Re: [ossig] DNS problems
Ah, no comment from here !?
Yet,: Don't tell anyone, please, and don't bash me. We've finally got
Streamyx after only three weeks between application and first 'up'.
Already a good starter.
Only online for last four weeks, we had a single real outage and
normally we get ~30 kByte as transfer rate. Downstream, of course.
A real cheapie compared to our earlier 1515-times.
If you read The Register at the all-too-well-known URL
(http://www.theregister.co.uk/), you'll find many Broadband-ers going
bust everywhere. Competition, price-cuts, etc.
I'm not going to defend tmnet here. So far only, we found the service
pretty much in order.
One of you mentioned, however, that these chaps actually have no
slightest idea about what they're doing. And this is very true.
One day 'our' PPP-counterpart was down. I told them by phone, but they
insisted someone 'must check the phone cable'. I said 'no need', because
I was using this very cable to lodge the complaint. No understand. Three
days later someone was not willing to buck off when I told him to do so.
He was sure and had been told to check our cable. Someone else had
already had rebooted the PPP by then, and since long.
Another nice one: Since I wanted to set up my own mailserver, all undue
relaying excluded, I found port 25 to be unaccessible from the outside.
So long, my full understanding. Then I sent a mail to Streamyx-support
requesting them to open it for me. Not that I thought they'd ever do me
that favour, but the answer was hilarious: they cannot because they need
this port for their own mailserver. No need to argue further.
Enjoy the holiday !
