Virgin Media Facebook DNS issues
What the hell is going on at Virgin Media?
2nd night in a row with issue connecting to Facebook, all other sites fine. Seems to be a Nationwide issue tonight.

Re: Virgin Media Facebook DNS issues
They said yesterday that it was a problem with an interconnect router.
It may be that the Cleaners needed the socket it was plugged into for their vacuum cleaner?

Re: Virgin Media Facebook DNS issues
this is from VM's status page for my area:
If youre having issues connecting to various external websites, Intermitant Access to website Facebook.com
We have identified the problem and an engineer is on their way.

Re: Virgin Media Facebook DNS issues
Intarwebz broken here too. I'm borderline frustrated at not being able to upload pics to either fb or instagram (not without a win8 phone and a dropbox account anyway).
It's the first problem I've encountered in the last year or so. It's always fun to watch twitter when fb falls down.

Re: Virgin Media Facebook DNS issues
I barely spend more than 5 mins a day on FB, so not really a great loss.
I havent noticed any issues at all this evening on other sites.

Re: Virgin Media Facebook DNS issues
... I didn't even notice anything. Was it DNS related?

Re: Virgin Media Facebook DNS issues
Can't access facebook tonight, I enabled Browsec in Firefox and its OK.
Its not DNS related as I changes the DNS to OpenDNS and it still wouldn't load.
