Can you do a manual install here http://www.java.com/en/download/help/windows_manual_download.xml

Have you tried using a different Internet Browser?

All web browsers load the page, but will not start the download.

Got it installed. Here are the results...

Hey, I'm having the same issues today. Some pages aren't loading at all. Other I have to keep refreshing, time after time. And others are taking literally minutes to load. Never had a problem until today. I'm in Cumbria, where abouts are you at?

Glad to know someone else is having an issue. I'm in Ross-on-Wye in Herefordshire. I have found changing to Google's DNS servers at 8.8.8.8 have improved the situation, although Facebook still won't load.

Its always a relief when your not on your own with problems like this. Takes out the factor of hardware/setup issues. I've found a lot of the blogs I usually visit aren't loading at all. Facebook isn't too bad here but Ebay is a nightmare. Takes ages to load, if at all, on most attempts. Hopefully they look into it and sort it.

Nothing wrong with the speeds, it seems to be a general problem at the moment.

[allansmith]

Well I'll keep faith that it will get sorted soon

According to the service status here: http://btbusiness.custhelp.com/app/service_status_consumer/

BT carried out maintenance on its network last night. Maybe something happened then.

Oh yeah, 00:33. I bet they forgot to put that important wire back
