Hi Severin, I was wondering are these freeze-ups something that started happening in the last year or so?
I know when I first got Broadband in Albany around 4 years ago, my connection would stay up for many months on end without re-connecting then I would get the occasional lock-up which seems to have got more frequent over the last year. As you say, it is immediately fixable by re-booting the modem though it has resulted in a few extra phone charges when we hadn¹t noticed the modem had locked and the outgoing calls went through Telstra instead of VOIP :o( I had just put it down to the modem getting a bit old (around 4 years also) but sometimes I do wonder if it is Telstra playing silly buggers down at the exchange! I am with Internode but they don¹t have their own gear in the Albany exchange- so it all goes through the Telstra hardware - I would guess it is the same for you with Westnet? So, have you noticed an increase in freeze-ups over the last year or so? Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
