freitasm: What DNS are you using?
Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries
BiggusDoggus: I have to say - the time it has taken you to log on to Geekzone and enter your posts, you could have rung Telecom and had the problem sorted directly?
Just a thought (and possibly optimistic around the timeframes, but hopefully you get my drift...)

markwolk: Did a modem reboot + a PC restart. Changed DNS from "Obtain automatically" to Google DNS. To no avail. This is this page after loading for 2 minutes:
markwolk: Well, 6 months later keeping you informed, should this happen to others.
Telecom did not find anything wrong. Their engineers did spend quite a lot of time with me, and received all my screenshots and info by email. According to them, the fault is not on their side.
Well, it's not on my side either, since I now have a new PC with a different OS (Windows 7) and the same behaviour occurs intermittently. I also tried to change my router - to no avail.
The ONLY way to avoid that behaviour altogether is to connect via an overseas IP. I am now using StrongVPN with a dedicated IP address from California.
It's a total mystery why this happened to me several times in the past, and with several different computers. I had an identical issue with Orcon in Auckland. Maybe a program running on my PC causes the Telecom exchange to freeze over a long period of time... But I don't use any torrents, don't dowload movies or MP3s, and only use lightweight programs. Strange.
