120M : Certain websites not loading?

[tweetiepooh]

Routing can be fun and hard to diagnose. I once had a problem where I could get to www.company.com but not to support.company.com. These had different IP addresses (consecutive) and resolved OK. But one traced nicely to the site the other went all round the houses and didn't get there or rather it did sort of. Turns out that it tried to route back the "best" way but that was different to the forward so packets got dropped.

I think the issue was at the peering points where VM joins the big bad world outside not directly with VM itself.

Has anything improved for you Green173?

Just returned home from a couple days away with work, and it seems to have fixed itself. Can access websites such as the BBC now, and haven't encountered any issues.

Finally, back to normal !!
