eircom broadband issues - can't access sites outside of ireland

    I'm not sure if this is an eircom issue only, I'm on DSL and pretty much everything except Irish sites is inaccessible. I can get on to boards and google.ie, but can't get on EA for example.

    Lookups through opendns are working fine and names are being resolved.
    Traceroute shows a break after the b-ras1.blp.dublin.eircom.net hop.

    Have we been severed from the rest of the world?

    EDIT: just checked again, for a brief moment I got through to the external sites but it's gone again.

    I'm with Vodaphone and same problem. Loojing at the board here seems to be the problem everybody is having.

    Nor it is just 'sites outside ireland'

    http://www.smh.com.au/ works fine (Australia).

    Someone has pulled out the wrong cable somewhere or maybe it is another Pakistan type blocking accident.

    Same with me (Perlico). So far: BBC website, SKY, facebook etc. Pretty much anything with an address that resolves outside these shores.

    Somebody tripped over a wire methinks :rolleyes:

    Looking at the traceroutes all I can tell so far is that anything going over sprintlink is having issues. Which is mostly US as far as I know.

    Poo.

    That address resolves inside Ireland.

    Well for me, the addresses aren't even resolving never mind getting on the first leg of a traceroute.

    A DNS server (or a bunch of them) have gone on holidays.

    All seems to be ok again - I can again access all addresses.
