Can't access any Google content this morning (Tue 10 Jan). Accessing Stuff or any page that has links to Google stalls the page loading. Can't access Gmail either (via web or mail client). Have logged a fault with TCL. Apparently a DNS issue since about 7am this morning for some users (I'm in Newtown on cable).

Yes, I can't get to google either. Seems TCL's DNS servers are playing up

Same here but I don't think it's DNS. I am also having problems accessing Microsoft BPOS servers which are resolved correctly, and use 443. It looks like Snap Internet is having this problem today as well, and as we know Snap and TelstraClear use the same transit to international servers.

Working fine from here as well now. Service status on TCL's website also indicates it has been fixed.

Customers’ web browsing experiences were affected this morning from about 6.45 to 8.20 am. The problem was proved to be outside our network in an overseas Internet  provider. The issue appears to have been largely resolved, although we are aware that browsing some sites seems slower than usual. We have logged this with our international provider and will continue to actively monitor the situation.

Identical issues to this have happened several times before and TCL usually say its out of their control, maybe its time they implemented measures to protect their investment so it doesnt happen again.

There must be something they can do to ensure their so-called upstream providers don't affect their performances.
