    Google and about half of the internet has been down for the last 3 hours for me. Struggling to get any work done.

    Anybody else having problems? I'm on BT.

    Why would spyware block google.co.uk and let google.com work fine?

    Seems like a DNS issue (with BT) to me.

    NTL (Virgin) here and all is well at the moment.

    However, I did have some issues last week with the proxys in the settings. I contacted NTL and they gave me a temporary prioxy to enter.

    You could try this with BT.

    Not sure if this site covers BT but I got some good info from Here - Cable Hell. Maybe there's a BT version of this site.

    Cheers
