Hello We use Virginmedia for phone and broadband. Telephone number begining 01 are free, hence we are regular users of SayNoTo0870. Recently we've noticed that we are often unable to access the SayNoTo0870 site - in fact this is now usually the case. I'd assumed that the site was down, however I've noticed that if I VPN into my company's network from my home computer (ie connect via a proxy) then the site comes up no problem - this is on the same computer immediately after finding the site down without VPN. Am I being paranoid, or is it possible that Virginmedia are blocking SayNoTo0870? Has anyone else experienced this problem? Thanks Thomas

(rather OT for this group) I perhaps think the former :-) No. I suggest you check dns (s/b 66.197.185.245) and then try ping and traceroute (tracert ?) which may shed light. Then try vm's support people.

That's strange, I use from my VM phone line no problem "sam coleridge" wrote: Posting from Peter Rogers Replace NOSPAM with ntlworld to reply

Yes, a full reset to factory setting on my d-link router resolved the issue. Looks like my son had been playing around with some settings for gaming
