Incredibly slow internet tonight

[silverblade]

I think the problematic node might be 195.66.224.125

EvilPC's traceroute seems to show a couple of timeouts on this node alone.
I've done several traceroutes now and this node or the ones after it start timing out.

A lookup on the IP shows that it is a LINX node, as previously mentioned.

Yep, very slow here still, from East Sussex.

[john]

Same here in Cheshire, currently unusable with most sites.

May as well have an early night and try again tomorrow.

[sobranie]

Treacle like in Cornwall. Is this the start of the prophecy that the internet will eventually slow to a halt? 

[Gary]

Painfully slow on some sites for me here

[zappaDPJ]

It seems to be getting worse which is not what I would have expected at this time of night. There must be a real bottleneck somewhere.

And up here in Aberdeen the internet has turned into porridge too. 

Same symptoms everyone else is experiencing.

I find it unbelievable that this issue is still ongoing and the IDNet status page is still showing "Good Service". AAISP posted the issue to their status page over two and a half hours ago, and posted an update over an hour ago with a temporary fix. I expect better from IDNet.

On a positive note, my backup 3G broadband is remarkably fast at this hour.

After a quick bit of searching, it also appears that Xilo and NewNet picked it up. The search was hardly exhaustive and I avoided checking larger companies for the sake of fairness. Both also have provided a fix until LINX resolve the issue. It is a shame IDNet have not put a fix in place or even noted that there is a problem.

Seems to be OK again now.

Hehe, I agree, my Three 3g stick came in use tonight 

[zappaDPJ]

I'm still having problems here.

[EDIT] Or maybe not, as soon as I posted that the website I was trying to connect to in another browser session resolved

I'm still getting a few problems but not as bad as earlier. I couple hard refreshes seems to force the site to load.

[zappaDPJ]

Yeah, I've just tried a few sites like YouTube and I'm getting text only content. Weird!

[Adam]

Everything seems fine for me now. Hopefully the issue has been resolved.

Get used to it. IDNet's status page is a joke, and their history of being proactive in keeping customers informed is similar. Speed, reliability of service: pretty good. Keeping customers informed: dire.

I long ago stopped posting on this forum because the pro-IDNet mafia jump on anyone with a factual but anti-IDNet complaint, but it really does speak volumes that AAISP and this forum are now the default methods for finding out about problems rather than IDNet itself.

On a positive note, no problems here in Sussex for the last hour.

[Simon]

That's funny, Dopamine, I thought you'd stopped posting here because you'd left IDNet, like you said you were going to, several times.

[Gary]

All ok here, now 

[sobranie]

Fine here too. 

[klipp]

Normal service has resumed.

[Rik]

It's the LINX effect.

[talos]

Mine dropped this morn about 8, but came straight back up again

[Rik]

Was that a router re-syc or something else, Bob?

[Ted]

Mine dropped this morn about 8, but came straight back up again

That's all very well but what about your internet connection?
