Site time outs etc

Anyone else been having difficulty accessing this site all day? Only able to get on here 5 minutes ago.

Happened yesterday for quite a while too.

Maybe they are upgrading us on the NBN? HA HA HA HA HA (spoke to one of the contract workers the other day, and he said maybe in 4 years, if ever...)

The site has been up all day (today and yesterday), so it must be local DNS/ISP issues.

In Sydney with Bigpond I had no issues connecting at all both days.

Yep, same.

Must be a Telstra/Optus issue with the lines somewhere. NO problems with ANY other international or even local sites, only here. Odd.

DNS block hack maybe?

I had a problem accessing IIS earlier in the week also. Changed the DNS address on my modem to Google's DNS server instead of my ISP's DNS server, and haven't had a problem since.

Looks like it's going to be much the same today (sunday). It's been timing out since 8AM for me.

Try using a different DNS server? Site is up fine for me.

Can you try on a mobile device instead of home router etc?

Started glitching here about an hour ago, but now fine. Perhaps your server is problematic Mike? Or is getting hack packet bombs sent to it that times it out?

Seems only relatively few people are having no issues, so maybe worth looking into? Been NO problems up until mid last week, and now continual problems, and we are all on different ISP's.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the server.

I'm not sure how you can suggest only a few people are NOT having issues? There's been 10 people post to this thread and many hundreds that haven't. If the site is down for many more people, I get bombarded with email or messages on FB.

I'm not getting any glitches on bigpond in Sydney. It's most certainly an ISP or DNS issue that affect people using that DNS/ISP.
