Talktalk Internet Down

[owlface 10]

Is anyone else affected by TalkTalk internet going down?

Seems to have started about 3pm this afternoon.

Does your router show as disconnected, or does it still look ok?

the reason I ask is, Last time I used Talk Talk, we thought it kept cutting off, but it turned out it was only a DNS server issue... so using Googles DNS server(s) resolved any problems we had...

ever since, anyone who has issues with TalkTalk - I check this first, and 90% of the time it fixes the problem/issues..

HOWEVER, This likely wouldn't work if it was actually fully dropping the connection, (lights on the router go off/change etc)

An alternative to Google DNS is Cloudflare and more secure:

I've been on their IPv4 and 6 for a while now. No problems at all

 

As swarf linked, Primary is 1111 secondary is 1001. Not a chance of me remembering the IPv6 ones so you'll have to look them up. I can add them later if you want them.

Hi zack - the IPv6 numbers are in that article I posted. 😉

Thanks swarf. I have them in a notepad doc, I don't remember them, just a copy and paste for IPv6 addresses.
