763174 2009-04-08 09:51:00 Looks like their server/s died about 1/4 to 7. And have just decided to come back on again (1/4 to 9)

I rang Xnet, and they said there was some prob, with Dlink modems and google (something about not being able to ping it , or something)?

What a load of bollocks. Funny that I've been using this on Xnet for the last 2 yrs with no probs at all. First they said I was the prob (so got me to reset the modem / reconfigure it). Left it for about 30 mins rang them back, and then they changed their minds. One of their "techs" noticed a prob / outage.

Funny noone noticed this, till AFTER I called them

763175 2009-04-08 10:33:00 I had a short outage of about 20 minutes. Jen (38)
763176 2009-04-08 10:42:00 Yeah, went off for about 20mins or so, same as Jen.

WTF does their home page never indicate such outages?

763177 2009-04-08 10:43:00 They do now lol (www.xnet.co.nz)

New connection? I was connected at the time, and it was definitely 1/4 to 7, not 1/4 to 8

Well thanks for ringing :) I dont even bother anymore. Unfortunately my better half was on a call to the in-laws at the time so timing couldn't have been worse thats when you wish you were still on analog phone lines.

Definitely was a 20+ minute outage as there wasn't even a response to PPP challenges according to the modem.

763179 2009-04-08 10:51:00 Well I must have got lost somewhere else lol. I was definitely offline for at least 2 hrs.

Xnet got me to ping google it timed out, ping Xnet it was fine (so it was fine between me and Xnet). But nothing else worked. Kept saying destination unreachable

Not anymore, they are now crap. I was also offline for a couple of hours. It said it was only for new connections, but mine just stopped when I was doing online banking.
