It's the bad weather today, check you fault tracker on your ISP's homepage if it has one, it should tell you the services/areas of the country etc affected. Your ISP has probably routed you through another network temporarily. I heard a 12Gbs BT server went down somewhere.

Reconnect and must have got a better server cos the connection is much better .

I got that a couple years ago when Pipex died for me.

I think they had an outage which caused that msg , I've not had it since

sorry to hijack gordy:

I've got a problem with my nildram 1000 dsl, it only downloads at the same speed as my BT 512 service. I've done all the setup, changed router settings, computer setting and generally done everything i can think of and its still going at 60kbps. I'm open to any ideas right now

Check the speed on adslguide.org to see what levels your service is running at

Never had that message Gordy, but there was a big outage last night - lasted a couple of hours. Just when I wanted to play Eve too


Wonder what the service will be like now Pipex have taken over...

No, he means run the speed test...

That should show you exactly how quickly your connection is running.

Summary of ticket
Ticket category - Core switch issue corenet

We have had issue with one of the core switch which was corrupting packets. Reload of that switch has stabilised network and seem to have resolved the issue. After prolonged monitoring, all looks fine although we will continue to closely monitor the platform. Apologies for the inconvenience this may have caused to our customers and for not been able to update sooner as it took us long to track down the issue.

Nice to be told

all fixed guys, they migrated my service, but didn't upgrade the line.
