Is anyone else is experiencing 'network' issues with BigPipe ADSL boardband this weekend? Since sometime on Friday some web pages time out when trying to load, but then others load fine. For example I can get to nzherald.co.nz and youtube.com fine, but facebook.com, theregister.co.uk, and stuff.co.nz all time out (this is consistent - if site works it has worked all weekend). I also find if I try to trace route to these sites: for working sites it works and for the non-accessible sites it gets as far as:

>tracert www.facebook.com
Tracing route to star-mini.c10r.facebook.com [157.240.8.35]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
  1     1 ms    <1 ms    <1 ms  NB604N.Home [192.168.1.1]
  2    17 ms    17 ms    19 ms  210.54.39.1
  3    17 ms    17 ms    16 ms  122.56.60.68
  4    18 ms    17 ms    19 ms  122.56.60.69
  5     *        *        *     Request timed out

....and continues on like that it gives up at 30 hops of time outs (the last hop is always: 122.56.60.69)

I've gone through the usual rebooting the router and devices. And I've also confirmed it's happening on multiple devices (Win10, iPhone, Linux).

So I've raised a ticket with BigPipe are have acknowledged it, they came back to me pretty quickly to say they have changed sometimes and could i restart the modem - still no go.

Looking at the symptoms it appears to be fault not on my equipment but somewhere on BigPipes network - however I've not seen any news of a bigger outage (ie other people complaining of the same issue).

But I ask here in case anyone can give any further suggestions of troubleshooting I can do at my end that bit pick up the problem? - Because as I'm not seeing other people complain about this I'm still wondering have I missed something, is it me?!

(oh and before any asks - I'm in Wellington, so I don't think this would be a follow on from the Chch incident yesterday)

Cheers
