Anyone having problems with Comcen ADSL+ since last night?
I was constantly getting dropped out last night and only to notice this morning my internet was no longer working. I tried to reset the modem, but DSL light would flash intermittently and wouldn't connect.

Are you able to get a line sync?

If not you had best call Comcen as you may have a line fault (Try an isolation test first).

nope works fine

Perhaps your hard drive is too fragmented and needs defragging, have you considered running defrag?

I can feel the sarcasm from this post just oooozing out my monitor... ;)

Had a similar experience today afternoon. No internet and pages could not find server. Nothing had changed from the previous night when the internet was working. However, I did notice that I was still able to receive E-mail and only the Spin website loaded.
So i went to my Modems setup and changed my ADSL username to [phonenumber]@spin.net.au whereas previously according to the modem setup guide (Billion 7300) on the spin website it should be [phonenumber]@dsl.spin.net.au For Users in ACT, WA, NT, SA & TAS.
Not sure why this is in the guide, but changing it to [phonenumber]@spin.net.au solved the problem instantly.
Hope that helps..
