Subject: BS: Internet outages, July 31 2023, UK From: Mr Red Date: 31 Jul 23 - 05:32 AM Anyone else finding certain websites are stalling & or locked-out? from at least 09:30 toady I had bizarre Google maps, finding a post code/LatLong but refusing to display town names etc, for maybe 30 minutes Fakebook stalling for a period. So while I waited, checked my credit card Co. That is unreachable, though the parent company's website is OK AFAIK because I don't do other banking with them. I have been noticing things going slow on the broadband for days but assumed it was that. The network provider sent a letter informing that all Openreach PTSN telephone lines are switching over to digital, giving options of fibre or they would switch to "other" landline networks seemlessly. (?) by Sept. There are other fibre options out there, maybe now it the time to jump! |
Subject: RE: BS: Internet outages, July 31 2023, UK From: Mr Red Date: 31 Jul 23 - 05:40 AM just tried the phone/broadband provider, FireFox is reporting bad certificate dire warning & Edge says - NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID My clock says Mon July 31 - have I missed a day? I can't even find out what is happening there! Is there a virus targeting the DNS or somewhat? |

If you want a landline after PSTN is discontinued it may be cheaper to get a VOIP line separate from your ISP. A&A (a UK ISP) will do a VOIP line much cheaper than BT was offering me, though I would have had to buy some new kit. In the end I just discontinued the landline. |
