| 324747 | 2005-02-14 08:12:00 | TradeMe and some other websites namely stuff.co.nz were having problems as a routing link went down. As far as I know this caused traffic from almost all major ISP's (Xtra, Slingshot, Quicksilver, Orcon) to go down. Only Paradise/TelstraClear customers were able to access it. This is not an ISP problem though. I was under the impression it was fixed now as I can access it. Ash Can I add a funny to this story, all phones in this house were out of action, Telecom said they were working on the fault. Using ADSL I was on the net to trademe most of the day, how is this possible? Ron.. |

| 324754 | 2005-02-14 23:58:00 | However, cutting through a cable effectively stops both ADSL and voice. ;) ADSL and voice use the same "wires". | Graham L (2) | ||
