Internet acting up even worse than usual - it's like it knows someone'll be coming around tomorrow to put a stop to it, so it's making the most of it ^^;

Not even sure I'll be able to get on AIM at all tonight it's being that flaky - I'll try in a bit though (although it'll probably just stress me out more) :|

Yay!

After being put on hold for just short of an hour, I finally managed to get the line fault reported - they're coming out tomorrow afternoon to fix it. (Apparently the fault is in the building, but it's not my equipment at fault, so they shouldn't charge me for coming out).

Normal service will be resumed anon :D

Well, whatever the problem with my connection is, it's not my fault - I bought a new phone & microfilter today and moved the router so I wasn't using an extension, but it's still happening. Strangely the phone is still dead, although I've been reconnected (or I wouldn't have the ADSL working).

I have a feeling it's a line fault now, rather than a problem with my ISP - looking at the router logs it seems to be getting a lot of noise (if I'm reading it right - it's not very clear).

I'll try contacting BT and seeing if they know what's up, as now I'm paying for both phone and internet and neither are usable. :|

Oh well...

I've got the Internet back - true, but the other problem is still at large; connections keep timing out and my ADSL keeps disconnecting (I was chatting with [livejournal.com profile] yubberducky and suddenly nothing was getting through, and then I couldn't get onto AIM until I put the DNS servers into the list manually again, by which time she was gone D: ). I'm assuming Tiscali are working on the lines or something, and it's not some vendetta against me :|

Still, I hoped they'd be done with it by the time I got back - apparently not :(

BACK!!!

Yay!!! I woke up this morning and they've reconnected my internet! :DDD

Oh, and a KH meme from [livejournal.com profile] princess_saix:
Warning: opinions follow this cut... )

k... I found out my new phone number the other day, and told Tiscali, so they'll be transferring the broadband over now (probably be another week or so).

I bought Leopard yesterday, and so far it seems pretty nice (I made a backup just in case, but it turned out I didn't need it - everything survived the upgrade OK :) ). I'm having slight trouble with Apache, but it should be simple to sort it out when I get home and haven't got quite so much sake in me :)

Oh, and I got a new coat - it's full length black leather, and it's really billowy & dramatic-looking... I'll post pics when I get the chance :D

OK, apparently my new line is connected, although you could've fooled me by the way picking up the phone results in silence...

I'm going to pick up a new phone today while I'm out in case the old one is broken, but I'm not really holding much hope at the moment. In any case, if they say they've reconnected it that probably means it won't be long before it actually is reconnected, and then I'll be able to phone Tiscali with the new number to get the broadband transferred to the new line (hopefully that bit won't take very long - I can't remember how long it took when I moved house as the time to connect the phone line was part of it then too)

Such a damn hassle ):

In other news, I seem to be out of the depression I've been in for the last few weeks, so I'm pretty happy about that. Here's hoping it lasts :D

DDD:

Looks like I'm off the internet for now (except for when I'm at college or whatever) - BT finally cut the line yesterday. Now I've got to wait for it to get reconnected, then get the broadband transferred over to the new line, so yeah - long time before I get back properly.

(Oh, if it's not too much trouble, could someone mention this in the disappearances thread on LP? Thanks :) )
saviourseph: (Mudkipz)
OK, it happened again - got to about 1am and everything became slow, but appeared to be fine this morning. It's like they're telling me to get to bed at a decent time or something D:

I put in a support request with Tiscali, but I'm not really expecting much to come of it - I'll probably just get something akin to "Is your computer plugged in?" 9_9

Having said that, I should really be grateful I have an internet connection at all, seeing as BT decided to disconnect my phone on the day I paid the bill, and now are asking for £125 just to reconnect it. *stupid near-monopoly of the British phone network* D:<

Oh, and for some reason the college lets me onto y!Gallery - pretty strange, seeing as I can't even get onto forums here. Nice, although I'm a bit wary of going there in case the tutor decides to look at what I'm doing and sees a screenful of gay sex... XD

Well, the internet started working again about half 8 this morning, only to crap out again when I needed it >_>

I think I've found the problem though - I put the DNS server list on the computer (the router normally gets this info itself from Tiscali, but when I checked the admin page it wasn't being filled in for some reason). Guess something's up with their servers.

Anyway, It seems to be fixed now :D
