| | Hi CH,
Your description of "slow to stopped" is more accurate than my very very slow, but it seems to be waking up now.
I am not with any of the mentioned providers and other sites were OK.
Regards

| | Very, very slow here in Melb on Bigpond ADSL.
Thing with Bigpond is that they will not acknowledge a problem even when there is. If you all to say "I have an outage" the onus is on you to prove that there IS an outage. By then and after 60 or more frustrating minutes on the phone to India, things are no better. India always refuse to escalate to an Australian operator (the Indian call centre gets penalised). The problem with me is that I have no other choice but to go with Bigpond, all the other providers ride on Bigpond's backs around here.
It's a case of bend over and take it like a man.

| | Bookmark the link below and when you can't get on try it out and you'll find out if it's just you or it's down for everyone. won't help you fix it but at least you'll have some idea what the problem is and if it's widespread or not. Down For Everyone Or Just Me -> Check if a website is down or up?
Cheers - Neil

I can't get to the forum from iinet, it seems to be a routing problem somewhere, traceroute fails, but that's not conclusive since some routers block traceroute...(I suspect)
I am getting in via telstra (secondary mobile internet connection) at present, but it was also down earlier..
So.. it's not you and it's not me, it's someone else..
Hope this clarifies things a little or others who are busily re-booting modems and checking firewalls...
