DNS servers offline?

[#1]

DNS lookups via Plusnet's own servers - 212.159.6.9 and 212.159.6.10 - seem to be broken (i.e. unable to resolve host names etc.).

I've switched our router/devices to use Cloudflare for now, which has resolved it, but I'm wondering if this is a problem local to us or more widespread?

[#2]

Internet working fine all day and I’m literally in the middle of working tonight and it’s gone down!!!! Can’t get hold of anyone !!!

[#3]

Mine has just gone down too. Can't see any issues with the router... I'm hoping just temporary issue their end

[#4]

DNS problems. I can still ping stuff.

[#5]

Yup mines down too. It's been intermittent all day which never happens, but now it's fully down. Tested everything my end and seems all ok so assuming their end?

[#6]

looks like widespread problem

[#7]

My connection has been dropping for days, what are you in, Plymouth by any chance ?

[#8]

Mine has as well but the light is still blue

[#9]

DNS servers are not pinging, I just changed my DNS to 8.8.8.8 and back on line

Plusnet's DNS servers have gone offline. I just posted about this in Full Fibre forum - your post seems to confirm this is not just me.

Net connection itself is fine - i.e. if you go to 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare's DNS web page) you should find it works, but any request using a named address won't work.

I haven't experienced problems earlier, but mine completely dropped out a few minutes ago. I'm in Northamptonshire so it's pretty wide spread

[#12]

Same here. Stopped working about 20:45 rebooted router but it made no difference. Sandhurst Berkshire.

[#13]

Yes does look that way, neither are responding, i've swapped to 8.8.8.8 for now, and that seems to work.

[#14]

No broadband here either, I can find no service status page for plusnet either, so I really can't tell if it's their end or mine. I'll have to contact support to find that out I guess.

Same here Router showing blue and connected, but no show on the internet.
