Talkback
rather dismayed this morning to find the last update for this on the by status page is dated as of 2111hrs yesterday. obviously working through the night to fix doesn't involve keeping its customers up to date.
Although Telewest are stressing that this is affecting other ISP's as well, I cannot find anything on internet news pages relating to this, other than what has been reported here. Surely multiple-ISP outages would be making bigger news than this!
I agree with the last comment - no update almost 12 hours after the last information was issued. Telewest suggest ZoneLabs may be part of the issue, but seeing as this Firewall softwaresits on tens of thousands of internet users' PCs, and is vital for internet security, shouldn't Telewest be giving more information regarding this. I'm disappointed.
I can assure that NTL was Definatly hit as well, I couldn't get on all night. I have also seen some other suggestions that BTopenworld and freeserver were also affected.
Apparently it was due to the transatlantic TAT14 connection going down.
Well I could get onto US web sites if I used an IP address. Apparently it was a problem with DNS Servers. I also heard (albeit a rumour on irc) that it was a US Hacker competition part of which was to apply DOS attacks to UK ISP DNS Servers.
If either was true, it makes sense since I could access any web site with an IP address but when trying to resolve a hostname it would fail!
I'm on ntl: And the DNS problem was mentioned in their server status page.
Well my ISP (Bulldog) wasn't affected :-) But hey thats the problem with going with these big name ISPs...
10 pm new years eve when customers
with small children which could not go out
and join the festive spirit
they suffered a total loss of all digital tv
services which last into 2004
i pay nearly £90 a month and im disgusted
with telewests service these new digital
boxes suffer constant problems.
wil we get a rebate for these loss of services
my digital boxes are constantly freezing. Trying to report faults to Telewest is a nightmare. The service from Telewest is appalling compared to that I received from Birmingham Cable.
This is nothing compared to the outage they've had for the last 4-5 days! I'll use my Wanadoo email below...
Is this report about Blueyonder happening today or is is a report from 2003 please?
The date says today but headed
November 25, 2003, 17:50 BST
There is a problem with emails on Blueyonder now!
no point in emailing the answer.
This story is from 2003, but please tell us more about today's problems.....
Thanks
Graeme

Telewest slogan (cable if you can) i say cable don't or you will live to regret it
