IDNet maintenance - Saturday, January 12, 2008

[Rik]

Please post any problems or comments in this thread. Thanks.

(The announcement is here.)

[Sebby]

Is this going to improve things? I can't imagine things could get any better... 

[psp83]

was going to ask the same.. will we notice anything or is it just to future proof things?

[Simon_idnet]

I don't think that anyone will notice any difference but you probably would in a few months' time if we did nothing now.

Cheers
Simon

Ah, forward planning -

Ah, forward planning

It's one of the things we like about IDNet, they don't wait until they have the problem to get it fixed, but rather prevent the problem in the first place!

[Simon]

Indeed!

I am having a few problems to certain website like IMDB and AVforums, but maybe its something my end?

[Rik]

I can't get to the BBC, ThinkBroadband, Digital Spy, PC Pals, but I can get to Nationwide, DigiGuide, Sky Sports. I've just queried whether that's what Simon means by anomalies.

Hi

None of those work for me either.

[Rik]

I've just noticed we've never welcomed you properly to the forum, very remiss of us. Have a karma.   

[tigermad]

Thanks Rik 

I love IDNET, best ISP I have ever had. I dont mind a little down time on certain sites for maintenance, its not the end of the world.

[Ann]

Well I'm not happy.  I've just been kicked off and reconnected at a synch rate of 6688.. I was at 8096.  I do hope this isn't going to be permanent.

[Rik]

That's nothing to do with the maintenance work, Ann, they are working 'internally', so it will have had no effect on your connection to the exchange. It could be BT work, or a bad burst of noise.

Even better, it's not so much maintenance as upgrade.

[Wingnutz]

I'm not getting the BBC either or liverpoolfc.tv. Skysports tempremental.

That's all i've tried so far.

I've just been kicked off and had to reconnect too. I am finding many sites inaccessible. I believe it's down to IDNet.

Just lost my DSL connection as well, about 3/4 minutes.

Would it not possible to e-mail customers where planned maintenance is being carried out? It would avoid the 'is the router, the ISP or BT' question that immediately comes to mind when internet access is lost.  

[Rik]

That seems a few too many to be a coincidence, In, yet the work that's being done shouldn't cause a re-sync for anyone. I'll see if I can get any more info.

Notices were placed here and on ThinkBroadband yesterday, however there's nothing on the IDNet website which is, perhaps, an oversight.

I'll mention the email suggestion.

[Phil123]

I can't get to quite a few websites or Purple Cloud's email servers.

Just had a look out of my window, no Openreach vans at my " local " exchange.
