Has anyone else noticed this recently?
I'm not actually on esat at all, but their twin iol. assuming, that
iol/esat share some of their resources, there should be some common
problems.
But for a few weeks now, iol have after a while of being connected, simply
stopped returning data to my modem. a redial fixes it, or data flow
returns within anywhere from 30sec to 10 min.
This has been been bugging me a lot, so i've tried connecting with
different modems, OS's, phone points, but the problem has repeated itself
with each.
During a data blackout, i can ping the remote modem, and it responds.
but if i ping another iol server (eg. the dns), i get no response.
it really looks like there is some screwy networking tying the dialups to
the backbones.
So does anyone have any ideas why, solutions, or otherwise?
