same sh!t here.

You try Google DNS? I kinda wanna stay away from it. I mean i already have google screwing me over with their other sh!t

slick · Postby **slick** » March 14th, 2010, 11:08 pm

I didn't try google dns but I am using opendns so I don't think changing DNS would help in this case.

Postby **SRASC** » March 14th, 2010, 11:10 pm

Personally that worked for me. I was using OpenDNS at the time myself.

Just log into the router go to

Advanced Setup
DNS
DNS Server

Uncheck Enable Automatic Assigned DNS & then change the Primary DNS Server to 8.8.8.8 & the Secondary DNS Server to 8.8.4.4

Save & Reboot

(if using the Zhone/Paradyne 6218-I2)

It is for me, but my connection as whole is running at a fraction of what it is supposed to so I think that's the cause

blink seems to be having issues nationwide. thought it was only me who had to keep rebooting d modem and still not getting the speed i'm paying for

is this because of the so called 'communications blackout' ?

You need to call them so they can send a signal to your router and refresh the bandwidth setting.

Swisha · Postby **Swisha** » November 6th, 2010, 2:17 pm

called them since last week, d indian tech went thru d normal modem settings, reset my password, do a speedtest only to come to d conclusion that i wasnt getting the speed i'm paying for which was y i called in d 1st fackin place, then said they would send a tech.

a tech came to check the settings, spend bout ah hour in mih house and still couldnt do sheit, then said he would pass it on to 'broadband' and d 'exchange' guys.

a 'broadband' person called wed. gone and said they would call back later that day to set an appointment for when i would be home, still waiting on that call...

and the speed is only half the problem, y the f-ing H does my connection keep dropping? steups
