I have had a harrowing weekend with internet troubles that got me seriously panicking about Cyber Monday!
When i moved house i reluctantly had to go onto ADSL1 instead of 2+ because i'm on a RIM. It's been mostly fine, still connecting almost as fast as i used to have, but occasionally dying in the ass and just not loading past certain pages of certain sites, matty being one of them!
Stupidly, i look at calling iinet support as my last resort. Of course, when i did, they actually fixed the problem right away and could have saved me a weekend's worth of stress. Lesson learned!
Seems the iinet website lists incorrect settings for ADSL1 customers.
PPPoE should be PPPoA, LLC should be VC, MTU should be lower... bastards!
But now it's working fine and i can sleep easy knowing i'll at least have a chance of getting Battle Cat (and He-Man!) tomorrow night. I was even considering driving into work at 1am to use the connection there!
Share your stories as they happen and good luck to everyone who's fighting for the Fighting Tiger of Eternia!
