764163 2009-04-12 05:58:00 My Xnet is down again intermittently since this afternoon at around 2.30 pm.

The ADSL signal led on my Dlink router is having some fun: steady for a while, blinking for a while and sometimes just goes off.

Managed to get hold of a tech support guy and he told me that it probably is my phone line that's causing the disconnections.

What you guys reckon?

Weird. I just checked my logs. I've had no disruptions at all for the past few days.

Score one for South Auckland! :p

764167 2009-04-13 22:38:00 Now, we've tracked down that my Dlink 50T router is faulty and I managed to get hold of a Telecom's Thomson speedtouch from a friend of mine, brand new. It works great, speed seems to be much faster - getting about 7669 kbps.

Just before I got the replacement router, we also found that my phone line is very noisy (crackling) whenever the router is ON. I had the 'splitter' installed by Telecom many years ago when I first have my ADSL installed.

Rang Telecom yesterday about the noisy phone and they said it could be my router (Dlink) as when I plugged out the router, the noise disappears. But after I replaced the Dlink with my present speedtouch, the crackling noise still persist whenever the router is ON.

Telecom wants to charge me for repairing this. Isn't it Telecoms reaponsibility for the maintenance of the line?
