BB has been up and down in the Mansfield area today, 1 minute were live and the next dead..... Ho Hum.....

Re: reading area died
 

:eek: How did the conversation decay so rapidly that you called him stupid? I've had a few head-bangingly irritating CS calls in my time (not just with NTL) but I don't recall ever abusing the person I was talking to. :p:

Re: reading area died
 

Reading ... well it is up ...

But I'm finding random problems ... like sites I can not reach, but if I VPN into work I can then get them. DNS ?

Re: reading area died
 

Or your proxy. Try changing it.

Re: reading area died
 

nope does not appear to be that .. tried serveral....

But with or without proxy does work if I am connected through VPN to work and then go out via that link. Its only happening on certain sites (US ones) so I guess there is some problem NTL network wise.

Re: reading area died
 

My limited understanding of how the internet works would suggest that it's DNS then. That too is changeable, but public, trustworthy DNS can be a little harder to come by.

Re: reading area died
 

well he insisted i restart my computer i explained i didnt actually have a computer on or in fact in a state that i could turn it on - he asked how i knew my broadband wasnt working and i said because the lights where out and he insisted he couldnt assist me until i restarted my pc, i said having my pc on wouldnt affect the signal getting to me i could have the broadband plugged into a washing machine for all it cares its got no signal..this went on for a while and i gave in and pretended i restarted my pc

Re: reading area died
 

I see what you mean! :rolleyes: ;)

Re: reading area died
 

OK, so he was stupid :D

Re: reading area died
 

just doing his job i spose :)

Re: reading area died
 

oh and since its all back and working ive noticed it running slighly slower - web pages take longer to load and sometimes time out and my other d/ls are just crawling along ...

so maybe its not all fixed.

Re: reading area died
 

You'll get the odd issue when 9 UBRs go into lights-out management mode. Fixed pretty quickly, but it's possible the local caches got a hit as well.

Re: reading area died
 

well as with most ntl things i will ignore it and it will fix its self :)

Re: reading area died
 

FYI, there are general UK to US connectivity problems this afternoon. :)

Re: reading area died
 

still seems pretty slow - not sure where this site lives but took me a good 5 mins to work my way though page not found etc msgs :)

if its still bad by the morning i will cry :)

Re: reading area died
 

Newp they were ok, they are in Winnersh, not Reading Disti site :)

Think it unbalanced the uBRs tho as some CATV kit was upset by the probs + modems didn't come back online evenly. Should be ok by now though.

Re: reading area died
 

Spot on JustAnotherN00b. Modem counts per upstream were all over the place when the ubers first started accepting modems. They should have been re-aligned during the next couple of scheduled re-balancing scans. Every 30 mins the last time I heard ;)

Re: reading area died
 

so it should all be fixed then?

time for a restart of my modem then :)

Re: reading area died
 

there is still an DNS issue (not proxy) in my area (RG10) for certain US sites. VPN to work solves the problem (but thats not the point).

Unless the 'connectivity' issue between UK and US (mentioned above) is still ongoing?

Re: reading area died
 

watford area died last night ...
showing now on the status page.

Re: reading area died
 

Hmm

Still some strange problems

Anyone see this from their normal NTL network:

http://www.radiation-protection-onli...orum/index.php

I can not get the above, proxy or no proxy, but its fine via VPN to a different network. Still smacks of DNS probs?

Re: reading area died
 

works fine for me, I get proxied via Nottingham :)

Re: reading area died
 

hmmm I guess I should try that one then .... ?? thanks :)

Re: reading area died
 

visited that site ok.
handy to know,
i have some questions about a geiger counter.

That site may help, thanks.

Re: reading area died
 

They were fixed inside a few hours.

Re: reading area died
 

cool .. try here then :

www.ionactive.co.uk

(ask for some free advice from the expert ;) )

Re: reading area died
 

http://www.radiation-protection-onl...forum/index.php

CAn anyone else test the above now please ?

THis is madness ... its difficult enough to know if my uS servers are working, when I find that the Reading Area DNS / proxy whatever is not like it used to be. Even specifing a different proxy is now hit or miss ..

thanks

Re: reading area died
 

That link will never work - it's malformed.

Re: reading area died
 

oh bum ... it should be:

http://www.radiation-protection-onli...orum/index.php

I feel malformed

Re: reading area died
 

ok ... now anyone get

http://www.imperial.ac.uk

Something really strange is going on here...

Re: reading area died
 

The imperial college is working fine, the other one is returning a blank page with an http 404 status.

Re: reading area died
 

Both work fine here (Ntl Bedfordshire).

Re: reading area died
 

grrrrrrr - thanks - the COllege one is ok ...

What is going on. I'm sure the radiation-protection one ... etc is not an NTL issue (but my host says it is).

Stop it - can get the radiation one in Bedford.
I can not get it in Reading
I can not get it in London (on a non-NTL network).

It must be a DNS type problem , but at the host end in the US???!?

Re: reading area died
 

i can get imperial ok.
i can get ion-active ok
cant get to radiation-protection.

(yet)
