Posted on Behalf of Dan (Since he is unable too) :-

On Broadband with metronet, its been fine until the last few weeks.
I've not been able to upload files easily, after retrying over and over they finally work, I get disconnected from ventrillo all the time.
It's got even worse over the past few days, I've not been able to upload files at all, I can't do some things (Sometimes I cant even post on forums :<), cant dcc on IRC or send messages on MSN either. Some people say they've not been seeing things ive been typing to them on MSN either.
I've tried various MTU values, I've tried my setup with a router and without, and to be fair it's annoying the hell out of me.
Just wondering if anyone has any idea of what it might be before I ring Metronet tommorrow
Cheers.

Can you help this poor soul?

Hi, the only problem I have seen with Metronet is the slowness over the last couple of days.
DNS Resolve times have been utterly poor.

As far as I know Metronet don't impose any sort of restriction on your line other than pscan monitoring and such.

Tbh, it's more likely to be a problem with you're DSL line. Contact metronet anyway and they'll get in touch with BT.

Didn't they just employ Firestorm?

Dan dan, are you sure it's not MTU? One of the main symptoms is being able to send small items (emails etc) but not large ones, and I know you had MTU issues in the past.

/me hugs poor dan

Look i didn't break it

If dan has a problem i'm sure he is able to pick up a phone and phone us. Or he could just ask elliot or towneh for help. I'm sure one of them will fix it

On one hand, Elliots proved me wrong again, so I hate him.


On the other hand, hes fixed it for me, so I want his babies.
