Google inaccessible

Google, Yahoo and Gmail are currently inaccessible here in the Philippines. I've used different browsers and IPs, still nothing. The non-loading is consistent with a DDOS attack. I tried using a proxy though and works just fine. This is probably a network issue, a new kind of attack, undersea cable problems or probably nothing. I'm just wondering if anyone is experiencing similar problems as this is the first time in memory that I can't access good ole Google.

just tryed it, from montana , works ok here..

Have you attempted a traceroute to see where along route that the packets seem to be dropping into the abyss? I would be quite interested to see the output of it if you have; Google just doesn't explode for no good reason it seems.

Works perfectly fine in England as it seems.

It's back! Let the records show Google disappeared from this part of the world for about 20 minutes. This is the first time this happened in my almost a decade of online surfing. Gee, ya think this is caused by the Depression?

Nah in all likelihood if its also the weekend in your area some upstream provider had to knock out a router to do some maintenance or something. Even my employer has scheduled downtime this weekend to work on some servers and such, so that's probably what it was.

This is a big national provider. When they do maintenance or repairs (which are very rare) they turn off the entire connectivity, not individual sites.
