1.58 am exactly.

Inactive · Apr 11, 2008, 02:13:16

Got cut off from the net again, exactly 1.58 am, same as last week, exact same time, only off for around 10 minutes.

Strange??

madasahatter · Apr 11, 2008, 08:33:16

Very strange In - it's not accompanied by any strange noises is it? Bumps in the night or anything like that?

Rik · Apr 11, 2008, 09:00:25

It sounds like BT going bump in the night, In.

Malc · Apr 11, 2008, 09:07:56

That's the time the Hoobs in on Channel 4...

Simon · Apr 11, 2008, 10:33:41

It's a sign, In, saying...

GO TO BED!!!

Very. Are you losing sync or just the PPP session?

Inactive · Apr 11, 2008, 14:00:28

Sync Seb...at least this time I didn't get a speed drop.

I have racked my dim grey matter to try to find a link to the time, the only one that I have come up with is Windows Defender daily update, it updates at around that time. I cannot see how the two can be related, however I have now switched off WD update, so see what happens.

Thanks.

Rik · Apr 11, 2008, 14:37:44

It wouldn't be something like storage heaters switching on, would it, In?

Inactive · Apr 11, 2008, 14:41:22

It is a possibility Rik, as I have said before, my Economy 7 clock is running slow, and yes they do come on around that time, but I thought at 1.50am, but I may be wrong.

I will check that out, the one in the hall has a light on the fused spur, so easy to see exactly when they kick in.

Rik · Apr 11, 2008, 14:43:39

The sort of mains 'thump' that storage heaters switching produces could just explain it. Or maybe not - see Tim's announcement on yet more BT engineering work. I get the strong impression that this is an overrun from the previous batch.

Inactive · Apr 11, 2008, 14:52:27

Indeed Rik, it could well do I suppose, I will certainly keep a check on it.

I read Tims Announcement, I agree, I suspect that " ongoing " until further notice may have been more applicable from BT.

Rik · Apr 11, 2008, 15:02:54

Agreed, I suspect it should also read, "Oh, and we've been having a bit of a tinker for the past couple of weeks, but it wasn't so widespread that we could be bothered to tell you..."

Inactive · Apr 11, 2008, 15:04:22

Exactly, whilst annoying the living daylights out of some customers.

Rik · Apr 11, 2008, 15:06:33

Not to mention support staff. There really is a strong case for separating out the infrastructure as with the rail system.

Inactive · Apr 11, 2008, 15:07:58

That would be ideal, however, I think we both know that it ain't gonna happen any time soon.

Rik · Apr 11, 2008, 15:08:57

It might, if it was politically expedient... No, you're right, not in my lifetime.

Sebby · Apr 11, 2008, 18:18:26

I suspect something like heating too. The fact that the time is identical every morning would suggest it might not be BT for once!

Oi! I've got the copyright on that one Rik! That'll be royalties of one Mars Bar if you please.

Rik · Apr 11, 2008, 18:45:43

I just like to spread the word, Bruce.

Malc · Apr 11, 2008, 19:24:53

I think it's Mrs In is pulling the plug out the socket, time for bed

Dont mention Talk Talk !! · Apr 11, 2008, 22:42:28

check and see which programme is on Television X at that time , maybe the router just cannot deal with the pent up sexual tension in Inactive`s living room at that time ................
