    I was using Vodafone for the past year with no problems.

    The Internet has slowed so so so much for me this evening. It wasn't working for the past hour and a half. Server site not responding it said or something like that.

    I turned off the phone and turned it back on again.
    I turn off data and back on again
    I turn on airplane mode and off again
    I removed sim car and put it in again
    I changed from 4g to 2g
    I banged the phone of the wall and I got some sort of signal to write this.

    Christ almighty I need to do a job tonight and finish my tesco shop but the Internet is gone to fcuking ****E. I'm actually very stressed.

    I booked a tesco shop by adding in some expensive bottles of spirits and now I need to go back and edit my shop into a normal food and grocery shop. If the Internet does not behave I am left with expensive bottles of brandy.

    This probably won't post. What can I do to fix this asap

    Might be a system outage. My Vodaphone broadband has been out for an hour and the helpline, 1907, is non responsive.

    It's DNS from the looks of things I'm currently posting this from a Vodafone connection , change your DNS to cloudflare or google and you're back in business.

    EDIT : Cloudflare sDNS is 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1

    How does one change their DNS settings on the HG659 router?
    I've logged in to the router admin page and while I can see the configured Primary and Secondary DNS settings, I can't change them.

    I've seen some people talk about 'Expert Mode' on their router but this doesn't seem to be available on my ****ty router.

    Any ideas?

    Do it in Home Network>> LAN Interface >> DHCP Server: select "Manually configure the DNS server for LAN devices" and key in the DNS servers
