Has MN taken over the internet?

I am on my phone having a browse of the internet and for some reason the only website that will open is MN . I've tried googling all sorts and nothing else works .
My YouTube app comes up blank same as the eBay app , TikTok won't work either and nor will my banking app .
Any ideas ?

I’m experiencing the exact same thing. So weird!

Furryrug · 19/09/2023 23:18

What area are you in?

I’m guessing you’re with Sky - they’re having a big outage at the moment.

Yes and annoyingly I have sky glass so my tv has died along with the internet

CharlotteSometimes1 · 19/09/2023 23:20

Me too

Oh ok , thanks, it doesn't explain why only MN is working though.

More than likely Sky’s issue is DNS related - meaning that some sites will work, but most won’t.
I’m the boring nerdy IT guy so I’ll save you the tediously dull explanation, I put my wife to sleep with it a few minutes ago! 😅

Can I join you with the boring techy stuff to advise people to change their DNS to fix the problem?!

Chickenkeev · 20/09/2023 00:30

I'm with Sky and it drops all the time. ALL the time! Don't know about DNS.

Gingerkittykat · 20/09/2023 01:20

I'm also with Sky and only Mumsnet is working properly for me.

My internet is normally really reliable, does anyone know how long this is likely to go on for?

Is yours still down? If so, what device are you using?
