    Attacks seem to be coming thick and fast everywhere...

    I'm using Google DNS, and that seems to give me partial connectivity as a Nova customer.

    An internet provider who has been smacked and taken offline due to a DDOS attack? I would switch provider if mine didn't have adequate security to prevent a DDOS attack, its not like its a single server which is effected by a DDOS attack, its an internet provider, that looks really bad

    They're an excellent ISP. I won't be switching over this any time soon

    This has been widespread for the last week - just not made public because it does not have the same damage as the HSE.
    There have been lots of ISP's and Hosting providers both big and small affected.

    So you don't know how DDOS can block even the biggest providers..
