I got shut down this morning, and thought it was just BF but then couldn't refresh other sites and got the usual, and insulting,
messages that there was no valid internet connection.
Went through the usual processes of re-booting and then switching off the router and re-starting, but all to no avail!
The crazy thing was I could connect on the moby for some reason!
Went out for a couple of hours and tried again later but was just scrolling backwards.
Tried to do a BT speed test, but the b@st@rds wouldn't even recognise my phone number, and were saying that I don't have "Fibre Optic Broadband.
Anyway I got back on at approx 13.00, give or take.

Anyone watch BBC Watchdog a couple of weeks ago about BT Broadband?
I myself am on aol-a wonderful, company. The speed is equivalent to snail running a marathon. I am currently watching Sandie Shaw win the current Eurovision Song Contest. But they were very good- they supplied me with the latest version of the Sinclar Spectrum with The Attari router and Timex clockwork mechanism to run it!

There must still be some issues as yesterday, when I got back on,I tried to run a speed test and they don't recognise my number!
Just tried again and still the same.....
Ridiculous!

BT has apologised after "many" users in the UK experienced problems recently connecting to the internet, but says the issue has now been resolved.
Users complained they were unable to connect to some websites - including social media, banking and shopping sites - as a result of the problems.
BT said it was unable to say how many customers had been hit, but issues were reported in various parts of the UK.
"We're sorry for any trouble this may have caused," a BT spokesman said.
The firm, which has about seven million broadband subscribers in the UK, said it was still investigating the incident.
A message posted on Twitter by BTCare said: "Sorry about the issues many of you had accessing the Internet this morning. Problem is now fixed- sorry for any trouble caused."
'Wildfire'
Customers complained of problems in parts of Cornwall, as well as in Eastbourne, Preston, Tunbridge Wells and several other areas.
David Black, from St Austell, told the BBC: "It started with eBay at 09:30 BST and is spreading like wildfire.
"Amazon, Netflix, most forums, Facebook and Twitter are all blocked, with more being blocked all the time."
He added: "No-one can get through to the BT help pages as, ironically, they are also affected."
Another BT customer, Peter Clayton, added: "It seems to be all the major sites that don't work. HSBC, eBay, Amazon.
"My plumbing website seems also to be down and I'm a small business so this really does affect me as I have people in my office just twiddling their thumbs."

Please will people stop posting in "text speak"!
It may save them a tenth of a second but just makes it difficult for the reader.
This crazy stuff was, sort of, relevant when texts were restricted, but has no relevance on here or anywhere now.
