Hi all, since few minutes the google public DNS server 8.8.8.8 is not reachable anymore from BT Broadband in UK, neither by ping nor by name resolution. 
Not sure, if there is a problem with the server or is it a routing issue?

Traceroute seems not to leave the BT network:

Tracing route to dns.google [8.8.8.8]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

Any ideas?

We're showing normal incoming traffic levels in that region, so I suspect it's a small scale issue with one ISP.  You should talk to your ISP (BT?) about connectivity issues.
