Default Maldives website down for a couple of days now.

Whilst that's certainly possible (considering every other avenue has been
considered!) it still doesn't really explain why, for most people including
myself, the site loads fine.


But is anyone else on Talktalk? (And perhaps in the Essex area.) TT routing
issues still sounds quite plausible.

I concur. Certainly looked like a routing issue the other night...

The school doesn't use TalkTalk but it directs me to this problem when trying to access that site:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/...1-or-microsoft

I'm here now.

I think that's a bit of a red herring. I can access the site through my home ISP but not through work. The URL resolves to an address only through certain ISPs. Routing, I reckon.

Thread too long to check and probably water under the bridge now, but has
anyone suggested trying Opera as a browser? The built-in VPN might
conceivably help. Could be worth one last try.

Hi John, I'm not sure if this answers that theory, but I have used GetRight download manager for years which I have set for the three main Maldives downloads, this also doesn't work anymore. ALso I tried on four different computers but they all use the same router, beit hardwired or wireless, again none work, included my phone, which I have to switch WiFi off to get to the Maldives website. I can't access this from the schools internet. There is only a handfull of people that I know have the same problem, one in Cardiff and another in Brussels. I think it must be a combination of routing and a dodgy website, as so many fixes have been tried. My brother can access it and he's on Blueyonder.

Yes, the thread has gone viral..

Many thanks everyone.

Just to be clear, it's not any download management features of Opera that
might be relevant, but its ability at least to partially hide the identity
of what's been retrieved. So there's a chance - though only a chance
admittedly - that a download via Opera might escape the attention of
TalkTalk's border routers, if that is indeed what's causing the problem.
