Routing problems here on BT too.  Some sites normal, some (like
www.google.com, my favourite site in the entire world) getting "No route
to host." 

traceroute to www.google.com (216.239.33.101), 30 hops max, 38 byte

I am pretty sure there is something is up, as there are other sites I
can't reach, and I couldn't get the root nameservers earlier.  Nearly went
mad, and ended up adding the Freeserve ones to my resolv.conf.

BT anytime is shocking.  They should be ashamed of themselves.
