Hi, I am based in Auckland and during the last couple of weeks; my internet connection has been occasionally dropping during the evening. (Is happening between every 10 minutes and an hour or so)

This only lasts for between 30 seconds and a couple of minutes at a time.

Re-booting the router / PC does not help and I have found that just by waiting traffic will usually start flowing again.

The situation is worse during off peck. 2am to 8am and almost never happens between 8am and 5pm.

When the connection is down I get destination unreachable when pinging any IP address.  

Tonight I lost internet connection completely between 3am and approx 5am

Unfortunately slingshot helpdesk is closed when I am having trouble and i cannot read the letters in their “are you a human test” to register to on their forum

I’m on a wireless router and I’m just waiting to know if anyone else having this problem before I start testing routers.

Does your router show the PPP connection dropping?
