When our portion was completed, the IPNet planned work was still being done, so load-balancing over the new link could not be tested.

There is still some work to be completed in this regard before we can actually allocate any more bandwidth, but we hope it will be completed before the evening peak.

Load balancing looks to be working correctly now, so we have allocated more bandwidth, and it looks to be adequate so far.

My issues seem to be just Microsoft downloads, everything else is doing fine.

I have considered creating a twitter account to match, but may have to check with the social media team. My personal twitter account has less activity than my posts on this thread ....

MickeyD, you jealous bro ?

Whatever makes it convenient for us/you to keep updated on what is happening. A fine balance between network changes and what you eat (wait, that sounds creepy) . No pressure otherwise, i personally think you don't want to see alot of "where is ranger" posts .

Ranger, why are websites dead slow at the moment (cant barely load youtube nevermind watching a video), but downloads are going 1MB/s (full line speed) ?

Routing to UK is a bit strange, I am getting higher pings to UK than Germany, surly I should get better pings to UK since WACS lands in London?

They are all pretty bad. I have gone from mweb to plugg to TI and I use vox datapro at work. None of them gave/give 100% solid service.

Plugg is for consumer home use. Not business use. No wonder you weren't happy. Pay for a proper business account for work.

Aaaarregghhhhh. My Dlink router states that my Adsl status is unconfigured. What does that mean?

It was working fine 10 minutes ago

 

[SCHUMI-4-EVA]

Either your router lost all it's settings and basically returned to a factory state (likely after a firmware upgrade) or your ADSL filter on the phone line got fried.

 

[creeper]

Nope. Settings still there. Did a reset. Cabling looks okay. No power spikes.

Mine's done that several times over the past few weeks. Gotten used to all the required settings - so annoyance more than anything. But since the router is 7 years old already, it's to be expected, I guess.
