Disconnected   router turned to red, still cant get on via desktop  ???

Yup, same for me.

I have to say that with Pipex I didn't get regular disconnections like this - but when they did occasionally disconnect, they were down for hours rather than minutes... hard to say which is more annoying.

But OTOH at least my speeds with IDNet are 10x faster (yes) and they give you someone to complain to  ;D

Back on line  ??? :( what was that all about ?
Title: Re: Connection probs?
Post by: Simon on Dec 26, 2008, 23:14:01
It was about 2 minutes, David.  :)

More than 2 mins here Simon,I rebooted twice and when that didnt cure it I unplugged router. :dunno:

Oh right, well I just left well alone, and by the time I'd made a cup of tea, it was back on again. 

I've noticed one or two websites being quite slow, Next in particular, but I put it down to extra traffic with the sales.

It's probably BT messing around, or at least that's what they usually find the cause to be. We'll see when the IDNet guys return. :)

I expect it will have been forgotten by then!  ;)

yep had some too about 10.00pm ish and some during the day but dont have any times

thought mine was just down to me setting up new laptops but it seems not  :dunno:

FWIW - I'm not on iDNet - something similar happened to me with my Demon connection around tea time yesterday.  I don't think the line dropped, but PPP must have gone down.



Title: Re: Connection probs?
Post by: Rik on Dec 27, 2008, 10:06:14
No down time recorded here. The last couple of times this has happened was when BT were doing maintenance on one of the centrals and when there was an outage at the Ilford data centre (or whatever it's name properly is...).

I'll see if I can get any info.

Who are you looking for, Bob?
Title: Re: Connection probs?
Post by: talos2 on Dec 27, 2008, 10:10:09
Just an answer Rik,  seems a lot of the web is on a go slow or down, strange thing my speed has almost doubled
Title: Re: Connection probs?
Post by: Rik on Dec 27, 2008, 10:14:21
I'm seeing pretty much normal speeds, Bob, except from 'sales' sites, which were going slow from the outset.

Have you done a BT speed test?

BT speed test never seems to work for me ,but I will try again.
Title: Re: Connection probs?
Post by: Rik on Dec 27, 2008, 10:21:09
If you can't get to BT, can you try the ThinkBroadband one, and let me know the results plus your sync speed, attenuation and noise margin?
Title: Re: Connection probs?
Post by: Danni on Dec 27, 2008, 10:31:30
And I thought it was just me :P I also had the drop last night, but it came back on after a few minutes so wasn't bothered.
Title: Re: Connection probs?
Post by: Rik on Dec 27, 2008, 10:35:05
Given the geographic spread, Danni, I'm betting central or a switch at IDNet. I'll try to find out.
Title: Re: Connection probs?
Post by: talos2 on Dec 27, 2008, 10:38:57
No BT as usual, gets as far as the testing please wait, after 10 mins I usually give up.  Not to worry Rik, I'm not complaining, makes a change for things to load so quick. Just concerned that there seemed to be nobody but me accessing the forum and since I could not get the IDNET site I thought there was a major problem somewhere.
Title: Re: Connection probs?

Have you tried the IDNet site lately, Bob? It's working fine for me.

Title: Re: Connection probs?
Post by: Simon on Dec 27, 2008, 12:48:34
It will be [username]@idnet.gw5, David.  :)
Title: Re: Connection probs?
Post by: Rik on Dec 27, 2008, 12:50:42
I'm not 100% sure, David, but I think it's <username>@idnet.gw5. Perhaps someone on GW5 could confirm that.

As Simon just has. :)

The outage on Friday night was due to IDNet implementing IPv6 across the network. Apparently, Simon doesn't stop even on Boxing Day.  :)

Nothing in my logs here, Esh, so if you still have problems, give IDNet a ring.
