Another lost connection

[Rik]

You can probably understand that I'm sceptical that BT waited for me to join IDNet before starting work that disrupted connections to my network - especially since, looking back in the forums, other people on IDNet were having similar disconnection problems while I was still crawling slowly along with Pipex - without disconnections.

BT started the work in February and were meant to have finished it by March 20, however, we know there is still work going on. What we are saying to you is that the best people to talk to are IDNet, who can try and fix things for you. Moaning in here will not improve matters. In the course of your migration, it's entirely possible that you were moved to a different VP at the exchange (it happened to me), and if you had been LLUd, you will, of course, have a different physical connection now. We're talking technology here and, from time to time, glitches happen. However irritating they are, they're not aimed at you personally and, in the majority of cases, they can be resolved. If they can't for you, then you're only on a one month contract, and can move again quite easily.

It's not fair, I never get any of these disconnections.

( I now wait for my connection to die )..

I'll be round with the wire cutters, In.

  No problem Rik, I can soon run an extension lead to my exchange..

A nice bit of fibre, patched to the backhaul... Sweet.

I wish.... I have aluminium, like you.

[Rik]

Though a lot less of it.

Your all lucky..

I have trains on my line.

and i found out yesterday that i mean the above literally...

[Rik]

Is it routed under the tracks, Dean?

Another signal failure, was it?

[g7pkf]

Worse the line is on the underneath of a bridge apx 3 metres from the overhead electric cables (all of them)

bring on fibre to the village

[Rik]

That would help us all.

It may well be the line re- training..

Thought that may do the trick Rik.




Oh, a poet as well.

[Rik]

Just call me Nixon.

I assume BT are still working on their systems, I had another couple of losses of ppp overnight, anyone else noticed anything?

[Rik]

Nothing here, Ray. Might be worth dropping support an email, particularly if you can copy your router log to them.

[madasahatter]

No troubles here either  8)

Thanks, Rik, have just dropped them an email.

Spoke too soon, lost connection for about 5 minutes at 02.40 hours, all OK again now.

I had a couple within the last four days, all PPP again, I will call support and see what they say but its getting annoying now, even if it is only briefly

[Rik]

I sense that the planned engineering works have over-run, but that BT aren't admitting it.
