Very poor browsing today.

Connection problems from the word go! My router's fine and not losing sync, but browsing is very bad, almost as though there's a DNS problem. Anyone else experiencing this?

Re: Very poor browsing today.

Which gateway are you connected to? (you can find out here - http://usertools.plus.net/@gateway)

pcl-ag05. Last time I had anything like this it turned out to be a gateway router failing.

Re: Very poor browsing today.

Kelly said last night they were adding some new kit today - not sure if it's linked to that

We are in the process of adding 2 more bits of kit (one is going live tomorrow) which should put enough kit in the network to prevent a reoccurrence of the issue.

Hi nozzer,
I've checked your line and everything seems OK, I can see your connection has disconnected & reconnected, any improvement?

Re: Very poor browsing today.

See attached pic of a pingplot...  this is what seems to be happening, short bursts of very high latency. Seems to have calmed down a bit at the moment bit during peak times it's bad.

Re: Very poor browsing today.

Also having problems getting around the net, at first I thought it was DNS but its not

Is there some sort of transparent proxy stuff going on ?
Something is mucking about with web connections, I have a couple of working pages that autorefresh, any new connections fail
Everything else appears to have dropped off the interwebs
Oh and as an aside, when there is a routing problem, having all the plusnet pages sprinkled with google analytics links is really frustrating.

That was done with software called Pingplotter. Not sure about doing it on a Mac; someone will be able to help though I'm sure.

Re: Very poor browsing today.

I thought it was just  me but some pages seem to take ages to load. Looks like a  routing problem somewhere.
