Talk talk and internet down

[RobArb]

Hi

 

Sometimes its your ISPs DNS server not being able to answer requests fast enough that can cause slow downs or outages, if you're familiar with your router config what you could try is set the router to use Open DNS which is faster and more reliable

 

In the DNS settings, make a note of the existing settings then set:

 

DNS1 - 208.67.222.222

DNS2 - 208.67.220.220

 

If theres no improvement then change it back!

 

I know this works well with Talk Talk & have used the service on every network router I install as well as using it personally for several years.

 

I'll try that ta:thumbup:

I hate Talk Talk with a passion. They keep threatening to cut off my broadband unless i pay my bill and I haven't been with them since 2010. Watch out if you ever want to leave them. They are worst than Sky. I hate them.

 

Gone with Plusnet now and the ads are right. You can call up and talk to somebody. Earlier this year we had an identical problem with 2 broadband lines in next dor buildings. Both had ring tone and phone was fine. Both sync with exchange but nothing else. One BT, one Plusnet. I figure it must be an exchange fault. Stupidly I call BT first and spend an hour on the phone talking to various idiots and get nowhere.

 

One 2 minute call to plusnet, some cheerful, helpfull oop north fella says 'hang on a minute, I'll have a look......oh yeah, exchange fault at Totnes exchange logged at 11am, next update at 3pm, do you want me to give you call then?" I say yes please. He does too although the fault is already fixed. Absolutely brilliant. I now love plusnet.
