Put it this way....It took a long time to download this page (page 2) in this thread, & it has only one reply! If I try to open page 1....well forget it....No idea what the problem is. My email is down too!!! (bigpond)
(And if what I type here actually gets to this thread it will be a miracle!!???)
Are you sure you haven't got a virus on your PC that is eating up your bandwidth. Is your network connected symbol blue all the time or black (thats the little two PC in the lower right corner ) when wasthe last time you fully scanned your PC for a virus?
Ok, I'm at page 1 of this thread....took 3 mins to display!!! The site has been like this since this morning for me. I've disconnected twice thinking it's my computer playing up. All other sites are the same. ****** nuisance!
To cut a long story short everything is nominal. Only abnormal thing is bytes sent as apposed to received. Activity is sporadic. It's a random thing that happens a lot, but usually to do with bigpond. I can guarantee no viruses here.
Check the time between this post & my last one above!! THATS how long it took me to get back in here!
No virus no nothing. One minute its this site, so I'll slip across to CN....then CN go's down, so I come back here & I'll get in for 30 secs then it will go down again. I give up! Gotta take the internet with a large dose of...something.
i just checked, unfortunately I can not do a tracert as my company blocks Ping and Trace, to external IP's. I tried the other website you gave and it works but there is only one word on that website "hi".
no it has been good for me, not as bad as a few weeks ago,
As you know i am on nearly 16 out of 24 hours, and from tassie, the last few days have not been perfect but aboiut normal for me.
As I host sites with telstra, i should probabley post the outages they email me to let me know what is being serviced etc in regards to equipment around australia.
The net of late has suffered quite badly from stoppages and outages. I have no idea what the problem is but it is everywhere. Might be all the bandwidth being chewed up with ADSL. Still what ever the cause it is very annoying.
