I've noticed the frequent inaccessibility of certain websites for
over a week now.


I'm glad to know that this is a known problem. I didn't change
anything (honest!) but suddenly a week ago my church website (which I
maintain) became totally inaccessible from here (www, ftp or ping).
Friends around the world could get it fine so it wasn't a hosting
problem. Various suggestions from my ISP were to no effect. Then
yesterday it suddenly came back. I'm glad but wish I knew why.


It's so disheartening when you restore previous router settings,
restore windows to an earlier time. Poking and prodding the works for
days on end only to find that it's to no avail. Then service suddenly
returns to normal. ISPs are reluctant to claim responsibility, so they
often don't.
