i keep getting issues with random timeouts, of particular concern recently was when I was doing some banking, fortunately when I logged back on I saw that the payment instruction had gone through but its a little annoying.
WAN uptime counter on my router interace shows 255 hours so I assume from that there hasn't been a drop but is just symptomatic of this strained wire I use for an ADSL connection?

If I did a constant ping to sites i used to get dropouts every 1 or 2 in 5.
After doing some more testing, it timed out when just pinging the router.
I suspected the router was at fault , and so bought a new router and adapter which worked fine.
After taking the old router to work and trying it with a laptop, the router was fine and it turned out to be the USB wirless adapter.

Ethernet controller is integrated into the motherboard (had one fail and board had to be replaced which was annoying)

Could possibly have been a problem specifically with the site you were trying to use, or was it various different sites?

I think there is a problem as I have noticed this on several site on 3 different plusnet accounts with 3 different routers, and a refresh straight away gets the site so it looks like a DNS problem to me.
I have noticed this all this week.

I've noticed this in the past, though when I moved to BBYW, it seemed to improve. That said, I've been seeing it start to happen again these last few days. (Wired/Wireless, XP/Vista, IE/Firefox). It does seem to be worse in the early evening - might it be symptomatic of an overloaded piece of kit?

Whether this is all related is extremely difficult to know.
I'm currently on THN-AG1 gateway, not that I've noticed that it's related to a particular one.

Think they did something a while back and reported back that they'd also found and terminated a wayward BIND process on one of the DNS servers (I'm assuming there is more than one physical machine and not just two IPs linked to a single server)

There was a speed issue which was raised separately and then this DNS issue or are both issues being addressed as one by the networks team or should we have added to another thread such as Barry's old one?
Or have I missed something?
