1235025 2011-10-02 20:44:00 I'll echo those sentiments. Basically it's best to start by paying some bloke to redo your home wiring first (If you've only got 1 jackpoint for Naked DSL, then all the better!). It's cheaper and then you've got enough ammunition to go back to Telecom Chorus and say "Look guys we've redone our own wiring and it's now perfect. Issue still exists, it's not our end, which leave you."
Believe me, I've been there ;)

1235028 2011-10-03 01:06:00 Well made another call to ISP and apparently I did not fill out their online diagnostic form correctly. So just did it again. Would have been nice if they told me that a week ago. Disco_Dan (16576)
1235029 2011-10-03 01:33:00 Yeah call them every 24 hours until it's resolved. I never wait for a call back, from any ISP... Chilling_Silence (9)
1235030 2011-10-03 01:34:00 I stand corrected ;)

Woah "pathping" takes ages...

Netstat -b command gave me so much info it would not fit on the form... restarted computer, closed down everything in taskbar except antivirus. Still massive list. "itunes helper" seems to generate a lot so I closed that.

Just waiting for traceroute to finish then I will ping that IP you gave me to try yesterday - okay to post results on here?

1235031 2011-10-03 01:39:00 Okay scratch that - "netstat -b" is still giving me too much information to fill out the form. Keep getting "exceeds character limit of 4000 by 1400" and that is after I deleted a load of the lines that kept repeating "time_wait" over and over. Disco_Dan (16576)
1235032 2011-10-03 02:07:00 Use WinMTR to do your traceroute, do like 60 iterations. Download from http://winmtr.sf.net Chilling_Silence (9)
1235033 2011-10-08 19:44:00 Okay well still waiting.

There is a hole in the ground between me and the cab, big black cable exposed since Thursday. No change in my connection speed as yet.

Could someone give me a quick tip regarding routers/modems - I have Netgear DGN2200 nearly all of the reviews for it I found were bad. Mostly overheating issues when it is on it's side.

Is it better to have a standalone modem then run a cable to my Netgear modem/router or can the Netgear run everything okay by it'self?

1235034 2011-10-08 20:40:00 The wiring does not belong to you, you are only renting a service on it,
Absolute crap. You can do your own wiring within the house but the wiring to the house is a different story.
