50312 2002-05-23 05:36:00 Hi I have been reading some posts and there seems to be a lot of problems with paradise internet at the mo. I live in Wellington and have been having a lot of problem connecting. It says that is connecting but then it says could not make connection or something along those lines or sometimes it says invalid username or password. I was just wondering if anybody had got a final word from paradise with any details to why this is happening?
Thanks all.

50313 2002-05-23 07:20:00 Give Paradise a ring on 0800467272 thats there help line and explain to them whats happening. They should be able to help. Guest (0)
50314 2002-05-23 07:39:00 Am in paradise. I have been with paradise since day 1 & have never had any problems connecting. Connect first time everytime I also have a saturn phone line wonder if this is the difference. If you have a telecum phone line could be where the bottle neck is. Don't you just love them. Guest (0)
50315 2002-05-23 09:03:00 Yes I have had the same problems with paradise lately to the point where I screwed up my system trying to find 'MY' problem. I have put that ISP on hold and am trying hyper.net.nz the jury is still out on their performance at the moment but at least I am getting on immediately. Guest (0)
50316 2002-05-23 09:56:00 Hi

I've been having lots of trouble on a Paradise connection with Saturn lines. Have partially cured it by changing to a full hardware (ISA) modem. Speeds and connection times and No of attempts to connect still aren't great but a big improvement.

Bugs in the Telstra/Saturn/Clear merger.

Cheers

50317 2002-05-23 10:25:00 I've been terribly frustrated and disappointed with the recent deterioration of Paradise's dial-up service.

I was going to stick with them despite tempting deals elsewhere, but if there isn't a rapid improvement or some kind of explanation in the next couple of days, I'll be voting with my feet.

50318 2002-05-23 10:46:00 Everyone seems to blame their ISP when they have a problem with their connection. When I got my first computer 2 years ago I had no end of trouble connecting to Paradise. I thought Paradise must be the problem (new computer after all) but it wasn't until I replaced the modem (after a lightening strike) that the problems ended. I have had no problems getting or maintaining a connection since. It might pay to get your hardware tested to see if the fault is there.

50319 2002-05-23 10:52:00 Hi,I access Paradise via a Saturn line here in Lower Hutt and so far have not had problems.Can connect first time,most times.I am connecting via IP net 087307272,I get a better connection using this number.
I also have a Actrix dial up account,it is a waste of time using Actrix at peak time.

50320 2002-05-23 13:24:00 ON the subject of what phone company gives better access to ISP's, yes i beleive that telstra lines are giving better connections than telecom ones, and the reason is obvious, they are after all brand new, where as most for telecoms ones are....ummmmm.... not brand new.

When i made the change, about 1= years ago, my connection speed did go up, I was with ihug at the time. I am now on a cable, so of course i cannot coment on dial-up connectivity issues first hand. I have observed however, that in the last 2 or 3 months things seem to have suddenly got ALOT worse for alot of people

50321 2002-05-24 05:12:00 I too had a 4 day problem with paradise... I could not connect from auckland.
It appeared to be a problem connecting from telecom (jetstream) thru to paradise
However I put this down to the major Changes the organisation is going thru
and so far my connections have gone back to normal
