New one to me, David, what were you trying to access at the time?

David · Sep 06, 2009, 17:41:44

I was acessing the forum thats all I wonder if this is a BT thing normally I would get page not displayed ,but unplugged and back on I came.It did slow down and page timed out.I am wondering if along with the BT test this is something new

at the exchange that is

Rik · Sep 06, 2009, 17:44:08

I tried accessing the IP address directly, and got the same page, so I wonder if something happened to your DNS and it resolved wrongly. Best ask A&A, David.

David · Sep 06, 2009, 17:46:21

not again I'm still in medication from the last time

Wonder if this is the issue ?

Rik · Sep 06, 2009, 17:54:51

It sounds a bit like the problem IDNet had with IPv6.

David · Sep 06, 2009, 17:57:27

Ah well its ok now but posted just in case anyone else gets that as its a new one on me

john · Sep 06, 2009, 18:11:44

Some people just can't take a hint

David · Sep 06, 2009, 18:15:07

I've seen that before. When I was with Nildram and they basically ran out of bandwidth and were sharing pipes with Newnet, when you logged into Nildram you'd see that page (or similar) or get a really bad connection. You'd then have to switch to the Newnet login.

Rik · Sep 08, 2009, 18:11:14

Thanks, Niall.

I had this error page a couple of times recently with IDNet.

It always happened when I was surfing, and the downstream seemed to get stuck. I assumed it was BT working on the line.

After rebooting I was still disconnected from IDNet but synced o.k. with exchange.

Rik · Sep 09, 2009, 10:19:03

Possibly a stale session. BT do seem to be doing a lot of unannounced engineering work - often creating problems in the process.

David · Sep 09, 2009, 10:22:55

I'm shocked to learn this

Rik · Sep 09, 2009, 10:25:49

As are we all...

David · Sep 10, 2009, 12:53:10

Just got back online got that page again but there has been a major outage for me went down at 12.10 and just reconnected.....BT dont you just love em

Rik · Sep 10, 2009, 12:55:48

Anything from A&A, David?

David · Sep 10, 2009, 13:03:52

All well now

Rik · Sep 10, 2009, 13:08:45

So an A&A issue made worse by the interface with BT.

I know from IDNet that some BT circuits just don't recognise the disconnection, leading to a stale session problem. That's why we often give the advice to power down the router for up to 15 minutes.

David · Sep 10, 2009, 13:15:32

Thats what I did,it hasnt affected my speed though

Rik · Sep 10, 2009, 15:36:06

Small mercies, David.

David · Sep 10, 2009, 18:59:09

You looked again didnt you

Rik · Sep 10, 2009, 18:59:54

I couldn't help it.

David · Sep 10, 2009, 19:00:52

How long were you in the navy ?

Rik · Sep 10, 2009, 19:02:23

Many years, then I decided that black suited me better.

David · Sep 10, 2009, 19:09:12

With the pink crevat of course

Rik · Sep 10, 2009, 19:11:55

I used to wear cravats, but now I just wear a beard, it does the same job and never has to be re-tied.

David · Sep 10, 2009, 19:14:37

I wore one as well paisly it was and god only knows what I was thinking wearing this.

Also a Dr Kildare/Monkees pink shirt

Rik · Sep 10, 2009, 19:15:49

For some reason, I've never gone for pink, or any pastel shades. I like a full-bodied, deep-dyed, colour. Preferably black.

David · Sep 10, 2009, 19:18:30

I think I was ahead of my time......I had posters of Quiten Chrisp on my walls

Rik · Sep 10, 2009, 19:19:32

I just had posters of Golden Wonder.

Ray · Sep 10, 2009, 19:21:14

Now it's printouts of DR web pages.

Rik · Sep 10, 2009, 19:22:20

Printouts! I've got the original models hanging around the room.

David · Sep 10, 2009, 19:22:36

I still have Quintin

You have done it again hav'nt you

Cant be any fairer than this can you ?again it highlight BTs failure and what it is doing to smaller isps

Rik · Sep 11, 2009, 13:26:41

Doesn't it just, David. Curiously, since the last MK node outage, my pings have improved by 4ms, as reported by the router and in tests. Which suggests to me that BT hadn't built a circuit correctly in the first place.

Ray · Sep 11, 2009, 13:29:05

Seems BT have again got problems in parts of London according to Idnet Status Page.

Edit: Link fixed

Rik · Sep 11, 2009, 15:37:40

They really are making a hash of things atm, Ray.

Ray · Sep 11, 2009, 15:39:14

Aren't they just, Rik, there ought to be some heads rolling eventually.

Rik · Sep 11, 2009, 15:44:36

Why wait, let's start now.

Ok, Rik, who's going to wield the axe.

Rik · Sep 11, 2009, 15:47:54

I would imagine that many ISPs would be queuing up for the chance, Ray.

Ray · Sep 11, 2009, 15:49:37

Indeed.
