scottjames84: not that I know of, I am new to slingshot too, since friday, not impressed at all; all though that is not surprising.


How long have you been having this problem?

Works For Me?

On another note:
How long does it take for SlingShot to update the usage stats on their website?

EDIT: I can see my data when I go to the visibill.co.nz website.. But not on the SlingShot one.

Pay the ETR and leave, then.

My Slingshot connection is fine, if that helps.

 
 
 

Move to New Zealand's best fibre broadband service (affiliate link). Note that to use Quic Broadband you must be comfortable with configuring your own router.

System: So it looks like it is a problem for more than just me, its only certain websites, big websites that would be cached work fine but others either don't load at all or only load sometimes, also was going to try setting up DNS and that didn't work either.

Not a very good start to my time on Slingshot, has slingshot reported any known problems?


i had this problem awhile ago and it turned out to be my Belkin modem would happen at random it would just not load web pages or it would loose connection to Xbox live. Got a new modem and haven't had any problems since
