How ironic ... now that all you guys are having problems the speeds in Luton are fine ... just can't go to secure sites, receive email, gaming, ftp ... bargain at £34.99

Re: [Merged]-Major connection issues!

simply installing your own dns server will avoid all current and future DNS problems.... Ive always done my own dns lookups and havent suffered any issues (except maybe when the root servers were DoS'd, but then that affected a massive portion of the internet...

http://ntcanuck.com/downloads.htm Install Treewalk "Hawk"

Good documentation on there too.

Was just going to recommend that, it was a life saver when Bully's DNS were flakey before.

It's also annoying to people to see the same post (esp when they have already replied to it elsewhere)

It's like running up to several people one after the other asking them the same question...
