Weird Telkom problem this morning.

[Picard]

This morning my cap ran out and I bought another 1GB from Telkom's topup website. But after that I can't browse. I phoned Telkom and they can see that I am indeed connected but I still can't browse. They go through all the usual BS of resetting the line and giving me other gateway addresses but none of it works.

But here's the kicker. If I configer my router with my Axxess details in my I can connect and browse just fine. This is how I can post this.

I didn't change any router settings and everything work perfectly till before I bought the extra Telkom GB. What could be the problem?

Try using OpenDNS' servers for your DNS.

But what's the problem. My internet worked fine without OpenDNS servers.

Picard, disconnect then reconnect. You might be on local bandwitdh pype and IP address range. By doing the disconnect it will place you in their blended bandwtidh range again.

Have done that plenty of times.
