O2 BroadBand

I'm having the same problem with 02 Broadband... Facebook.com comes up as "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". Friends in Dublin with other network providers seem to be fine. I also tried the fix below (from the rapidshare thread) which was not successful. I have been having this problem for 24 hrs now... hopefully the servers will 'fix themselves' as with the rapidshare problem.

Download this file and put it in the folder above. (I saved the original just incase)

Close your browser
Start run 'ipconfig /flushdns'
And run the browser again.

yeah I've had this problem myself over the past few days. I don't see how the rapidshare issue applies unless Facebook has a server problem too.

There is a thread "O2 Broadband awful at peak times" in this forum, seems O2 are going down the same road as 3, with more people signing up the service just gets worse.:mad:
