Hey guys hoping you could help me with this one.
Bit of history first, have been with Telecom broadband for ages, anyway one day our internet stopped working and when we rang up to complain after several phone calls we discovered they had cut our line off "by mistake" Anyway, it took them a week to get us re-connected (with a sizeable credit and a sorry letter).
So ever since all this happened and several re-boots of our modem (2 Wire- will provide more details when I get back home later this evening) our internet has been quite slow (general browsing, youtube loading, visiting certain websites), though downloads have been going at over 1.5mb/sec (utorrent downloads).
A couple of weeks ago, I couldn't access a local hiking/tramping website, so I thought it may be down, though friends who directed me there were accessing it at the same time. I tried on our PP.C connected via ethernet cable to the modem. On my laptop connected via wireless and my iphone and ipad, none of which could access the website. Though, I didn't think much of it and just forgot about it. Well last night, I tried getting the latest flash download for my laptop and low and behold I couldn't access adobe.com, pogo.com and one more webpage which I "googled" which wouldn't load. Though when I used a website like hidemyass.com (suggested by a website while I was trying to figure out what was going on) I could access all the websites.
So after that long winded description, I think there is something up with my 2 Wire ADSL modem/router, though I have no idea what. I can check back on this later tonight and post back any info anyone requires to help me out. I rebooted it last night, reset the firewall settings, though that didnt help. I wasn't sure about setting it to factory default.
Cheers,
