Short Outage - Early Friday morning - Anyone else?

BT seem to have been up to an abnormally high amount of maintenance lately (anti-maintenance? unmaintenance?)

Rik · May 27, 2011, 12:20:33

Trouble making?

They'll try anything except spending money.

I'm glad that I don't have any of this going on any more, LLU is soooooo much better

Rik · May 27, 2011, 12:38:35

Unless it's with Talk Talk.

I think their customers are OK till something goes wrong, that's when they regret changing over. Thankfully I have someone else to ear bend should the need arise.

Just noticed that it is 11 months today on LLU without a single ISP/supplier fault, the one issue was a fibre break due to a lorry taking out lines in an accident.

ANything to do with This Some problems going on.

Rik · May 27, 2011, 12:44:38

Not as far as I know, Alf, this was a specific BT-to-IDNet problem.

esh · May 27, 2011, 18:44:46

I had to endure Opal/TalkTalk for a year somewhere, that was pretty bad. I think it averaged about 1-3 hours of downtime per week, with every other month having a 6 hours+ fault.

Rik · May 27, 2011, 18:45:11

Ouch.

I'm not sure, tbh. There definitely are BT radius servers, but whether they're reciprocated on the IDNet side I don't know.

I think the BT Radius servers check the bit after @ in the username (the realm) and direct the traffic toward the relevant ISP's hostlink provided of course that ISP has a contract with BT for that particular user's xDSL circuit.

That is my understanding anyway.

Only just spotted this.

Same thing happened on my FTTC connection. I just assumed it was me!

I wasn't aware of it but checking back now I appear to have suffered similar for three nights 25-27 May (Brentwood Exchange):-

You can't post HTML links in the forum, you need to choose the "forum" code from the list at TB.

This is what you want.

Are those disconnects from you setting the router up? Or is it a sign someone trying to communicate in morse code Dorset?

joe · May 28, 2011, 09:43:29

What are disconnects

....... they aren't mine Ben, I just corrected the links Joe posted earlier.

Having started this thread, I apologise for not having contributed again. Family matters got in the way.

I finally found that my router was going faulty, in that after being on for many hours, it seemed to lose internet connectivity. The link to the DSLAM in the local exchange was OK but the internet layer above that seemed to be failing. It was only a cheap standby router and it is now packaged up for return to Amazon.

Like many people in the similar thread, I experienced the drop out at 3am in the morning a day or two ago, and yesterday afternoon like others, experienced what seems to have been some form of DNS error, lasting about 10 minutes.

Thanks to everyone for replying.
