Okay, I recently moved from a "N"ew wireless provider back to Telkom because the speed is getting so slow I can walk to the servers to get the TCP packets and still be faster...
I must add my 2c, Telkom implemented my DSL And other requests in record time, with precision and not one single problem. I am impressed.
Anyway, now back to my problem. Im using a 1GB account from Axxess to get started, with a view to switching to the Uncapped Express.
However I have the following problem. Numerous websites, for example Facebook.com, kulula-air.com, FNB's online banking etc.
1. I try to browse these on the DSL, and Firefox just says "Waiting..." and never gets reply. Other websites open in about 1/2 second.
2. I plug in my 3G modem and hit F5 - they open fine.
3. Switch back to the DSL connection, Hit F5 - Firefox again just says "waiting.." and never gets a reply.
It is getting so bad now that I have resorted to purchasing an Openweb Openbrowse account so I can use their proxy otherwise 60% of the sites I visit just never open. It cant be PC (Ubuntu 8.10) because the same browser works fine on the 3G or other connections - just on the DSL about 60% of the sites I try to open just say "Waiting" the whole time.
I suspected it might be the transparent proxies, but if it were these other people would complain? Does anyone have any ideas what could be doing this?
I'm using a D-link ADSL modem, hooked up to a Senao wireless access router on a Telkom 4mbit line with the axxess 1GB shaped (IS DSL) account.
[UPDATE : Seems now I cant use POP3 either, my email client works fine on the 3G account but on the IS DSL from Axxess it says Connected and then times-out saying there was no reply. Similar to the HTTP problem. Interestingly SMTP to my external SMTP servers works 100% on the DSL line. ]
