AOL Users: Can you access the BE Broadband site?

Options
www.bethere.co.uk

Friend of mine is on AOHell - no matter what he does he cant access www.bethere.co.uk - he's reported it to AOL and they said there was no problems on thier end

Any AOL users here who can test and see? If AOL are deliberatly blocking access to compeition websites, would that violate some sort of competition law?

    www.bethere.co.uk was one of the sites I could not access once moved to AOL new servers. Also had problems with onemorelevel.com and Quidco and other cashback sites.

    Quidco was fixed pretty quickly. I asked AOL about the others and they agreed there was a problem and hopefully sorted that weekend (couple of months ago).

    Just tried bethere and it was ok, but still can't access one more level

    e.g http://www.onemorelevel.com/game/ultranium_2

    I know it is AOL related as used to be able to access no problem and also can access with a dial up provider.

    7:37:22KevMWelcome to AOL Live Help, my name is Kev, I may be with other members at the moment, so please let me know your name, and state your query, and I will be with you right away
    17:37:52Yougetting 'page not found' for sites like www.bether.co.uk and www.onemorelevel.com. This only started happening last few weeks
    17:38:18Youcorrection - www.bethere.co.uk
    17:38:52KevMOK, hopefully we can sort this for you now, may I just check which modem/router you are using?
    17:39:05Youbt voyager 190 adsl modem
    17:39:52KevMOK, I shall look into this for you now, may I just ask how long this has been going on?
    17:41:00Youonly noticed these websites this week , but not accessed them for a while. Was having problems with quidco links a few weeks ago but this seems to have been sorted. Basically since your server moves
    17:42:02KevMOK, I will do a quick check on this for you now
    17:43:32KevMOK, I can see there is actually a known issue at the moment affecting access to certain sites, but the team working on this hope to have this resolved by the weekend
    17:44:02KevMI do apologise for any inconvenience this causes

    Can you access account management going via http://help.aol.co.uk/

    I noticed it says new online account management area, so was hopeful I could access account without going into AOL software, but getting message
    Bad Gateway

    The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
