Any aussies having problems with bigpond? - GoFuckYourself.com

AnneT · 10-16-2005, 09:32 PM

I can't access any cogent sites at the moment

It comes and goes but mostly I get nothing. I called the bigpond 'techs'. I had to spell cogent to them. No idea.

Try this:
http://status.cogentco.com/

or one of my sites:

http://sexymgp.com/

BTW I'm on ADSL and I'm in Tassie, if that helps at all.

Kevin2 · 10-16-2005, 10:41 PM

Works fine for me down in Melbourne.

AnneT · 10-16-2005, 10:45 PM

Cool. Thanks Kevin.

Anyone else?

Yeah, I'm not too happy either. Should have known better really. Unfortunately there's no cable down here. Might need to try another ADSL provider

Woah! Never heard of it hehe! We got crapola internet but at least we got a decent public golf course

Thanks for the help, btw^

Looking at DoDo or Internode right now

Darkhorse · 10-16-2005, 11:47 PM

Why in gods name would you go with dodo? those wankers offer 70MB downloads with there Broadband plans fuck that shit.

If you want to be overcharged with downloads then go ahead, but my advice is to go with http://www.ozemail.com.au/ get there 1500 BB2 plan it rocks.

Of course go with dodo's 256KB plan and there massive 70MB download limit if you wish.

Nope.
iiNet - they are *the* best in australia at the moment.

I pay $70 a month for 120GB downloads, at 12mBit, + VOIP + discounted calls.

Can't get any better than that!

I signed my brother up with 'Dodo', but only because we got a free scooter with it.

Man that scooter was fucking fun.

The internet service was average, if anyone is interested.

Yeah, seems like dodo sucks ass. I just applied with Internode. Might give ozemail a try too. Thanks for the advice

How does this BB2 thingo work? up to 12000/1000. Is that possible on ADSL? I can't get ADSL2.

Cool. It seems to be something specifically relating to bigpond and cogent.

Anyone else from vic/tas having problems? Or anyone from there that CAN load those sites with bigpond?

Sweet. That's all I need to hear.

Typical telstra. I had to try to explain to the techs what cogent was. Like I know what I'm talking about LOL
