Anybody else having internet issues today?
Discussion
For the last 5 or 6 hours I've been having real issues with pages coming up "not found" almost immediately, or timing out.
Not just PH either, google and lots of other sites too. Router has been rebooted, no issues according to Demon. My dad had brief outage earlier on demon but in a different part of the country... Wife has similar issues on her laptop too, so not the PC.

Disruption due to the severing of some backbone cables feeding the MidEast and N.Africa?
Yeh, what is that all about? We had an email at work about our internal links to the Emirates being down indefinatly.ETA - my BT broadband was stuffed earlier this evening.

There is a major undersea cable out between europe/middle east/Asia so alternate routes are being used. This could mean saturated links at Internet Exchange points around the world causing a less than optimal browsing experience to parts of the internet. (the internet in general, more than likely not affecting PH or UK traffic) If you've had trouble speaking with a Indian call centre at all today that'll be why.
I do know BT have been having problems over the last few days at a few of their UK broadband aggregation sites. But I thought they had fixed it in the early hours of this morning.
I blame the cold front coming in from Siberia

I laughed, then stopped laughing and got genuinely scared when I thought about that happening to me

It's unlikely to be indefinitely, but there will be some mega latency on the backup connections between Emirates and Europe, which i believe is still satellite
Glad it's not just me. I am used to the fact that I can go and make a cup of tea while PH loads a page, but it's all the timeouts and not founds from other sites that's odd.
Weather was atrocious down here in SE London/Kent earlier - horizontal rain and lots of wind, but sounds quiet out there now...

It seems from the article below that a large amount of the traffic is being re routed through the US/UK I do know BT have been having problems over the last few days at a few of their UK broadband aggregation sites. But I thought they had fixed it in the early hours of this morning.

which could explain the problems.

My broadband just collapsed for half an hour or so, and I just heard on the news that ferries are being cancelled on the Irish Sea, that trucks have been blown over on the roads. If this is connected with the weather, looks like it won't end any time soon.
Hi Frik - My life pie-chart went from gigantic slice of PH to non-existant slice of PH for a bit there - good to be back with you funny guys.
