| 846616 | 2010-01-07 08:15:00 | Hi Guys, My broadband is playing up, very strangely. I can get local sites such as TradeMe, But not international ones very well, or at all. Especially if they have to load up some Google Ads or Analyitics or other advservers, they just time out and My Firefox screen goes all white. This site is very slow. The New Zealand Herald site is OK, but wont show any pictures. My ISP says it could be my modem. But I don't think so. We did some pings to the UK and it went OK on some but timed out on others. Any suggestions ? Thanks Digby |

| 846619 | 2010-01-08 06:17:00 | Hi Guys Its weird because when we do a tracert it times out on some places. Eg I'm trying to get on to BBC World and 4 or 5 of the hops time out. Obviously they are important. Any website that has no ads or items that load in the left hand bottom status bar load fast. Any that have ads or pics or have to go to some analytical program time out and don't load. Could this be my router crapping out ? Or is it Telecom playing with their settings ? |

Why not answer the questions fully posed by other members? That way you may get some help. |

| 846623 | 2010-01-08 06:36:00 | Whats under the LAN connection / properties / TCP/IP entry?? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 846624 | 2010-01-08 06:50:00 | And have you tried Internet Explorer? | Renmoo (66) | ||
| 846625 | 2010-01-08 09:21:00 | Some places just block that kind of thing, so don't take it personally that half the hops don't respond unless it's one you've done successfully previously. Try using OpenDNS and see if that helps: chillingsilence.wordpress.com Do you have just the one machine, or are multiple boxes on your connection affected? |
