usenet is okay, and I have a torrent running quite happily, so I know
the connection's alright.
Anyone got any ideas?

You're on NTL what do you expect ??
You could reconfigure your DNS to point to 158.152.1.43, it's run by DIS and
AFAIK it's still publically accessible.

I'm having this occasionally on Nildram. A refresh and it normally works.

I was getting this earlier today (NTL BB) with certain sites (but not the
BBC one! Ah, might depend /which/ BBC server you were trying to get),
and also NTL's 'transparent' proxy servers refused to see certain sites.

It may have been NTL's DNS servers, but since I found it with other
sites as well it's more likely to have been somewhere upstream. I know
a friend on a Pipex ADSL feed who had routing problems today as well.
I regularly have to reconfigure with a different http proxy. I have two
other backup DNS servers in my configuration (private ones, I'm afraid,
so I can't pass them on) to cope with this.

NTL's had a major server outage that's affected ALL internet access,
ftp, email and news
It's on their status page dated 4pm this afternoon

On another NG, someone mentioned a big pipeline between the US and UK
is down, so if NTL are using that, you may have lost a lot of US-based
sites until it;s fixed.

Continuous good service like I've had for the last 14 months perhaps?

Not an urgent issue. Thanks for the tip, though - if it's still
knackered tomorrow I'll give it a go. Appreciated.
There was a failure on one of the main transatlantic cables (TAT-14) which
carries a lot of US/Europe traffic at about 4PM so I guess your issue is
very likely related and probably causing many transit providers a fair
number of problems.
The cable is implemented as a redundant ring with independently routed
northern and southern transatlantic legs, the northern leg just failed.
Sadly the southern leg apparently failed earlier in the month and hasn't
been repaired yet :-(

Mine seems to be back up now if it's any help
I had loads of probs yesterday night. No e-mail then no IE access at all
then no claranews. In the end all I could get was MSN (Very Slow) and I
could use Kazaa...
Like you say connection was there, but not much else... :(
