Any aussies having problems with bigpond?
 

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.

Works fine for me down in Melbourne.

Cool. Thanks Kevin.

Anyone else?

i'm on optus... i was a previous bigpond cable user... wasn't a happy customer...

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 :(

I'm with bigpond in Melb and they are not coming up here.

Hey Anne have you played golf at www.barnbougledunes.com.au yet... :thumbsup just been ranked in the top 50 golf courses in the world...

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

Thanks for the help, btw^

Looking at DoDo or Internode right now :)

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.

:1orglaugh

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.

Not that I'm Australian or anything.. O_o

sites working here in qld on aapt ADSL

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?

Thats sounds pretty sweet mate, I'll have to check them out

Thanks.

i have several clients sites that often dont load for anyone using telstra... all other ISPs are fine. I have tried to contact telstra to see if its an issue with them but havent heard back from them.

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
