Though I just joined the forums, I've been an avid reader of MyBB for quite some time. I realise that this isn't a technical support centre, but it would be great if someone can help me with the following questions/issues/problems regarding my ADSL connection. I know it is a lot to read.
---:] Some Details [:---
I have the DoBroadband 2 option from Telkom ( I know, not the best, but I was still clueless those days) and the Mega 100WR router. I thus have a 384Kbps/128Kbps line.
---:] Question 1 [:---
My connection seems to be dropping regularly these days. I've been using the service since it practically started and never had so many problems until a couple of months ago. it seems to drop more often the closer I come to the end of the month, but also the closer I come to my cap. Is anybody else experiencing this problem?
Since I've been using the service before without any problems I am pretty sure that everything is connected properly and that my settings are correct. I have yet to ask (read try) Telkom to come out and check my line. I thought that I should rather ask here first before even attempting that.
---:] Question 2 [:---
In line with this, it seems that webpages are "hanging" or "stalling" as I try to load them. The biggest culprit is Google. I do a search and then suddenly it just takes forever to load the webpage - forcing me to refresh the page until it loads. However, mere moments ago it was doing the search instantly. The same problem occurs with other websites too for a while and then suddenly, just as it happened, everything is fixed again.
I asked around a bit and someone told me that I should check my DNS settings and, instead of obtaining them, enter a fixed one. I tried that, but it didn't seem to work. Does anyone else experience this problem? Which DNS server is the best one to use? What else can I do to address this problem?
---:] Question 3 [:---
With regards to the above, I was also wondering if it won't solve the problem by changing my ISP to someone else. I like the new offering by DigiChilli and am seriously considering them as an option.
That should be everything. Thanks in advance!
