Title: Awful service recently
Post by: Westy on Mar 14, 2011, 22:34:24
Over the past week I have been suffering constant disconnects (Ranging from 6+ in one hour, to just 3 or 4 a day), slow speeds, and still packet loss(still).

Anyone else having the same problem? If I am the only one then I guess I will start uploading all my test results again.

Westy,I don't know of any widespread IDNet issues recently.

Are the disconnects syn or ppp? I've going to guess sync which means it's a problem local to your line between your exchange and your house.

Check in the router logs, that should throw some light on it. Also, is it the Broadband or internet light on the router that changes during a disconnect? The internet light would generally be a PPP issue.

Sorry to ask more questions, but posting your router stats might also be useful, then someone can hopefully help you in the morning.

It's definitely a local problem, Westy, you're losing sync. What else is connected to the phone line?

I thought "lcp down" was a loss of connectivity to the ISP?

I thought that sequence was typical of a Netgear resync, Ted. Routerstats is called for. ;)

It is usually but I don't think modern Netgears can tell the difference in the log

Haven't used a Netgear for many years, so you're probably both right. I expect support would know for sure.

Either way, its a local issue. If its just PPP then its going to be work at the exchange or on the route to IDNet (given there isn't widespread reports, I expect exchange work), if its sync, then its between exchange and user.

As has been said, running routerstats should give the answer.
