Story: Telewest users suffer network blues

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.
