Haven't we come a long way in ten years of internet

This is a view of what happened ten years ago, and we are haying trouble with our internet? Internet has dropped. unable to reach ISP. Support supplies a mobile number, --> msg bank regionalconnect site is up www.dingoblue.net.au seems to be down. not real convienent at the moment. anyone else having problems?

User #287549 8 posts DrBoon Forum Regular	Yep, It's a little discouraging seeing as I only just joined up with them. I'm getting a little buyer's remorse. Does this happen often with these guys?	reference: whrl.pl/RbQkdi posted 2009-May-9, 3pm AEST

User #287549 8 posts DrBoon Forum Regular	On their site it says there was a power outage in sydney where their servers are located. Hoping this was a one off.	reference: whrl.pl/RbQkRi posted 2009-May-9, 7pm AEST

User #287549 8 posts DrBoon Forum Regular	I'm getting REALLY dodgy connections of late. I have no connection about as often as I do have a connection and when I do it's really slow. I know it says they have a damaged switch at the server site but there is no listed outages at the moment. I was kinda hoping to rely on this ISP for a constant stream of data, what with it being unlimited. Consistency in the speed I'm not too worried about, actually maintaining a connection though...	reference: whrl.pl/RbQ1re posted 2009-May-20, 8pm AEST

User #275600 20 posts Steve Welsh Dingoblue Internet ISP Representative	DrBoon We identified the problem and it should now be resolved. It was due to a numbr of things (a) our remote hands incorrectly reconnected ethernet leads to a piece of equipment by accident (b) we had a wierd udp problem appear. On advice of the hardware supplier, we performed a cold reboot of all the equipment late yesterday The later appears to have solved the problem with the upd and the remote hands correctly connected the equipment once it was identified. If it hasnt please contact the service desk as you may have another problem Thanks Steve Proprietor Dingo Blue	reference: whrl.pl/RbQ2nR posted 2009-May-21, 7am AEST edited 2009-May-21, 7am AEST

User #83457 1039 posts Dr-Jones Whirlpool Enthusiast	quite annoying, some websites very slow unable to play on most game servers.. wont connect with a ping of 16680 when it does get a response. Think its a melbourne problem, uncertain where it lies.

User #83457 1039 posts Dr-Jones Whirlpool Enthusiast	sent an SMS to AH support, got a call back, spent a while on the phone with Tech. sorted a few problems out. my router doing something and a change on their end caused some dramas. unsure of exact details and lingo. Can reach gameservers now so happy days again	reference: whrl.pl/RbRiKr posted 2009-May-25, 8pm AEST edited 2009-May-25, 8pm AEST
