just had a drop in connection for a few minutes there, anyone else?

[Glenn]

All fine here Baz

[talos]

I had one when I first tried to log on, router re-boot seemed to cure it

[Bill]

Same here.

PPP dropped at about 08:15, picked up an IP of 172.16.72.28 for about 10 minutes then reconnected correctly.

I wasn't around, that's from the router log.

Yep, same problem here, like Bill I picked up a 172.16.x.x address but a router restart cured it

[Bill]

As far as I can tell that IP is a "Private LAN" one, not sure if the router or the computer provides it.

I'm pretty sure IDNet don't!

[Glenn]

Comes up as IANA

No problems here, either.

[Simon]

None here either.

I've been out all day, but the router log is showing the same thing happening again at about 2o/c this afternoon. There was another oddity a few days ago when my tbb Broadband Quality meter showed a sudden drop in ping times. TBB denied all knowledge, and didn't see it on their IDNet connection.

I reckon BT are playing around again...

[Rik]

I've just had repeated re-syncs over a spell of six minutes, including one the 2700 has flagged as inconsistent signal.  It certainly looked like BT were kicking something at the exchange.

[Bill]

No loss of sync here, just PPP, lasting about 10 minutes. Routing changes?

[Gary]

Loss of sync here as well once about four hours ago and one this morning

[Rik]

I don't know, Bill, we all seem to be seeing something slightly different. I've alerted support. My WBC line seems to have become unusable.

[Bill]

My PPP dropped just after 6 and is still down, this is from a neighbour's line.

Sync is OK, but IP returned is in the aforementioned 172 range.

Rebooting the router didn't help, nor did swapping the 3Com for the spare 2700.

I've left a message on the 0800 answering machine.

I'll come back when my PPP does!!!

[Wingnutz]

Bill,

I'm down as well - have reported in the 'bad connection' thread.

Do you think it's connected ??

[flinty]

Same problem for me. synch OK but no access to web. Been like it since early evening. Using 3G dongle at the moment.

Left my Netgear route off for 40 minutes earlier but came back just the same. On 01604 - Northampton number so not the Manchester problem

[Steve]

I've had a look round but can't find any corresponding BT outages at the moment.All I can suggest is leaving a message for support.

[Steve]

From Idnet Network status page.

2010-03-13 21:12: Some customers are unable to login. BT have identified a routing / authentication problem this evening. They are aware of the issue but have not yet identified the cause. (Copied here as well http://www.idnetters.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=19272.msg460000#msg460000)

[Bill]

Came back up here about half past midnight, Network status was updated a few minutes later.

Update: 2010-03-14 00:37: BT have fixed the routing issue and all customers are now authenticating correctly. The issue appears to have been caused by a failure on one of our Gigabit connections to BT. An engineer is on site testing the circuit now.

[Niall]

I saw my line drop yesterday morning with similar things happening as mentioned above. I didn't do much online yesterday though so I don't know if there was much of a problem with it, although I saw my download profile drop a bit and upload increase after a reboot. According to my router it's been connected since then (just under 25 hours ago).

[Sarah]

My connection dropped last night and again around an hour ago, intermittent but unable to load any web pages at all when it's down.

My TBB Quality monitor snapshot seems to reflect last night's drop (if that's a correct interpretation of this graph?) it has not updated quite far enough to see if it reflects a drop around 9.00am. this morning:




edit:  no router reboots over this period.

2nd edit: I should explain that as I understand it, a Thinkbroadband quality monitor snapshot, posted here, will update until midnight and then stop.

3rd edit (needed to explain the graph as it refreshes): It is odd that my intermittent loss of connection around 9.00 a.m. today has not shown up on this graph, however due some continuing problems at this end I did reboot the router around 10.10 a.m. and this will show up as a red band on the graph.

[Bill]

Yup, that's the correct interpretation.

Looks like mine (cba'd to link to it), though the timings of the brief drops are different.

[Steve]

At around 9.00 am presumably you lost PPP and not sync.
