Advertising on BBC Website

It seems that the BBC have changed their website today, and as a result even though I am in the UK and at home (so not through a company proxy) and connected via BT Broadband, I am seeing advertising that is meant to be only for international visitors.

Anyone else seeing this?

There's a little note about it at the top
"Notice anything different? Find out about changes to the BBC News website"

Slightly off topic here, for me the BBC News and BBC Sport sites have been very slow today. I wonder if it's related?

Yeah me too re slow news sites, gave up in the end, I'm on BT ADSL.

I filled in the form to report it when I noticed it.

And lo and behold, it has gone now.

With BBC sport I wonder if it's the live cast Murray tennis match feed that is slowing things.

Likely coupled with the MJ footage.

Seems ok just now though.
