Is there something wrong with the digital spy website at the moment.
(www.digitalspy.co.uk)

I cannot access it on both my home computers (wireless connection to Orange
livebox)

However, I can access it via GPRS on my mobile phone using Opera Mini.

I thought I had done something to my laptop but when I tried to access the
digital spy website via my desktop and it would not load either!!

What's going on and is anyone else having probs?

Tim

There's a note about it on Digital Spy itself:-

So Tim is going to have to read it on his mobile phone?

Or ...

Update Saturday - it now looks like this is a routing issue on the Orange
Broadband Network please complain to your ISP if you know someone having
a problem with this issue. This is unfortunately out of our control but
we are complaining as well on your behalf.

Ivor Jones over on uk.telecom.voip has an issue where he is unable to
use the Gradwell VoIP service, or view the Gradwell website via Orange
He hasn't got the Orange helpdesk droids to even comprehend the problem,
let alone elicit a solution.

Loads fine here.

But if you do insist on using a CRAP isp, what do you expect ?

We suspect this is a Routing or DNS issue as it is only affecting customers of
certain ISPs.

SURPRISE !

Of course you could do what I do and setup alternate DNS servers such as openDNS
as a fall-back

I am starting to come round to your way of thinking to be honest and may be
moving to another one.

Anyone got anything bad to say about Sky? (Opens can of worms!)

Not any more. IDNet surpassed them ages back. At the same or less money. And their
techs really know their stuff, something I've heard less well of w.r.t. Zen.

Seem to be OK but don't you have to take their TV too ?

What are your requirements like monthly downloads in GB ? And when do you use
the net most ?

Well we've just change two of our ADSL services to them and no
complaints thus far, 'tho a tricky tech question took a while to answer
but the same question put to others would have thrown 'em completely..

And best of all no fecking OFFSHORE call centre:!>))
