    For the PlayStation, visit its network settings and set the DNS to Google Public DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

    See if that helps.

    Yes, same here this week! A variety of sites stopped working around the same time I upgraded from M350 to 1Gig plan and have also had to upgrade my router.

    I've been scratching my head all day as to what the cause can be. Look forward to reading the answer 🙂

      Morning budda 

      Have you been able to connect since posting or did trying changing the DNS work?

      Best wishes.

        The VM routing problem seemed to be the cause (as discussed in the longer networking ticket). So things are back to working as far as I've experienced over the past 5 days.
