Nildram Connection Stability

Not sure if anybody else is having this, may be a local issue, but every now and then the connection to Nildram's ADSL network drops out. It's a little like the DNS suddenly stops being able to resolve IP addresses, sometimes for a few seconds and others for a few minutes.

During this time websites, FTP’s.. any Internet service, becomes unresponsive and then suddenly springs back to life after a short period.

I've only noticed a repetition of this problem today, although there did seem to be a DNS/IP resolving outage at around 9am on Saturday (or was it Sunday.. hmmm) morning that lasted 30/40mins or so. Hopefully it's solved when I get back from work.
 
This has happened to me quite a few times with Nildram. But because I was not sure whether it was a fault with them, or a fault with the BT exchange, or even a fault with my router, I have never followed it up.

So if you are having similar problems, then maybe it is with Nildram.
 
Agree with the outage on Saturday morning, didn't know if it was to do with their upgrades, but as you say it was as if the DNS servers were down. Router seemed to connect but couldn't find anything.

Hi,
Just thought i'd pop on and let you guys know that if you log into 'my controls' on Nildram's site you'll see they have a few connection/stability issues listed in the tickets section. From what i read its still undergoing investigation.

Cheers,
Jez
 
Also there are alot of works on the exchanges, Ive seen some of over a week, get Nildram to do a woosh on your line and it will show up whats happening. Ask them for what it says exactly and also if it shows up a blank notice but it has the rest of the details there, I've seen it to cause the intermitant problems.
 
Had an outage on day 3 of Nildram - a Monday ,i couldn't get on at all. Went back to dial up and found they had problems at there end. Which were resolved after half an hour..
