For me connectivity was lost around 00:30 UTC from logs.
----------------------------------------When I got up and checked I could not resolve IP for WCG. Checked various down test sites and OK everywhere, even London where I am. Tried from work VPN and was able to reach website. Set 3rd party DNS servers in router and was then able to resolve IP but not connect. About to phone Sky when it started working around 09:00 UTC. Wrote it off as a Sky issue. Update: No sign of outage at 13:00 UTC in logs. Paul.

I, too, am with Sky, but all other websites were available, so why not WCG?

I, too, am with Sky, but all other websites were available, so why not WCG? Good question. Selective connectivity could be some routes not available but I also could not resolve IP using Sky DNS. Could be a mistaken entry on a blacklist or just an IP block including WCG mis-routed by Sky or up-stream provider. Paul.
