I'm having severe DNS problems here in the ST6 area of Stoke.

Re: Dns issues in ST6

Have you tried switching to the openDNS servers?

208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

The server status line is now saying that the Stoke area has browsing problems.

Re: Dns issues in ST6

I am in ST6 area, seem to be able to browse ok. But having trouble downloading. Started last night around midnight. Modem was only giving me less then one meg down when i should get 4!!!! swaped connection back to set top box and got 4meg no problem. Around midnight downloads just stopped and internet was dead. Now browsing ok, but downloads are miserable.

Re: Dns issues in ST6

Having the same problems here in ST6. Been like this since about 4pm. Slowly coming back now and i can finally access this site again. Most sites still unavailable though.

edit: Those opendns servers don't work.

edit: The only site i seemingly can't access now is the VM homepage. Oh well, no loss to me.
