NTL DNS servers?

    try using opendns or level3 DNS servers instead and see if you have the same problems.

    thanks to the eircom DNS issues there are a squagillion threads on how to change your DNS servers and what to change them to, so I won't bore you all with another explanation here when you can do a quick search to find out, if you don't know how already. :)

    Open DNS 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220

    Using OpenDNS makes no difference. It must be a routing issue.

    Open DNS at least lets my PS3 connect to the network UPC DNS wont.

    However the network is not usable.


    Come on people lets bombard UPC with calls.

    Getting pretty fed up with UPC thinking of putting a stop on my bank.

    These people seem to be morons they wont even admit they have a problem.

    It they could put it their site that they are having major problems and that they are working on it I would not be so annoyed.

    UPC your becoming a joke just like Eircom.

    Having major issues as well, loads of sites I'd visit ordinarily just won't open. Playing games on the PSN isn't happening. I have to say I'm getting a little fed up myself. The last few weekends have seen outages of both our TV and BB service in the D7 area for hours at a time. Now add in the fact that loads of websites simply won't open. Grrrrrr.
