BT Shop / EE Store website down / being killed off?

[tyke]

OK, back to it's bad behaviour today. 
Looks like an (intermittent???) routine problem.

Ping to store.ee.co.uk: "Request timed out".
(Ping to www.ee.co.uk - no problem) 

Tracert to store.ee.co.uk gives this:

Here's more interesting information...
I can't access via Broadband (note - no problems with other sites). 
I CAN access using mobile data. 

Definately a routing problem. PlusNet broadband.

According to the Downdetector website (Which I guess is only as accurate as the number of those who use it), PlusNet has had a total of 26 reports of downtime today at around 1pm.

It seems you're not alone in having issues with it lately!
