I have no broadband connection either.
Nothing on the status telephone line or the status web page.
Line goes dead when I try to report the problem.

No problem connecting to Demon, but DNS are not always resolving
promptly (and sometimes not at all on first attempt).

Quick screenshot of trying to download ls-lR from Demon's FTP server.

Overall download speed ~4.9mbps.
Appears something is awry.

I'm not anti google, but you have to ask yourself what they may be
recording from the traffic passing through their DNS servers? They
have some "interesting" T's & C's in regards to other services they
provide, Gmail being one..
There's always OpenDNS too of course.

According to flure, my host was "down" (ie unpingable) between 6:14 and
9:29. By great good fortune, I sat down at my PC this morning at about
9:35.

This figures.
I had a quick look at 0700 and the service was very erratic- some things
were happening instantly, some not. Address resolution was a sometime
thing but often failing, then succeeding a short while later.
At 1000 it was all flying again- still is...

Yep. Connections stopped getting anywhere, and existing connections
started timing out at about 06:15 this morning. ADSL itself seemed fine,
but nothing useful actually worked. Useful connections resumed about
09:40-ish. Demon Status reports no problems, of course...

We saw similar problems between ~0630 and 0930 this morning, but I don't
think things are /quite/ fixed yet - there have been intermittent
problems with some major websites not resolving / not replying to TCP SYN
(Yahoo, Royal Mail, parts of Multimap), and also I've seen a few messages
from one of our fetchmail daemons along the lines of 'Read from socket
failed: Connection reset by peer'. All are problems that we don't usually
expect to see.
The overall impression is that something within Demon/Thus/C&W is still
being prodded, with slightly random results.
I note that status@gate is now admitting to problems with 'broadband'.

It eventually did at 9.30, but rather a long time after the problem
started.

Broadband completely dead this morning. Now, occasional short bursts,
then dead again.

As google is an advertising company at heart or at least that is how it
makes money it will be using the dns data to sell things .

Yes - it didn't :(
Tried reboot of PC, then of router. Gave up and did some gardening
instead - it's Last Green Bin Day on Monday.
Seems OK now.

Yup. And in a further message it also says they've fixed it. I hope what
they fixed was what I was seeing (or not).

<cynic>Perhaps that's when they realised someone had pulled the plug
out...
A pity they didn't get Status saying something useful about it fairly
soon after it was reported, if only to save on help desk phone calls.

only been skimming - Microsoft's implementation of DNS has recently been
having problems:
...since the hotfix KB953419 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953419 has
been applied which takes the file version from 4460 to 4537 this can
cause a 100% CPU condition in the DNS service.
A newer hotfix released under KB975830
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/975830/en-us for memory leak issues
taking the version to 4592 (latest version) does not help with the hang
problem. The developers at Microsoft have confirmed that they are aware
of this and are currently working on a fix which is due to be released
at the end of February 2010 after completion of testing.

Blimey! As long as that? I hope that their response to security issues
is rather quicker.

This hotfix says it only applies to Windows Server 2003 SP1 and SP2.
Indeed it explicitly warned me that it didn't apply to XP.
