Beats me - connected ok this morning. All fixed thinks I. Won't connect now! Bugger.

Found it's working when I switched to Internet Explorer instead of Firefox.

Logged on through the work laptop which connects to Vodafone through an air-card.
No problems - straight through ... sounds as if it could be a Telecom problem alright.

I emailed Telecom. They explained to me how the internet works and that it's not their fault. Perhaps I should point out to them that their competitors don't seem to have the same problem.

I don't understand why anyone is still with Telecom if they can help it. Why? ? Laziness in changing providers?

Telecom is nothing but bad.
The only good thing is they do your thinking for you.

Kennif you're about the only Kiwi that's posted over at ADV recently in the regional forum other than me. I don't go there much and it sure is quiet there now - much more fun here. Is it really Telecom's problem?

ADV has loaded a couple of times for me,then won't go any further.No big deal - the internet could collapse tomorrow and I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one clapping.

I've got their old go large plan. Unlimited broadband downloads for $49. Which provider will do the same? I have had virtually zero problems with Telecom. They also seem to have the spam issue under control at the moment. In other words, it works for me.

Just stay here at KB and enjoy yourself (while I say that ADV is still working fine for me) .

Assuming you are running Windows of one sort or another

Click Start
Click Run
Type in 'cmd' (no quotes)
A black box type screen will appear

Type 'tracert www.advrider.com' (no quotes) and hit enter

A bunch of stuff like that in my earlier post will appear.
Right click on the tiny little black square at the top left of the black window (at the left of the blue border)
A menu box will pop up.
Click on Edit
Click on Select All Everything in the black window should be highlighted
Click on Copy

Now go write an email to your ISP service desk

Tell them that they are routing through a dead route. Paste the stuff you just copied into the email
Tell them to fix it.

It is purely a Telescum issue.

It's now working for me thru T/C cable. Was starting to worry

[tri boy]

Yep. Back up for me too. All the emails to telecom must of got somebody off their slack arse to sort it.
I received the "churned out" corporate reply. We can't be responsible for all web faults. Blah blah blah. Funny how it got fixed hours after people emailing them
