Re: Internet Keeps going offline for a few mins - NB, Problem has returned

Well Let me tell U what I get, prob same as rest of Scunthorpe i imagine - the modem lights Stay on for definate, no errors in the modem log. Now your browsing a site say - PAGE NOT FOUND - hit refresh and evenatually page comes up.

MSN - Keeps going offline, though you dont know its gone offline straight away - so you contine chatting then you get a list of "This cannot be sent as you are not signed in". Happens like all the time, very annoying to say the least.

Downloads, Stop randomly as it looses all internet connection, yet the modem as i said is still online. Playing Games (online obiously), either Lag or you get booted all the time, makes playing online games a watse of time.

First time it happened, was fixed magicly but no-one ever told us what was wrong or how they fixed it. Second time, now its one of the following depends on who you beleive I guess:
  • Oversubbed UBR - area needs Re-Seg
  • UBR Loosing Packets or something (maybe its got a leak?)
  • Magic Elfs biting the cables in the street (LOL)
Anyhow, we in scunthorpe are getting a bit sick to be honest, did i mention a lot of Scunthorpe can Get ADSL no problem upto 2mbit anyhow??? Is that why NTL Let me pay £17.99 a month for 3 months when i last said cut me the hell off? I was going to stick with NTL to be honest as 37.99 although not happy with, still happy i guess i get 1.5mbit/256 - would jump to 750 but the 128 upload is not my bag baby....

Does that help?
