news.bbc.co.uk

I'm on O2 ADSL.

Everything else is fine, but I can't connect to news.bbc.co.uk, nor get
a ping response. Is anyone else seeing this?

Fine here. (Claranet)

Watching bbc election news..

BBC servers don't respond to pings IIRC.

Try a traceroute (Tracert on windoze)

Thanks for the replies.

Following the results, I can now access the site again!

I'll just assume something was flooded somewhere, whether it be true or
not. :-D

gordon @ yakko: ping -c10 -q news.bbc.co.uk
PING newswww.bbc.net.uk (212.58.226.79) 56(84) bytes of data.

But note the differnet IP address - you'll get a different IP address
depending on where you are and possibly even what ISP you're using.
