Cool Ideas Fibre ISP – Feedback Thread 2

[Johan R]

I'm not sure what the cause of the problem is but I also switched to Google DNS and it's working perfectly.

 

[mkultra77]

Internet is completely dead now.

 

[WickedMONK3Y]

CISP page is either throwing out errors that it cant connect, or tossing out a few wordpress errors

According to their Facebook page, DDos attack

Major Outage - DDoS - Cool Ideas - Cool Ideas

Looking like I'm going to have to consider switching too. A few too many outages, and having down-time during office hours is costing me money.

Watch out before the brigade comes telling you to buy a business line for SLA support.

 

[chrisGolf]

Something's gone tits up. I can't even get to www.cisp.co.za from work to log an outage with my home line.

try https://coolzone.cisp.co.za

Well there goes international again with the same up/down but mostly down cycle since few minutes ago.

Sigh

I am able to connect via 8.8.8.8 but not 1.1.1.1 (seems slow)? Local only.

Tried google dns 8.8.8.8 on my router, doesnt work at all

It's going to be intermittent until they can mitigate the attack. Seems to be past just a DDoS to the network but their actual web servers.

Yeah. Google's DNS doesn't work for me either. Cloudfare's 1.1.1.1 at least attempts a connection and then fails. On Google's DNS the connection doesn't even start.

That's really weird. I'm back to a fully functional connection for both local and international.

 

[xefor]

Now who would want to DDoS Cool Ideas ?

 

[mugikhan]

Another month another DDos attack...

That makes no sense at all.

I am still able to VPN out now at least and no issues if it was a DDOS that destroyed their international capacity then me connecting over international VPN would not be possible.

I don't know what the issue is exactly but it seems highly unlikely its a DDOS issue thats killing off international access yet with international VPN there is no issue.

Try a config renew and clearing your DNS cache. Worked for me.

1.1.1.1 worked for me on my DNS config for my NIC on windows. tracert -d 1.1.1.1 (on windows) worked perfectly. I was thinking there are issues with my network.
