(with nothing else turned on/connected)I spent a good 18months arguing with Optus about my crappy connection - til I went really, really quiet when I realised that I had a cat 5 plugged into a loop from the router to the modem where it wasn't needed.Pulled that out plug and it must have been some sort of coincidence, but Optus seemed to have fixed their issues at the same time Edited 16/01/14 11:44 AM by raband 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenDoCo I'm getten too old for this s**t Bronze Donating Members 4,509 Member For: 11y 17d Gender: Male Location: A big bridge over a river in South Australia Posted 16/01/14 11:58 AM Share Posted 16/01/14 11:58 AM as I said b4, fritz is C.R.A.P.Typical of an ISP Dags, to try and pass the buck or blame you coz of a program you choose to use.....As I said before, my biggest hate with copper line and a 350 buck fritz is the dropouts whilst using the PS3 --- you really notice it when your on a kill streak and all of a sudden..........bam....no connection.When I bought the first fritz and rang inode about the dropouts, the guy said "the internet wasn't designed for gaming consols". Now that comment = wanker.If I was just browsing the www, basically only doing what Jet mentioned above, I wouldn't notice dropouts but they would still be happening.Dropouts can have something to do with the way an ISP 'switches' the connection (no idea what that means though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(set all machines to get an IP instead of fixed)A home alarm that phones home every day at 8:30 for a system check?A neighbour that leaves for work at the same time and opens his garage door with a remote that is on the same frequency as your microwave?

Sounds like a scheduled thing that happens at 08:30 on a daily basis and so it might be something they have done.They just have not figured out what it is. Maybe a UPS that keeps the power running for the NBN box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
