| 95116 | 2002-11-01 22:07:00 | Off tpic bit >shipload ......is what a spellchecker once told me in responce to me typing something a little differant. Seeing the spellcheck was a M$ office product, and we all know that Big Bill is always right, i have spelt my word that way ever since. On topic bit All ISPs have bad days... (even mine) Still, i'd check your end.. By memory the few times that ihug were unable to connect me, there was a recorded message, not a buzy signal, and the spontanious disconnect sounds alot like problems at home. .Clueless |

| 95118 | 2002-11-02 00:10:00 | >>they seemed to think that everyone was an idiot until they proved otherwise Well, for a bit of light entertainment on the subject go listen to: Welcome to the Internet Help Desk (artists.mp3s.com) Incidentally, I tried to post this this morning but ihug were dropping the connection almost faster than I could connect. Left it for a couple of hours and now, fingers crossed, it's working. Why can't they show problems on their home page? If there was a message saying "We have problems - give us an hour or two" (with an estimated time) it would be far less frustrating! Did get to their page, briefly, and it sits their smugly not warning of problems. Do I assume it is me and restart? Do I disconnect and try again? Do I give up for a while? - or do I try all of the above? I wish the technicians would THINK about communicating with customers! |

| 95119 | 2002-11-02 02:24:00 | > Join Kiwibank - http://www.kiwibank.co.nz/ Why would you want to? I took one of my kids to the postshop to open her first bank account. When we finally got to the front of the queue, I was told I had to make an appointment for an interview to open a Kiwibank account. We went over the road to the ASB where an account was opened in a few minutes at the helpdesk. Perhaps Postshop should stick to selling stamps. Heaven help us if they decide to become an ISP. :| |

| 95120 | 2002-11-02 03:58:00 | I have been with IHUG around 7 years now. In the early days it was common not to be able to connect for 45 minutes of trying. The service has improved 100% over the years. Earlier this year I went over to jetstream with IHUG and I am not regretting it one little bit. May the good times continue. | Oxie (1318) | ||

| 95123 | 2002-11-03 07:25:00 | Thanks (to those who posted ON topic) NO thanks to those who posted SPAM such as that kiwibank b*l*s*i*- it's spam like that that wastes bandwidth WHY should I lift a finger at this end when I KNOW nothing has changed and ESPECIALLY because I have a "dashboard" program that clear diagnoses the problems at IHUG end ( "Even ingress, egress congestion and first local router busy ..." ) And WHY should it be any excuse that a whole bunch of ADSL or whatever users are overdiung it ? Are they so small that they cannot partition their capacity to stream those overdoingit to and FAIR amount of resource/capacity and stream us to our own partition of FAIR amount of resource/capacity ? As for Xtra/Telecom as the token "system administrator" at my place of employment MY experience there emphatically confirms my own personal experiences over the years . Yes, we have Jetstream at the office but at enormouse cost when Telecom/Xtra stuffed up the account and NO-ONE there would take ANY responsibility and continually and repetatively dragged us through the case from the begining without dealing with the issue for so long we nearly sued !!!!!!!! Personally I have actually had a Telecom technician admit (off record) that Telecom had been doing absolutely nothing to fix my problem even though they repeatedly advised me that they had, until he came onto my case ...... WHY trust Telecom/Xtra ever again ! The problem is at IHUG - it's become a DOG once again and they will be losing another customer this month. No - I will NOT personally advise them - because of the tall poppy syndrome I know from personal experince that these organisations record far to much in a personal MANNER that further contributes to the continuing prejudging that goes on far to often (personal experience with Telecom, the power company, the city council = they call it black marks on your file, marks that are not on files provided under the Privacy Act) Ginge got lost years ago and ihug has become a dog |
