tapedeck Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Ok, bizarre problem. I recently had the decibels turned up to 9 on my internet connection to stop interference...I don't know what any of that really alters but that's what BE have done due to every-twenty-second disconnects. So now it is more stable (roughly twenty min dc's atm) but as of tonight (7pm) I can ONLY go on N-Europe. Any other site does not work at all. Nothing. Not even Google! Now I've done all of those normal things such as restarted computer/checked for virus' spywares etc and done the simple thing of turning off the router/internet completely and restarting...so when I did I could view some other sites...ebay.com worked and nothing else I could think of did. No facebooks/youtubes/wiki's/googles etc... So yeah, totally confused. I've cleared all histories/cookies etc too. Now I'm just utterly confused. Anyone?
Shorty Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 I'm on Be and I can't get on any of those sites either o_O N-E isn't the only place I can access though, I can get on http://www.lloydstsb.com http://www.ebay.co.uk http://www.kotaku.com as a few quick examples from my bookmarks. can you get on those ok? I'm guessing a problem with Be (which they're hopefully trying desperately to fix).
tapedeck Posted August 9, 2008 Author Posted August 9, 2008 Lloyds worked...the rest got stuck at 39%
Sanchez Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Be are having continued DNS troubles I guess. They really have a terrible DNS system, it makes some pages load slower than they should as well (although you may not notice it). I hope they can fix their DNS problems once and for all so this type of stuff doesn't have to happen anymore, otherwise their service is awesome. You can try using OpenDNS.
Jackster Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 That's really strange, I had the same problem last night on O2 (i.e. Be), but I use OpenDNS. I don't think it was a DNS problem because just typing in Google's IP address didn't give me anything. It all came back to normal about 11pm.
Luke Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 I'm on Be. One night I had those disconnects and just gave up on it for the night. Otherwise now I can view any web page I want.
Mr_Odwin Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Be sounds great! Post 2. You all should have listened to me!
Sanchez Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 I would still choose Be for 20/1.3 for £22 a month even if it gave me trouble 5 times a month.
Jackster Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 God is telling you something. Yes.... telling us to be faithful and to believe in Be : peace:
Pancake Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 At least the one site you get to visit involves red plumbers, right?
Hellfire Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Yes.... telling us to be faithful and to visit N-E frequently. Fixed for divine justice.
RoadKill Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 I'm using be and opendns and I haven't had this problem
Jackster Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 I'm using be and opendns and I haven't had this problem I don't think it could have been a DNS problem as I was using OpenDNS and had this problem. It also wouldn't work by just using an IP address instead of a web address so I'm pretty confident it wasn't a DNS problem. Not to worry though, problem was only there for a few hours, everything's fine now.
