Does anyone on here know whats happened to the bubblecableboxes web site? it was working fine up until yesterday and now it seems to be down, the reason I ask is that my father in law has just ordered the Eurovox EX5000 after seeing me get a MaxV from there a while ago, the box was supposed to be delivered within 48hours (it was ordered on monday night) but still hasnt arrived, I know myself and 3 others who have all ordered from there with no problems but Im a little worried now with the box not turning up and the site going down...... anyone got any ideas?

I get a forbidden 403 message (in work, at home, and in my father in laws)

What is the URL that you are using?

*edit - Ive just used a proxy server and got access to it fine, I wonder if VM are blocking access to it? (2 of the computers I used are on VM)

couldnt say m8 but i think there are a lot of problems that can cause 403 errors.

Its ok, manged to give them a ring and there was a delay on the eurovox5000, its being sent out today <wipes brow>

apparently it was a ddos attack (denial of service), which caused the website to crash, money was 'requested' to stop attack !
