Hi Everyone

Is anyone experiencing any issues with telecoms dns, i've switched to Google's dns for the mean time but would prefer to use telecoms.

Looks like we're having trouble in Auckland as well. Currently with a customer on a VDSL connection with issues that appear to be DNS related. Will check it out and log a fault shortly once we get to that part of the job.

I see no reply from Pings from a Telecom VDSL connection in West Auckland.

DNS resolution works intermittently.

Hmmphh looks like I edited my post out of existence.

Intermittent dns weirdness on VDSL is still happening to random sites, google, geekzone, stuff, nzherald.

Must be my cue for lunch...

Most likely your CPE has cached DNS entries... Try some site you never visited before.

Also having issues with VDSL in Auckland. When using Google DNS (or UnoTelly) seems to work fine. Otherwise random slow, unavailable websites and email issues.

Let's get fixed Telecom NZ.
