IDNet Internet connection issues 28/02

Ah well, ignore my last post

BT = Cowboys

A BT engineer who has been tasked to investigate the problem with the primary link that failed this morning, managed to break the backup link!
He has now restored that service and is still working on the primary link problem.
Bloody BT!

Thanks for the update Simon.

Better put the coffee on and get the extra blankets out then... going to be a long night it seems....

[psp83]

I'm going to restore a backup to the site I was updating and leave it for tonight as you can't trust BT not to take the connection down again 

[adrinux]

I'm never more glad I have a 3G device than at times like this
Lets hope BT get it fixed soon, without breaking anything else...

[zappaDPJ]

Most (but not all) sites are now resolving to the BTWholesale page again for me.

If any big updates, or any updates at all come along this evening I think Ill leave it till tomorrow. Time for TV/Book/whatever

Cheers, Simon.  Perhaps they should now be known as BBT!

No issues here Zap but that could change <sigh>

I was thinking or words I cant put in posts, Simon.

All the ones I've tried are OK, but one email (not an IDNet one) has timed out.


(edit- OK on next attempt)

I can't see any connectivity issues at present (apart for operating at reduced resiliency).

[zappaDPJ]

I reconnect (not rebooted) and that seems to have corrected the BTWholesale redirection problem for me.

[Bill]

reduced resiliency

An imaginative way to describe "zero"

IDNet network status page:

When trying to fix the primary broadband circuit BT managed to kill the backup circuit too. This dropped all customer connections!

They have now restored the backup circuit and are still working on the primary.

I seem to remember that they did the self same thing to IDNet a few years back!!

[Simon]

More than likely!

[zappaDPJ]

I reconnect (not rebooted) and that seems to have corrected the BTWholesale redirection problem for me.

But only for a few minutes. This has been driving me mad all evening. One minute a site is fine and then it's back to the BTWholesale page again. Reconnecting clears it but not for long. I'm going to try adding the DNS servers directly into TCP/IP settings. It's about all I can think of doing.

Some sites worked for me but many such as Yahoo and Skype were dead all afternoon.  It seems fine again now but I hope all is well for you this weekend.  I will be at Cricket St Thomas rocking to the sounds of Edison Lighthouse (one original member surviving). 

[Bill]

Well over 12 hours now and still not fixed... I wonder what the terms of IDNet's SLA are with BT?


(Apart fom confidential, of course )

[zappaDPJ]

There's still a lot of packet loss showing...

[Bill]

Not dissimilar to mine, and a fair bit of congestion:




(I know some people would kill for as little blue and yellow as we see, but that's their fault for going with rubbish ISPs )

Indeed

[psp83]

Hoping the packet loss gets better as everyone goes to bed, wanna do some TV catch up on 4OD



Can't do any streaming with that packet loss at the moment.

Interesting... all the BQM links seem to have gone down
