| 595221 | 2007-09-30 02:09:00 | Another cause maybe a long line from the wall jack to the modem, try to keep this as short as possible. I have a Linksys, and there are some days when the damn connection puts a whore's draws' to shame, however a quick (err I mean patient) call to Telecom for a port reset usually resolves this.. You maybe in a high demand area. I have never heard of a port reset, but it sounds interesting. Do they do it straight away ? Another words is it their software ? or does a technician need to go to your exchange ? (as when they install ADSL) If one is in a high demand area, do you think Telecom will cut you off to let others on ? Regards Digby |

| 595223 | 2007-09-30 19:35:00 | I too have had trouble dropping out. But it is nothing to do with my isp or with Teleom. ON LINE GAMEING. This gives all sort of problems with drop outs. But just restart and all is well again. I spent $200 on a new modem last week and it has made no difference to speed or reliability. I have a 30 meter extension cable from my jack point to my computer. This is causing no problems. I carried my computer to the jack point and plugged it in. No difference in performance. My problem is I use 3 US Based servers and 2 Oz ones. Could be distances involved. Or very fragile software. Overall though I am reasonably happy |

| 595224 | 2007-09-30 19:49:00 | lol actually, I brought the Dlink G604T Gen II modem, when I signed up. Theyre not as bad as I thought. It hasnt cut me off YET. And was easy as, to configure, to get onto the net. I did read on the Dlink site, that you can have disconnection probs, if you're using a LONG phone extension. I spose this depends on how good the modem is. I think the extension cord here is 10m or something. May check to see if I get better DL speeds, (altho its not that bad atm), if I plug the filter directly into the phone jack. |
