Is anyone else having issues with google searches? The homepage is slow to load for me and searches even slower!
Fine here, using FF.
I have google problems as well, and using firefox, its intermittent as well :-\
Google seems slow and the forum is also being affected slightly (by Google Analyticals). Support advised.
Looks to be sorted. :)
I had some problems as well but it seems ok at the moment..never say never though. >:D
It seems to be playing up again on off on off slow fast slow fast etc etc
I'd agree, Alf, it's being very erratic.
Getting same problems here!
Unlike the last problem, only Google is being affected for me.
Simon has checked the routers at IDNet, and there's no problems there. I've found a report on ThinkBroadband of this problem affecting other ISPs, so it appears to be a Google issue at the moment.
Google not working, Facebook broken earlier and another forum I read has been broken all day. I thought the internet was coming to an end.
As far as we know, Ann, it's not an IDNet issue, but can you let me have the URL of the forum and I'll pass it on. Use PM if you prefer.

and no before anyone thinks so.. PDSA is nothing to do with animals! It's probably just the site is down. Be back tomorrow I expect.
That does appear to be a server down, Ann. You might be interested to know, though, that McAfee has the site tagged as 'amber', they appear to have some risky elements there when they inspected it, eg spamming or infected downloads.
Facebook is OK and is pinging about 164ms, Google is pinging erratically, which fits with the performance I've been watching this afternoon.
The google thing is affecting logging into loads of accounts today that use analytics :(
Facebook has been up and down for me too. Same with google.
I'll got make dinner instead. ;)
Google seems to be fine for me now. :)
It's been 'on and off' for several hours, Sebby. Let's hope we have now reached the point of being more on than off. :)
You're right, it's gone slow again. Never mind!
Same as last month:
More than one specific site, including
Google
Idnetters
not including
BBC
natwest.com
I say DNS problem like last time.
Very annoying to effectively do without Google.

I use OpenDNS and still have the problems. ;)
Google site has been googled. >:D
Trouble with Google here too, but Netters seems to be OK.
The only effect I've seen on the forum has been due to our use of Google Analyticals.
