Has anyone else hit this recently.

I've tried raising support tickets via their website and also sending emails to support@

90+ % of the time I get nothing. No acknowledgement of the ticket or follow up from Orcon.

I did try getting them on the phone to resolve things and I was informed that they can't support me as I run my own email server and that must be the root cause of all the problems.

I've been having issues connecting to quite a lot of websites recently and they appear to be CDN related and I until Orcon sort out their support ticket system I appear to be stuck with the situation.

Any thoughts other than sitting on their support line in the hope I get someone local rather than off shore who can actually resolve my problems.

It's to do with Orcon's next advertising campaign. 'We now have a 90% drop in reported errors' :)




I'm not a complete idiot, I still have some parts missing.

If you PM me your account details, and what queue you sent it to, I'll have a look and also ask the relevant staff to address the issue.

(On Orcon UFB 30/10).

That site is fine on IE from here. Not sure how long it takes for your reset error but I roamed around the site for a bit.

It looks CDN centric as once I hit the error i'm stuck unless I change the URL to https

I assume you are using Orcon DNS servers? CDN's use DNS servers to choose best places to serve content from.

Do you by chance have a basic modem to retest with?

Just to rule out the complexity openwrt brings.
