    Currently, started like 12 minutes ago, I'm having wierd internet issues. Some webpages works flawlessly, other replies slowly and some just doesn't work at all.

    Skype works intermittently, some contacts are visible, some are invisible and I'm currently sitting in a call.

    Some games works, some doesn't. Different webpages work on different computers (tested two - mine can run facebook, my sisters can't).

    Support, naturally, is out for the night - can't bother them until tomorrow. Any clues?

    Could actually access google from my iphone if I disconnected it from the wifi - seems like the most usual explanation is ISP and/or DNS related. Can't spot anything wierd in the router settings either.

    If possible, set the DNS in the computer and/or router to Google DNS -- 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

    See what happens

    1. Unplug your router. Wait 5 minutes. Plug it back in. This is what your ISP will tell you to do if you call them (and assuming they're not just having an outage).

    2. Reboot your computer.

    3. See if the problem is happening on multiple computers.

    Did all three as some of the first things. Neither worked.

    Actually found a number to the night technicians I spoke with last time I had issues with the internet (in which case my system was unintentionally performing a smaller version of ddosing against my ISP) and managed to reach them. Apparantly it was the ISP's fault somehow - they didn't specify - and it came around again roughly 1.5 hrs after it started.

    Thanks for the replies though, thread can be closed.
