@ Nasserd, sorry I just saw this, I have had atleast 2 other members complain about not being able to access the site, not sure whats been going on, could be traffic, could be that our ISP is being blocked by other ISP's or traffic to our ISP is being blocked by others. Unless DNS entries have been fuckered and dont get refreshed soon, you might continue to face problems. I'm sorry but I dont know what else to recommend.

i had problems with verizon long distance a couple years ago. my parents divorced, and they refused to reconnect service to our condo until my ex-father paid HIS bill. they told my mother NO ONE could get service at that address until the balance was cleared - such bullshit. they ARE evil!

Hi e, thanks for the info.

To all, thanks for the details. I reset my dsl modem + wireless router and all that... still doesn't work (got a new IP from DSL thing, renewed it... still no luck). I guess I'll be accessing only from work the next couple of days (as I am now, via VPN).

It appears -e- et al. are on to something. If Vzn misconfigured their DNS in spite of TimeWarner (of which MS is hosted through their lines; i can tell that much via tracerouting), then they are EVIL. If not, they are still evil and I hope to download some new tunes 'cuz Aug seems pretty, but I haven't dl'd a thing in 1 month!!!

Peace!

(Admins: pls feel free to lock this thread up; I doubt there's anything more to share.)

what is your speed with them? you can upgrade to 1.5 for like $15 more / month.

nassered- run nslookup and see what you get for MS. Also if you determine it is a DNS issue you can hardcode in other DNS servers as a work around (use an AT&T server or some such). I doubt this is a DNS issue by the very nature of DNS querys (I doubt verizon is the authority for the record) but it doesen't hurt to look into it.

Comcast Cable sux major wang too! but that's what we're stuck w/ when they are give monopoly power!

Yeah, it's either Comcast Cable or SBC Yahoo DSL, both suck major time. Weird stuff happens on sbc dsl - i always have unstable connection on saturday evenings.

[the sun the sea]

yeah, verizon dsl sucks.

i had that shit but it kept going out on me. so i switched to adelphia cable, which is better but those bastards cap my uploads.

you kids should spend a week on 56k ... i bet you would accept what you have. :wink:

I had verizon dsl for almost a year with no problems with it interfering with [ms]. Although, it might be a problem in specific parts of the country though.

I must say, I feel for anyone on dial up still

I have dsl at home and a T3 at the office. Pretty soon FTTH (fibre to the home) is going to start being designed and built. Now you're talking serious speed.
the likes of 622Mbps fwd & 155Mbps return

I design broadband/rf and fibre optic networks for a living. This technology is in the works now. Some markets already have it such as areas of NYC, and it is being designed in Tampa. Its something that will take a while to get to every area due the cost of the actual design and building of the networks and of FCC regulations being sorted out. But it will change cable/phone/internet as we now know it. And Verizon are the ones pushing this.

There is also a company called Wild Blue Communications that is going in the satellite internet direction.

Okay, I'm back in business... the culprit?! The DSL modem's PPPoE connection had to be reset a couple of times.

Thx to all who've suggested shit. The people at Vzn Dsl cust serv were like "it's your fault" and i was like "shut the fuck up" and they said "okay" and i said "it works now"

See that PPPoE thing is bullshit. Honestly you should look into getting a Linksys router (if you already don't have one) and use the settings on it to maintain the PPPoE 'tunnel' (for lack of a better word). You'll likely never have a problem that way. Good to see your back though.
