If anyone is experiencing very slow connection
Pipex has a problem
And this will effect other ISP's including NTL
My Broadband last night was struggling to open pages for a while but speeded up eventually
Don't know if anyone is still having preblems
But thought you might want to know :D
The failure of a major backbone link between the UK and USA caused difficulties for Internet traffic across many ISPs.
A more minor routing problem within the PIPEX network also affected some PIPEX users for a short time during the afternoon.
Symptoms: The backbone link failure affected several ISPs, including PIPEX, causing traffic to be slow or intermittent, particularly to US-based servers. Additionally, as a consequence of this problem and the associated traffic rerouting DNS servers were at times unreachable, or unable to contact master servers to obtain information, leading to unreliable name lookup.
The PIPEX routing problem caused ADSL connection traffic to be intermittent/slow and some servers were briefly not reachable. This issue originally affected @xtreme2 and @xtreme ADSL users, with @xtreme2 users being affected for a longer period.
Actions: Backbone traffic was rerouted and rebalanced last night and service began improving in the early evening, returning to near normal by about 7.30pm.
The routing issues within the PIPEX network were resolved before 5pm, with server connectivity being restored first, followed by @xtreme.pipex.net ADSL customers and finally @xtreme2.pipex.net customers.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused by these problems.
