I can only get on a couple of websites, one is Google and the other I came across by chance testing my Internet connection between checking/changing settings. These load up instantly, no other website will load at all......website found, waiting for reply.
How strange is that - couple of sites load normally everything else just fails to load altogether!!!

Discounted an issue with my PC (ran a laptop on the same adsl connection with exactly the same results) and my ISP are (apparently) on the case now but they say it will take 5 days to resolve??!! (I bet that excludes Sat and Sun) - by the way Orange have really rubbish support, only on the 3rd phone call to them did I get someone who appeared to have at least a little technical ability!
BT have checked the line and say it's ok but I'm not sure about that - tried my old dial-up connection via 56k modem and the best connection I could get was 14kbps.....always used to be 45+, too slow to use.

Anyone ever come across an odd situation like this?.........getting fed up already having to pop round to friends to check mail etc.
 
Are you sure the sites you can see are not cached versions?
Maybe internet in the west is being cleaned last few days. I had three days of troubles (Tiscali / Portishead) with ADSL going on and instantly off again today it if fine again.
 
Taken a week and I don't know how many phone calls to India but spoken to someone knowledgable for once yesterday - seems Orange have ballsed up and are in the process of having to get BT to set my connection again at the local exchange - may be another week before it's sorted!!!!!!!!!!

ORANGE Broadband..............RUBBISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
...................did I say.......



ORANGE are f**king RUBBISH!


...............still no Broadband, stuck with dial-up still.........soooooooo slow!!
 
Sorry about that bad language :)


...........but it's true!!!......they even messed up getting me a MAC code so I could move to another ISP :blast
At last back on ADSL, with BT now.
