Re: email connect failures - intermittent and browsing timeouts

There seems to be some murmurings over on Think Broadband. I've had the odd timeout over the last couple of evenings where a website has failed to respond in a timely fashion but works fine the second time round. Doesn't quite feel like a DNS issue mind you.
Interestingly, and like a poster over on Think Broadband, I didn't notice the problem when I was connected to the work VPN Undecided

Re: email connect failures - intermittent and browsing timeouts

Is this being fixed.... i have been having similar issues with timeouts and intermittent internet
Also this is affecting my XBOX Live... keeps chucking me out of games every so often
Im getting a little bit annoyed with niggly problems like this with PN over the past few months of being a customer

It seems we are not all being affected at the same time.  I've been OK all morning.

Re: email connect failures - intermittent and browsing timeouts

This isn't a DNS problem (at least, not a Plusnet one) - I've been suffering from problems accessing websites the first time but a second click gets there, for some time now and I've been using OpenDNS for ages.
I've also had intermittent POP3 connection problems for the last few days but it seems OK at the mo'.

Re: email connect failures - intermittent and browsing timeouts

I got a 'timed out' earlier today when trying to connect to the forum.  All OK again now by the looks of it. Smiley
