Gidday,

Is anyone else experiencing issues loading websites on Telecom Xtra Adsl today? Since this morning we've been unable to load 99% of sites that we try including NZ and International (GZ is one of the few that does).

Our Thomson router has been on a slow decline over the last few months so we went out and purchased a Belkin F7D2401 Modem/Router (on special, limited choice around atm). This is experiencing the same issues as well. After doing all the basic checks (isolation/restarts/reset to defaults/multiple computers/wireless&wired etc).

I phoned Telecom and got an automated message saying they "are currently experiencing issues with some people being unable to access websites, we are working to resolve them" followed by "our operators cannot offer any more help or information".

DNS requests are getting a response, and occasionally we can load the page title or even part of the page, than it all goes pear shaped. Tracert's appear to be alright as well. Could this be another wonderful Cache related issued?

Also (may as well hijack my own thread):

Are these ADSL stats acceptable (Attenuation especially)?

Type Interleave Path
Status SHOWTIME
Downstream Upstream
Data rate(Kbps) 13148 945
Noise Margin 12 15
Output power(dBm) 16 7
Attenuation(dB) 122 186

And:

Anyone else used a Belkin F7D2401 and had issues getting Wifi connections to work? It only connects as Local on our Vista laptop, won't allow interweb or even router access.
