    I'm with BT, I've had connection problems since last night. At the moment I can connect to FB, MSE but when I try to connect to Ebay it's telling me I'm not connected to the Internet (when I clearly am). Anyone else getting this message? I'm using safari.

    Had just come on here to see if anyone had any ideas - I assumed it was my 4 year old who was watching Scooby Do on my laptop last night! I am also with BT, can't load Hotmail and amazon, nor can I get to my work e-mail (shame!), as well as other prominent sites. Facebook is fine. Have shut down the computer to see if that helped - didn't. Also tried Chrome and IE - no difference. Sigh.

    I did all of that - apart from blaming your 4 year old - and got the same results. :(

    This should only have affected people using BT Broadband services as their DNS Server was down for some time.

    It's been back up for a while and seems to be working well at the moment, so hopefully your problems are over.

    You should have tried changing the DNS.
