Hi

 

At my work the office uses the Spark Etext service to text people when their job is ready. About 2 weeks ago, a couple of the computers wouldn't go there. Kept getting "

 

Service Temporarily Unavailable

 

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later."

 

I tried different web browsers & cleaning cache etc. No joy. Anyway, some days it works, others not. Had no joy with Spark. It's you, not us. 

 

So used my Spark cellphone on cellular data and it works. Kill the cellular data and use the firms wifi and I get the 503 error message. So it is a problem with our 2 Degrees fibre connection I guess. Any ideas on this one? Doesn't really help that this is intermittant problem, but it isn't working on any of the computers today. Thanks in advance.

IcI:

 

I can access the website from my 2D home fibre connection.

 

Maybe because you have multiple users logging in often, their website thinks your connection is causing a DDOS? Can you try with on of the problematic PC's on a separate connection?

 

And yet, I can't.

 

Something I did however notice is the site is running on dual stack IPv6/v4. IPv6 doesn't work and generates a "Service Temporarily Unavailable" page where IPv4 works fine.
