I'm glad you mentioned this... I thought it was my laptop too until my desktop did the same!
I noticed it a few days ago but Hi5 is also so slow so I thought it was their end
But its still down... and its a known issue.

Probably more like they've ran out of cash, or had a DDOS

Hi5 has been blocked from certain areas in london due to poor responce from people who are registered on hi5 who are living in certain areas........can this even be possible ...well i dont know

I doubt it very much!
Unless ISP's have blocked it (again, highly doubtful!) it just cant happen.
Having said that, I've just had a look around and apparently people outside of the UK can access it!
Try http://204.13.51.244
That gets you in but with limited functions

I wonder whats going on!

Actually it just occured to me... what ISP do you use?
It seems NTL have blocked that site out, I'm on Virgin and they i think piggyback on NTL too...

Happy New Year to you too!

Well I got someone who lives in Wembley to try it out and hes on homechoice... he can access it fine.
Those on Telewest, NTL or Virgin cannot access the site.

I tested earlier on BT Openworld too and thats fine.

I might ring up Virgin later tomorrow to find out (or tuesday if closed) so i'll update you

Thanks .....I really need to get on Hi5 ........hope Telewest make Hi5 acsessible again

Send them an email and if they don't help you out then change ISP.
