Who stole the internet?

[Niall]

According to my router I'm still connected but I can't access any sites as of about 15 minutes ago. I've rebooted the router twice with the same result, and now have it unplugged to try that. Everything was fine until 15 mins ago too, connected at nearly 14mb since I had that noise issue a few weeks ago that went away!

[sparky]

Yeah.

My router did exactly the same, stayed "connected" or so it thought but red light was on and no internet.

Down for about 15 mins.  All OK again now though.

[Gary]

Same here, just got back on.

Hi.

I had the same thing occur.  I have no alternative way of connecting to the internet when it goes down, but obviously it's come back up now because I am posting!!  It went down just after 9.30am, and has just returned.  Hope it stays that way!  I think (going by the live feed) there was some work going on??

Just noticed that there will be work on "Sunday 5th Spetember"  Luckily I can still use my phone to get on when needed.

I guess it just shows that we should have all read the announcements 

[Rik]

We did try. I've spoken to Simon, that should be the worst of it for the day.

[Niall]

Oops I knew about that, but thought it was yesterday

[Rik]

 

We really must get you a calendar, Niall.

Glad my wife didn't want to use the computer just yet, she just wants to turn it on and go straight online.  She gets quite aggravated when it doesn't work just like a TV.

Nah! It's today now.

[Baz]

saw Riks post about this but where does it mention it on IDNet site.I just remembered about it when I too had a drop at 9.35 am ish.

I'll warn Simon.

Top of the network status page and on the RSS feed, Baz.

[Baz]

  Rik.

do you think that will be it for today then.

[Rik]

There will be some anomalies until about 3, Baz, but hopefully, there won't be another total outage unless they have to reboot a router again.

[Baz]

what were they doing as some sites that were 'hanging' for me now seem ok      unless its all in the mind as I know something has been done 

[Rik]

They're replacing core routers (to meet customer growth) and one had to be re-booted after it went live.

They did mention some routing anomalies, I found a few USA sites very slow

Nice to see things being kept ahead of the game, Rik. It may be a placebo effect but things do feel more nippy 

[Baz]

thanks again.


yes I was on yahoo .com and it was slow

IDNet have always tried to provide the network before they need it, if you know what I mean, Gary.

I do indeed, does that mean they can get the Lottery results for next week?

[Rik]

They can. Right after the draw.

[Gary]

They can. Right after the draw.
