Are you on a Telstra connection?
Have you been having problems accessing your website and email?

If so, please let us know so that we can get some idea of the effect that this problem is having on our clients. (Just click on the comments button under this post)

For the last couple of weeks, the Telstra network has been experiencing connectivity problems, as documented by people all around australia on the Whirlpool.net.au broadband forums

It has been estimated that around 400,000 sites are unavailable via the Telstra network, including high profile international ones like www.excite.com and www.linuxtoday.com

Here at WebAngel we have had many calls from Telstra users asking whether our systems are down.
They aren’t, and if you try to reach them from a non Telstra network then you won’t have any problems.

Telstra support don’t seem to be of much help, as discussed in this Whirlpool posting.

However, we’d recommend that you try to make a complaint anyway.

There’s nothing we at WebAngel can do to fix this problem. Our equipment is fully operational, and can be accessed without problems from a non Telstra ISP.

If you are affected by these problems, we suggest you obtain a backup dialup connection with another ISP - (we use and recommend iprimus.com.au - who have plans available from $5 per month - ideal as a backup)

We’ve just about had enough of ADSL problems over the last couple of weeks - and will be moving to an alternative broadband provider ASAP.
