Who Else Is Getting Disconnected?

[LoneGunman]

I'm getting constant disconnections, roughly every couple of hours.
This has been going on since around midway through last week.

I got told by the helpdesk Orcs that it was something to do with 'a new card put into the base stations'..and that 'if the problem persists, they'll go back to the old cards'
Whatever any of that means.

This ongoing disconnection happens whether Im connected to rosebank or northcliff, so its not tower-specific..

Bottom line is: I get disconnected every couple of hours, throughout the day and night.

Who else is getting that - and what area (or tower, if you know it) are you in?

There seem to be overlapping errors occurring - ranging from speed issues, to the 'stuttering of signal' to the disconnects. I'm just curious who else is getting the disconnection thing?

No disconnects since the afternoon of the 14th. No speed either yet!!!

Although my speeds have returned *almost* to normal, I am also getting regular disconnects. I checked my log on Sunday and it was almost every two hours on the dot. I still notice disconnects, but haven't checked the log. Prior to the authetication outage on Friday, I had no connection problems.

Another odd thing was that last night from midnight to 1.30am I could not connect at all, XP told me the "line was busy"??? Did anyone else experience that? Or was it just me requiring a complete system reboot?

I have stopped counting the number of disconnects, and they aren't as regular as every 2hrs - they are totally random. As you should know by now this is the dreaded-lurgy-Bryanston-bs.

The disconnects are reading like a bad soapy since 15:02:17 on the 10-02-2005 for connections to Bryanston-BS.

There appears to be no end in sight.

The tides have turned. I no longer doubt my own equipment; I doubt the service.

That is never a good thing when the client starts always blaming the service.

I had 4 disconnects since 8h30 this morning

Do these disconnects result in an ip change?

Could be an anti-p2p strategy ...

Hi there..

Please read the operations report.

This will give you more information regarding the disconnection problem.

Have a good evening all

In those disconnects I had 2 ip changes, but I had a succesful torrent download of a new 2.6.8.4.... (about 40 MB) ubuntu kernel (dont ask me anything about it...I'm still a linux newbie) :D

[alchamy]

Just checked logs, I had 18 disconnections in the last 12 hours. Mostly on the hour, it seems that at some points the disconnections were seconds apart.

but p2p apps (well some p2p apps) recconect to the network and carry on what they were doing, if anything p2p downloading is better in these situations, because an http download won't say "hey look the connection is gone, i'm gonna wait 10 seconds and try again" it just fails but p2p will keep goin ang goin. So change your dial settings to recoonect on disconnection, change the redial time to 1 second and you'll only be offline for a whole second.

Use Getright or one of the similar packages when doing HTTP downloads. That way you can use multithread downloads etc and have them auto resume

yeah I do but I was talking about the protocols
