256570	2004-07-30 01:14:00	Update: Connection now at dial up speed :( Spoke to Orcon, they advise that there is a problem with a Telecom 'Ran' (what's that?) and have changed the Ran I connect to. Telecom's help page says there is an unscheduled outage. grrr	Jester (13)

With this I assumes it was Paradise system rebooting or something. I left it to its own devices and when I came back an hour later it was connected again.	Big John (551)

What I did notice was the router rebooting, all the lights would come on (pwr, diag, lan, ?? and dsl), 5 in all when I have only ever seen 4 before, the manual says there are 4 then id would die and slowly go through its start up routine. No messages of power outages from my UPS. Went into the routers setup, all was fine, hit home and I was into PF1 in a flash, real strange?? I suspect Telecom fiddling around with the switching somwhere along the line. Cheers Murray P	Murray P (44)

It has a look inside XTRA HQ According to it it's a Random Access Node, and it sits between the DSL equipment and the Router.	Megaman (344)
