Problem with EE?
Hi Martin,
I have EE mobile broadband. For the past 3 or so days I haven’t been able to access the Disco3/4 and FFRR sites (BabyRR works). I get a ‘server cannot be found’ error. The same issue arises independent of the device I use - iPad, iPhone, PC. I’ve rebooted the router etc - it’s on the latest firmware, which hasn’t changed recently. I’m able to access via the same devices if I hotspot to my iPhone on Vodafone.
It may well be an EE issue, but thought I’d mention it in case of a DNS/certificate issue that was fixable from your end.
Thanks,
Paul.An ex-Disco3 / FFRR owner ......

This is mobile Wi-Fi - a rural broadband ‘solution’, so a different hardware backbone.
Hopefully someone in their ‘nerve centre’ will reboot something when they return to work on Monday. An ex-Disco3 / FFRR owner ......

The EE website now claims that they recently fixed a problem at my location. I’m beginning to suspect the culprit An ex-Disco3 / FFRR owner ......

Maybe EE has been bought secretly by LR and they are not happy with some of us.

Definitely borked on EE data.
Trying to lookup the disco3/disco4/freel2/fullfatrr/defender2 domains doesn't work using EE's DNS servers. Using an alternative DNS server (e.g. Google's 8.8.8.8 ) works fine.
Looking up disco5.co.uk, which has its nameservers on a different server, works ok though.
There are a few threads on EE's forum about this, so there is evidently a problem, but chances of getting the EE juggernaut to sort this are <0% so I'll move the nameservers for all the other forums - it'll take a day or two to get them all sorted.06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

You’ll be glad to know I didn’t understand any of that, after the first sentence!!
At least I think I understood the first sentence.
