Shaw Internet: Yahoo.com problem

[GoJetsGo]

I work with Flkr for some photo hosting and notice yesterday it was down. Then I look and found Yahoo.com to be town.

Turns out its a problem with Shaw Internet. I phoned in Monday night and there was a recording saying "some Shaw users will find Yahoo.com to be down".

It's still down 24 hours later for me. I called and the message is updated saying the same problem is still occurring for some.

Anyone else a shaw internet customer in Calgary with this problem?

Does anyone know what would cause something like this? Especially having it only happen in some areas only?

Had the same problem at work. It was our DNS servers, we just cleared the chache for Yahoo.com and Yahoo.ca and it worked again. We don't use Shaw as our internet provider either, so it isn't just a Shaw problem. Yahoo probably made a change and as a result some people will have stale records in their DNS servers, thus people who rely on those servers will not get to yahoo.

Also, I'm a Shaw user and yahoo loads up for me so... neener neener neeener!

yahoo.com loads up on IE (which I don't use), but doesn't load up on FireFox.

I'm on shaw, and no problems with Yahoo at all. (with Firefox)

I use Shaw also and have no problems with Yahoo.

I've had problems one day, and no problems the next day.

Currently, it's a problem. Says it cannot find the site.

Can help with those kinds of things, though keep in mind it does compromise your privacy; someone other than your ISP knows exactly what you are surfing when. Depends on how much you trust OpenDNS and how, um, eclectic your surfing habits are.

It wasn't working for me last night or all through the day today and tonight. Just tried it now and it seems to be working just fine.

I'm having the same problem. I actually did a search yesterday to see if anyone else was having problems with yahoo. The first result from my search was "Is Yahoo down????" from Yahoo answers lol.

I had the problem yesterday. Sucks.. I couldn't update the rosters for my pool.

Down again! I still need to pick my goalies!

I feel bad. Last night my buddy said that he couldn't get on yahoo and I just secretly thought he was an idiot. Glad I kept that to myself!
