Problems with Virgin Media broadband

darwin-rover

Anyone in the Belfast area having browsing problems with certain sites (eg. eBay.co.uk , amazon.com , apple.com , parkers.co.uk etc.)? I have Virgin Media cable BB by the way .
A few people in Belfast have reported the same problems on other sites .
If you do could you report to CS , either by phone , newsgroups or email . Thank you .

Issues for the last two days, bugged the life out of me because I thought it was my laptop at first so I spent ages digging to find out if i had somehow picked up something that was doing no good in my system.

thanks for letting me know it wasn't just me.

Could this be the fabled 10mb upgrade for Broadband L users!

Nothing to do with the upgrade for 4mb users or bandwith capping .
Only appears to be affecting Belfast at the mo. (?)
Some sites won't load , most others appear fine
On the newsgroups they suggested using a proxy TEMPORARILY - it is webcache.blueyonder.co.uk port 8080 and this will solve most problems .
