Is anyone else experiencing problems with IDNet's DNS servers?
A few months ago I had a recurring issue where I was being continually redirected to BT Wholesale's splash screen http://62.6.38.125/index.html
I'm having the same problem this morning but unlike previous occasions, connecting via Google's DNS settings seems to have resolved the issue.
OK at present from my quick test. I see that there's been a brief service loss at 02.30 according to the status pages.
Thanks Steve, my router log seems to indicate that I didn't reconnect straight away. I'm not sure if that's the cause of my DNS issues or if it's a more local issue.
:dunno:No service here
Not seeing anything currently . I would suggest David a 30min router power down and try again if that fails call support.
BTW on the mobile the WAP site is sometimes quicker and easier http://www.idnetters.co.uk/forums/index.php?wap2
I was trying the WAP link earlier but couldn't get it to resolve. I think I forgot about the '2' at the end :blush: Thanks again Steve :thumb:
Got back after shutting down the router all s well now :thumb:
Ignore this, error
???
:blush: Sorry Ray
Slip of the fingers? David. ;D
BT are really screwing things up far too often of late. >:(
All I had was the bt page I have no idea what happened and if the DNS affected here :dunno:

Company in disarray or trying to cause problems for competitors?
I sense that they've got the design of the 21CN network badly wrong, Mitch, and as more people move to it, the failings are showing.
Best they fix them before next Tuesday. ;)
Whats happening next Tuesday?
Sue's going to the Isle of Man. ;)
What food quest have you sent the poor lass on this time Rik?
;D
None, she's going over to try and resolve care issues for the mother.
Ah right.
Not even a Bonnag?

When it it Glenn cant wait to see how it goes and how happy you will be :no: on the other hand !!! :eek4:
My current connection runs at around 2.3mb, so an estimated 28mb connection will feel like moving from dialup again.

:fingers: :thumb: Cant wait to see the review Glenn I have to wait I think until Sept /Oct I think it was changed from March :bawl:
My date was changed from March to september, then to no date, now it's available. :dunno:
Oh thats hopeful Glenn perhaps I will get lucky as well,but without straying off topic will this new service be a good thing for Idnet ?I have been thinking and wondering if they might not be able to competer in the new market well for the domestic market at any rate I would think the big names will be swimmng around but I guess its no different from LLU but it boils down to cost I do hope Idnet stays in the same postition when it comes to this new service
I believe that the 21CN connections represent a saving to them over the 20CN, so the more they can move to ADSL2+ & FTTC the better for the overheads.
:thumb: thats a relief ;DI should get out more

You'll not know what to do with it. I suggest just uploading and downloading some Linux distros just for the thrill of it! ;D

:thumb: Wow Glenn thats amazing ,what is it like to have this at your disposal ? I need a report it looks brilliant
I don't know, I'm at work now :bawl:
:lol: Drive slowly home not like your speedy connection ;D
I await your reviews later :thumb:
He'll have no time to do reviews, there's all that HD video to watch.

Ahh but you can stream films from lovefilm much more smoothly and upload to youtube or watch the HD 1080P stuff on there with ease, and have better video conversations, I really need full LLU :bawl:
Thats made me happy Gary as I do none of thes things at the moment butbe patient lad you will get all that soon , ;D
I dont even know what a video conversation is !!! the phone is bad enough :D

;D I have friends abroad and family so I chat using my built in vid camera so its as close as you can get to being in the same room as you can see and hear each other, helps when you are stuck in doors a lot. Sadly the only way I'll get these services to perform better is if I leave IDNet as our exchange has not even got a date for WBC, its to small to be bothered with. At some point I'll have to go with Xilo to get the speeds I need. Holding out here as long as I can though.
Edit, your signature made me spill my coffee it made me laugh so much
That makes sense now . mine is set for around Sept this year but in my case and to be honest I dont use my set up for freinds as I have none as in the way you describe and I really dont watch the films either on rare occasions I go and buy the odd film at the moment Made In Dagenham looks good but I will take a look in Sainsburys or Tesco but wouldnt go out my way for it.
So in my case I get download speeds of around 5 Mb at the moment and I cant see what great difference it will make for someone like me I guess i greatly under use my pc but cant see how super speeds will change anything for me or people like me :dunno:
I an see why you want it and really hope it is sooner rather than later
Now about that coffee ;D
Fibre wouldn't change my life either at present although the download speeds would save a bit of time.
