Yesterday I had network improvements scheduled, midnight to 8am, and since I have been having some issues.
Certain websites aren't loading.
Certain video games won't play.
Currently, eu.finalfantasyxiv.com won't load. Completely times out. I can't log in to play Final Fantasy XIV. Instagram won't load. Virgin Media's own webchat tab won't load. Twitter is spotty. As far as I can see, all other websites are fine.
This is on two separate computers. Both are wired. Mobile phones connected to wi-fi can't load the websites, as soon as I disconnect wi-fi and use phone data the websites load.
I have called twice, and to say that the staff by phone have no idea what's happening is an understatement. I have confirmed Web Safe is disabled. I have disabled all firewalls on the router and computers. I have factory reset the Hub 3.0 four times, powered it on and off again, and run trace routes (log below). Every single member of staff has disconnected the call or transferred me to someone else with no warning (presumably so they don't have to deal with it), and to say that I am getting frustrated is an understatement.
Again, this began after network improvements in my area.

You may want to post a new thread. This one (I started) was about an outage for all players in the Barnsley area and has been marked as resolved.

Good point -
