1124509 2010-08-04 02:36:00 Hi guys,

Just today I had very sporadic connection to the internet.

about 20pings to www.trademe.co.nz would resolve and then around 5 minutes of no connection, however the router informed my that the gateway was still connected and the lights (DSL and internet) on the the router itself were both on.

I was wondering if any other Telecom users had any such problems or if its just me.

As a side note I replaced the cable between the ADSL jack and the router and the problem seems to have gone away.

I remain unconvinced at this stage but many adsl areas in NZ fell over sporadically.

1124512 2010-08-04 04:26:00 Yep, could barely get online to play Aion. It went on for like 20 minutes of intermittent disconnections and 2-3 mins of downtime, then 1 min of online time. Netsukeninja (13296)

1124515 2010-08-04 11:51:00 It's been terrible at my parents place on Orcon, but me down the road 1.5KM (Same exchange) seems fine? Chilling_Silence (9)
1124516 2010-08-04 12:44:00 Mine was also being strange this morning. Rebooted the router and all came good. Normally this kind of thing does not happen. Agent_24 (57)
1124517 2010-08-04 21:21:00 My parents was dropping off for several minutes at a time, wasn't getting an IP Address, happened maybe a dozen times yesterday afternoon / evening. They've not rang me this morning to complain so who knows? Chilling_Silence (9)
