Qtel Internet Downtime?

By GVA1278

Is anyone else experiencing downtime with their internet connection? Occasionaly my connection will kick out, and I have to reboot. This usually fixes it, but sometimes it's out for up to 8 hours, like today, where even a connection to the neighbour's unsecured WiFi would not allow me to access the internet.

A few friends are saying this is also happening to them. Does anyone know what is going on?

It's not a hardware/router problem, because it will be connected to the internet, but very occasionaly it will terminate itself and make me feel like putting my fist through the monitor.

Thanks,

this normally happens when q-tel is offering new products related to faster internet services. so its either you put up with the slow internet connection or you pay more for the faster one.

My outage today wasn't due to the line or the signal. My DSL was getting a good carrier. The equipment at the other end of the link wasn't responding to my modem.

Maybe their login/authentication system (radius or whatever) fell over in a big way.
