314143 2005-01-15 05:32:00 Xtra's help-desk just confirmed for me that it "has had, & still has, problems sending/receiving email this morning" (as @ 10 40am,15Jan).
They have a web site link "Current Network Status" For the past 2 hours it reports "There are currently no known problems with the Xtra Network." Could somebody with influence in that dozy-house wake the Current Status Manager up and give him/her some ACTION pills?
Mine came right,now it has packed up again,am I alone?

Such blanket statements are reserved for things that I myself am biased against.

I am easy to confuse,didn't you say you had trouble with xtra?

Can we assume friend is not having trouble?

314148 2005-01-15 06:34:00 Belated Thanks for the info in this thread. One very worried neighbour on Xtra was easily calmed down. I'm on ClearNet so had no idea.

314149 2005-01-15 06:43:00 I couldn't surf the net or recieve e-mails at all today.
It was driving me nuts 'cause I thought the fault was with my PC.
Ran 2 anti-virus programs, nothing, tried Ad-Aware SE, nothing.
This is the first time I've had trouble with Xtra and I don't plan on changing.

314150 2005-01-15 07:05:00 I've only just been able to get back online since about 9 this morning. I too thought perhaps my comp had gone belly up, but the beauty of having multiple OS'es is that if they ALL can't connect, I know it's not my problem. (after making sure the modems operating ok).

Pretty woeful service if you ask me. Surely Xtra must have *some* sort of backup plan for moments like these. I reserve my judgement though.
