According to my router I'm still connected but I can't access any sites as of about 15 minutes ago. I've rebooted the router twice with the same result, and now have it unplugged to try that. Everything was fine until 15 mins ago too, connected at nearly 14mb since I had that noise issue a few weeks ago that went away!
Yeah.
My router did exactly the same, stayed "connected" or so it thought but red light was on and no internet.
Down for about 15 mins. All OK again now though.
Same here, just got back on.
Hi.
I had the same thing occur. I have no alternative way of connecting to the internet when it goes down, but obviously it's come back up now because I am posting!! It went down just after 9.30am, and has just returned. Hope it stays that way! I think (going by the live feed) there was some work going on??

Just noticed that there will be work on "Sunday 5th Spetember" ;D Luckily I can still use my phone to get on when needed.
I guess it just shows that we should have all read the announcements :blush:
We did try. ;D I've spoken to Simon, that should be the worst of it for the day.
Oops I knew about that, but thought it was yesterday :D

We really must get you a calendar, Niall. ;)
Glad my wife didn't want to use the computer just yet, she just wants to turn it on and go straight online. She gets quite aggravated when it doesn't work just like a TV. ;D

Top of the network status page and on the RSS feed, Baz.
:thumb: Rik.
do you think that will be it for today then.
There will be some anomalies until about 3, Baz, but hopefully, there won't be another total outage unless they have to reboot a router again.
what were they doing as some sites that were 'hanging' for me now seem ok :dunno: unless its all in the mind as I know something has been done :D
They're replacing core routers (to meet customer growth) and one had to be re-booted after it went live.

Mine has been down since 8.15am Glad to know this is all that's happening as I've been fiddling with the router unnecessarily. We don't always read announcements, as this incident proves, and the thread has been read about 63 times last time I looked. Good on IDNET for notifying us, however, not all of their customers keep up with the site on regular basis. What about a text message service which we could subscribe to/or it could be free ;D so that way we're all kept up to date with any service announcements without having to ring in or wait to find out what's wrong? Most of us have only one line so if internet is down, there's no way of knowing what's going on... unless you were smart enough to read the announcements in the first place that is. :blush:
You could subscribe to the RSS feed, it's free and warned us of the work, hence we decided to put up the announcement. You shouldn't have been down at 8:15 though.
AN SMS subscription service does sound like a good idea although I've no idea what costs are involved.
Quote from: Steve on Sep 05, 2010, 11:02:11

It is a good idea, the NatWest do one if you have their iPhone app so you get a text telling you your balance every Friday which is handy. I think it may have to be a paid for service I guess though as it may be a complex thing to set up.
You're right Rik, but it would be great to be notified of problems as they happen too, where service announcements wouldn't be useful. Anyway, serves us right for not reading the post. Great sunday to you all.
I'll suggest it...

If I cant get online, like this morning I use my Phone to check status, so its not an issue either way, it would be a nice extra but not really needed.
I've asked...
Ah panic over.
I too have been struggling with all the known "home fixes" today before checking here via my phone.
I hope this hardware upgrade inadvertently fixes my issues too (pages taking forever to open). My connection has been appalling since the Scotland/N Ireland outages a while back. I'm seriously thinking about trying a different ISP to see of I can regain the level of service I used to get from IDNet.
Have you talked to them, Rich?
Are we talking about community based SMS subscription or IDNet sponsored?
If there is not a website already setup to outsource such things, there should be. That way personal data could all be kept safe (IE no one here need know my number for example). IDnetters could register for updates. It could be paid for with an add at the bottom of the txt for "www.mcdonalds.com" or "Donald Russell sausages". Then Rik and the peeps here could relay a message "service down for 1 hour sunday" and the sms would be sent.
[edit]
We need something like "http://www.bulksms.co.uk/?gclid=CJvU8IbD8KMCFRZf4wodsy293Q" that intergrates directly into the forum/myspace/facebook so that people can register/unregister via a web portal. Hmm, saying that, does facebook have it's own SMS messaging service? We could start a "IDnetters Service update" page?
We were thinking IDNet sponsored, Ben.
Well, as most people are able to access myspace or facebook or twitter from their mobiles now, could IDNet use one of these? Then the actual workload would be very small for them. Some simple script to copy/paste updates from the IDNet page/here to the twitter for example. There is also the App route. :whistle:
I'll see what they say...
Hmmm. My router messed up it's dates again. :bawl:
But by the looks of it I got my connect back at 12 (if it was a system wide service interuption for repaires/upgrades). No idea how long it was down. So personally I've had no problems over here.
It's not down to IDNet's work, Ben, that would only have caused routing issues, not connection ones.
I had authentication drops yesterday afternoon and this morning when Ident were working. I have just had another authentication drop for a fewminutes just now. I am on the Frinton on sea exchange which is hardly congested at any time because of all the older peiople round here ;D ANy ideas why, I expect BT work on the exchange, unfortunately BT don't always letIdnet know when or where they are going to carry out work so it's not worth worrying them about it just yet.
The only report I can find refers to the Ealing BRAS, Alf, but since Norwich goes through Milton Keynes, who knows what route your connection takes?
Quote from: Rik on Sep 05, 2010, 15:37:17

Hi Rik.
How are you doing mate?
To be fair, no I haven't. I reached breaking point last week and meant to do something about it but seeing I was distinctly underwhelmed with my last batch of contact (the Scotland/N Ireland outages - still don't know what happened) I've been procrastinating the "speaking to someone about it" part. You see it works then it doesn't, the connection feels like sludge then next minute it's back up again for a while. It's only been like this since the outages. I think I know what they will say anyway as I checked on here during the worst moments and no one else was reporting similar experiences so I presume it will be blamed on BT, my exchange, my wiring, my router etc.
After having stuck with IDNet for so many years (four now I think) I see the quality of my service really isn't as top notch as it used to be. I can't help thinking it's time to try elsewhere but having moved to this new house earlier this year and gone through all the waiting and extra charges involved in hooking up my BB, I'm put off going through all it again so soon. let's hope todays jiggery-pokery has put my line back the way it was.
Not so bad, yourself? :)
Run a BT test and let support have that plus your router stats, Rich, ideally all done from the test socket. Let them take a look at it.
How long before I can access websites? I can only load idnetters
I don't know, I was told not long now at 16:26.
I'll go eat my roast then! :food2:
Things are back now.
Look on the bright side- the list of Users Online is the longest I've seen in some time ;)
My connection went down 10 minutes ago and I couldn't even access IDNET.net from another connection during that period?!?!
Just had a total loss of connectivity lasting about 5 minutes. All seems well know.
Missus swears it wasn't her pulling the router plug to do the hoovering. :laugh:

Actually, earlier on when I was browsing here on my iphone, I couldn't find the forums. They seemed to vanish for a minute or so.

Good to know its not an internal problem at least. Although its 5.30 now way past the 3pm cutoff and still websites are playing up. :'(
That's why I've put the newsfader up. I last spoke to Simon an hour ago, and they were still working.
ok this is a small list of places i can not currently connect too, itunes, my Usenet sever in the usa, any flash based games on facebook (kids going mad, told them to go outside and play ;D )
i can get e-mail, bbc but not the live 20/20 cricket commentary
I can get to iTunes, which is the only one of those I can test for you.
I'm seeing issues with seeing some photos on deviant art. Most are fine, but the odd few aren't loading. Still, my upload speed has increased to 1175 so I'm happy, sod seeing some pictures, they can look at mine ;D
thanks for checking Rik, but their still not working, but i'm going out till 8, i will see how it is then
i see an increase to from 1600 to 1799 nice
No-one should be seeing any speed changes as a result of this work, it would not cause resyncs, so if you are, there's likely to something else going on locally. I'll see if I can get an update.
Can't reach Simon, atm.
My speed is fine, but I've just noticed I can't access www.amazon.co.uk and I have blues CD browsing needs :D
I shall have a cup of tea and watch a film instead, thus saving myself a fiver. Ta IDnet :D
{edit} Bah, I can now!
/me spends money
buy me a router Niall
NIALL....PLEASE :)
No problems here, Niall.
Yeah it's okay now. I cleared my DNS cache before, so everything is probably settling down again. I couldn't access the Steam store before, through Steam but can now. Slowly slowly, catchy monkey :D

How do you go about flushing your DNS?
Windows cmd >ipconfig /flushdns If I remember rightly.
You do, Steve. How about on a Mac?

Thanks.
Didn't help for me, flushed it, then rebooted router and even PC and still most sites won't work including the one above.
If they're working for one or more of us, they should be working for all, so I can only suggest you contact support, sorry. :(
Have you rebooted your router?
He has, Steve.
Sorry :blush:
I miss them all the time. ;)
I'll contact them tomorrow if I'm still getting the same thing, it was all fine earlier on. :(
On a side note IDnet.com and Idnetters will not load up on my Xperia phone.. no problems with other sites.
I'm still finding sites I can't connect to, but if I refresh for long enough it eventually connects. Twitter went weird before, as did amazon and a couple of other sites.

Did you try them earlier when the routers were dropping sites? If so, can you do the equivalent of a flush DNS?
It is now 19.45pm I cannot access ebay and some other web sites? I don't always check on here for update messages regarding work been carried out?, but this afternoon I was watching an item on ebay and bidding on it & I was just about to put a higher bid on when it went awol and I lost the item!!! >:( this has happen before? and it is annoying to say the least :shake: I will have to go to my neighbours to use their sky B/B as one cannot trust Idnet @ weekends when work is in progress & system failures :rant2: txt or emails regarding system works would go amiss Idnet!!!
I'm still having problems as well after flushing DNS. Many sites are loading incorrectly or not at all. Continually refreshing helps but it seems there are still problems somewhere along the line.
Same problems here. Lots of sites will not load and some load as if text only. I've rebooted the router, flushed the DNS and rebooted the computer!
I'll try again tomorrow...
Tim
still the same issues here bbc and facebook work very slowly, try and vist any other sites in my bookmarks and my mac just says you are not connected to the internet
I'm starting to see it spread to Facebook now, whereas it was fine before. Amazon is also back to not loading pages properly, or taking 4-5 refreshes to load.

I am still having exactly the same problems. After flushing the DNS cache and a router reboot, I have tried accessing all of my usual sites and about 30% of them either show as server errors or do not display correctly but all work after refreshing the screen 1-2 times, all except for pcworld.co.uk, which will not display at all. That may just be a problem with them, but it shows that there still a lot of problems and disgruntled Idnet users.

Idnet we want refunds due to the unaceptable systems failure I cannot access ebay or other web sites like many other customers its no joke? it is just one big nightmare and we have being let down by Idnet :eek4:
hardly anything working now, bbc, facebook and this forum is taking forever to load :rant2:
Lost the entire dns (websites) earlier, then lost internet connection, but my router and the exchange were still up. Now it's all fine. BBC ebay etc all load instantly, even faster than normal. However, I use Open DNS. :dunno:
At the moment IDNet still achieve 99% uptime for me each year. So no complaints. :thumb:
PS, perhaps if you try using Open DNS (http://www.opendns.com/) to see if this solves the problem? If it does, we can confirm it's a DNS problem, if it does not, then it's worse! :eek4:
I obtained the open DNS numbers on my phone and stuck them into my router earlier but to no avail. :(
Won't be far off 6 hours with virtually no service now, not amused.

THINK AGAIN, for me now it is even worse as a greater number of my usual sites I access regularly are taking even
more refreshes to display and then a number of them are displayed as text format which then takes another refresh to correct. I cannot access speedtest.net at any server location without getting various errors.
I have flushed the DNS cache rebooted the router and as a last resort turned off the router and PC for several minutes. This is totally unacceptable, but I will shut down now and try it again tomorrow before making any decision.

Oddly enough, when I wasn't having issues, my sister was, and vice versa. We're on the same exchange, but about half a mile away from each other.
I think I'll reboot my router in a mo as I'm still having problems loading things.
cheers mate for them open dns numbers, internet working again for me
I think OpenDNS is worth a try but it is not a solution for everyone, I have no issues currently with IDNet DNS
Reboot no help for me. Can't access Steam store, and copy protection based within, so I can't play any games I want to :( Deviant art isn't loading, Facebook is having issues as is pretty much any site I look at now.
No disaster as I can get on the couple of sites I need to before I log off, but I think I'll just unplug my router for the night when I go to bed.
{edit} Now cannot log into MSN Messenger or hotmail. That is a pain in the arse, as I needed that. Ah well, might as well go to bed early and watch a film!
{edit 2} I'm now having issues seeing this forum!
Just dropped in here and saw this slight curfuffle about the lack of internet :whistle:.
I monitor both my IDnet lines via the Thinkbroadband service. Both lines showed they (edit) lost contact with the outside world today, but I've not experienced any issues since this on one of the lines (the other is an office line so not using it this weekend).
Here's the graphs showing both drops:
http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/share/d61c677a77b2bea640cc5401a183b5ac.html
http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/share/fb61cbda7e641dee6ef7353322a8bc40.html
The lines are on different exchanges. I use OpenDNS here (out of interest).
That second graph is almost an exact copy of mine :D
I'd be surprised if you actually lost sync, those two red spikes were IDNet rebooting routers.
Now seems to be working OK for me during the last 30 mins or so, the site that gave the most trouble was Amazon, simply could not get it to load properly.
Had the same problems as everyone else this morning then the internet was absolutely flying for a couple of hours around midday. Come in from the garden and nearly all sites I tried to go to were a problem to resolve. Hopefully Simon has got it all sorted out now :fingers:
I saw open DNS working for someone else so was about to give it another go out of interest but of course I tried to open some sites again first and touch wood back in business, MSN signed in again too. Didn't expect a fix till tomorrow.
Credit where its due.
You're right Bill - I should have said showing "a lack of connection"...
Can't check for certain as a brown out about 3 hrs ago has reset the router... :D
Urgh I am experiencing a lot of lag when browsing websites. Speedtest returns a normal result so I'm not sure what the problem is or if its related to today's work. Hopefully it will have magically fixed itself by tomorrow.:)

Spoke too soon, now having all sorts of problems again. Took several attempts to get on here :eyebrow:
I'm on opendns settings 'now' have had the problems much like everyone else all afternoon/day.. found it was a name server issue mid evening, so switched to direct IP's on my teamspeak etc, then later did the open dns.
Whats the update on the actual work? finished or still presenting issues?
Struggling here now too. Internet like wading through treacle on sone sites, but ironically, IDNetters loads quicker than most.

Same here Simon, I used my landline to make the call I needed to on Skype, Open DNS sorts the issues out but tbh its late and I cannot be bothered, almost time to put the mac to sleep and forget about this till morning.
That's what I'll be doing soon, Gary.

Maybe it just needs time for the DNS to propagate properly but many of my iphone apps are bugging out without good connections as well *sigh* and even the bbc site is having issues now and again.
It sounds like I'm one of the lucky ones. I've had one site that I had to refresh twice and I still have a few email issues but other than that, everything has been fine all day.
No problems here as well, just had an error message around 1500 till 1600 and after that everything worked as usual.
My router has been reconnecting like a b***h today too.. in the last hour or so its' disconnected me and reconnected , forcing me out of World of Warcraft (which i was playing at the time) and have had to wait for the reconnect.
This kind of problem i've had before, but today has just made it worse.
Its abysmal tbh.
Things still feel a bit "sticky" this morning when browsing, better than last night though. Mail takes a while to send too.
I tried my connection at 7:22 this morning before going to work and it was awful. Could barely open any webpages. Not even close to getting BBC site to load or facebook. I've unplugged the router while I'm at work so hopefully it'll be fixed when I've got back from the gym at 8ish. I hope!
