That does, actually, help answer my question. I had made incorrect assumptions about your set-up. As a consequence my comments made no sense. Would you mind running one command for me in Terminal (Terminal.app can be found in the Utilities Folder in Applications) Just paste the following into the Terminal window and hit return. traceroute agile.ws Could you then paste the response back into a message here or to me? If you don't feel comfortable sharing that data with the world then could you send it to support(a)agile.ws and just add a note referencing this discussion? You are under no obligation to do this, but it would help us try to figure out what has been going on with people not being able to reach us. Also if you remember your old settings for DNS servers (before you switched to Google DNS) that would be helpful, too. I'm sorry for pestering you, it's just that we want to know as much as possible about the state of the network between ourselves and people who've seen this problem.

So the more I know about your network set up the better. First of all can you tell me who your ISP is? Second, if you know what your DNS settings were before you shifted to Google that would be helpful. Thanks!

Until now I thought the problem in the UK was limited to Sky and Tiscali. Now I see Virgin Media as well. I don't really have a good enough sample, but I think that all of the UK reports I've seen for which I have a location are in The North. You are in Yorkshire, I've seen a problem from "near Manchester" and I think there was another somewhere east of Liverpool (I'll have to go back and check on these reports). One of our staff is in Leeds, but he hasn't been able to duplicate the problem. We've also know that there some users in Ireland, Norway and Italy have been affected. (We had declared this a problem in "northwest Europe" before we saw the reports from Italy). Anyway, thanks for your help.

That a no-no that about the most insecure way to have an internet connection over cable or DSL. You always use a router in between. This adds layer of protection.
