Well I had my router unplugged so I have no idea, thought I would give it a night off for once

well it works hard and never has a day off.....bit like someone in a trainer factory in Indonesia

So I thought I should set an example to other routers in my area and let it have the night off

So by doing that the work would not have happened of course

Well my PPoA was down for 64mins last night.. Logs didnt show nothing thou.

Glenn · Mar 04, 2008, 08:29:10

I had to reboot my router this morning, but I got a bonus from it, an extra 100kbs in connection rate, not enough to raise my profile though.

So my routers little sleep was worth while after all

Rik · Mar 04, 2008, 08:47:26

I wonder if this is work which only affected some parts of the BT network. I also gave my router the night off, so all I can say is I gained some speed this morning.

I think you could be right, Rik, nothing appears to have happened here, nothing in the logs and my DSL and Internet uptime are showing 18 days.

Rik · Mar 04, 2008, 09:06:30

The wording of the BT advice was so vague, Ray, that it was anyone's guess as to what was going to happen. One day, we'll take no notice and they'll do something major.

Noreen · Mar 04, 2008, 10:11:01

I left my router on as usual and this morning it says that it's been connected for 104 hours and there's nothing in the logs for last night/this morning.

Rik · Mar 04, 2008, 10:13:12

Well, we know something happened, Noreen, but so far BT seem to have targeted only Paul. Now, he's had a previous overnight drop with the rolling programme, so I wonder if the two events are linked?

madasahatter · Mar 04, 2008, 10:15:58

Is it anything to do with Geographical location? Here in Hoobland (or Yorkshire as the rest of the country calls it

) nothing seems to have happened at all. Or does that mean that nasty old BT simply forgot about us?

Rik · Mar 04, 2008, 10:16:45

It means BT are keeping you on the piece of wet string.

madasahatter · Mar 04, 2008, 10:20:21

Sounds about right

Rik · Mar 04, 2008, 10:21:55

Be grateful, here in Milton Keynes, all they can afford is a single thread...

BT always pick on me

Someone has to be the sacrificial lamb, Paul.

(How very Paschal of me

kinmel · Mar 05, 2008, 07:40:00

Lost my connection at 01.38am today, stayed sync'd , it reconnected immediately afterwards.

Rik · Mar 05, 2008, 08:43:01

Odd, maybe someone tripped over a cable at the exchange...

Inactive · Mar 05, 2008, 10:43:40

I had a blip at around that time as well, perhaps BT got the date wrong.

Gary · Mar 05, 2008, 10:45:03

No blips on the radar here, unless BT are doing it in shifts for areas around the country

Wouldn't be the first time, or it could just be the ongoing maintenance programme that runs until the 20th. That was supposed to bring a 20 minute downtime, but reports have all been of much shorter outages.

Gary · Mar 05, 2008, 10:46:40

Mine was 6 minutes, as you have said Rik, the twenty minutes is a cover all number in case of eventualities

Gary · Mar 06, 2008, 11:05:17

Had another blip last night just after midnight, no loss of sync but PPP again, this is getting quite regular
