Hello all - My family and I are at our wits end with an internet issue
We have been dealing with Slingshot and she's been a hard slog
My wife, computer illiterate and my 13 year old knows more than me
My wife has talked a few times to the customer service people and I have both talked and emailed the tech support team
In a nutshell, there is a download issue, it crawls and only barely, you connect fine on either wireless or ethernet but any download does not function
Slingshot have a process that they like you to follow, involves DNS Server changes, Running a script (bat file) etc, we have done all sorts, Slingshots requests and our own investigations, have tried a lot of things
Tracert and pathping using the CMD function shows the culprit, early time out either at or near modem
We have had very little in the way of direction of basic help from SS
SUMMARY
Line Speeds are fine - both wired and wireless, no issues - tested plenty
New Modem has been reset plenty
Affects PC and Laptop to the same level
Tried both PC and Laptop at another location under a different network and all fine .... so dont believe it is any settings or firewalls in any computer
We can read Stuff and Trademe and vaguely watch youtube with plenty of buffering going on, when you download anything it will take 2 to 15 hours
Any ideas on what else we can try ?
Much appreciated - Cheers
Aaron and Jenny
