boo hoo hoo! (that's me crying).  I STILL dont have my problems sorted.  I have just called visionstream back (they called me this morning to arrange a visit by a tech) and they cannot even find me on their system!  And of course the tech hasn't turned up.

Why is the problem so hard to fix?  Why can no-one tell me what's wrong?  I am running out of credit on my t-stick and I dont really feel like spending another $40 for just 3GB of data.

Someone help!!!!!

I've forgotten to say I need to do a hard reset of the router to get the connection going.  So you might want to give it a try.

At the moment, I didn't change any "Broadband Connection" setting of the router, so it is connected using PPPoE, but at the same time, it tries to search/do logon using PPPoA (which it can't logon using PPPoA of course).

So, try a hard reset and see how it goes

I honestly thought you were sorted - Try a hard reset of your router just in case else I'll see if there is anyone who can take a look at it this week. Sorry chap!

I just tried pulling the power on the modem but still nothing.  The modem reports 697 up / 14,713 down.  Before the upgrade the up speed was around 1000.

I have just spoken to the team leader at Vision Stream and they want me to raise a fault with Telecom so they (Visionstream) can have a tech come out to apartment tomorrow.  The tech today didn't even bother coming to the place - he just tested it elsewhere and said it was working so left.

michaelmurfy et. al. - can any of you raise a fault for me? Or do I have to call the 0800 number?  Only reason I ask is that getting through to complex internet support or level 3 takes a lot of explaining each time.

I just noticed something, not sure if its related, but my modem has only been on for 18 minutes and I have a lot of errors:

FEC Errors (Up/Down):0 / 2,183

CRC Errors (Up/Down):1 / 18

HEC Errors (Up/Down):0 / 11

Does this mean something?

Try a hard reset.  This afternoon, I tried:

1. logon to the router and click the connect button for the PPPoE connection - didn't work
2. switched off the router for 60 seconds, and power up again.  No connection.  Then tried (1) again, no connection.
3. did a hard reset, and got connection in under a minute.

Yes, the hard reset was painful because I need to re-setup my wifi etc, but it worked at the end.

I have to say the "Telecom logistics machine" is an insanely well oiled machine


Too right it's well oiled, we're "Gen-I field services" for taranaki, and one day we started receiving spare cisco routers, no warnings at all. Now we're literally drowning in cisco spares...

So jealous of all these good results :( All I gained was an upload increase of 400kbps. 2 years until fibre too.
