Re: Changed Qwest DSL service, now have connection problems.
An update. If I run the speed tests in IE, I see download results that match my expectations (1.2, 1.3 Mbps). While previously, my DSL connection was nearly 100% up to expectations, it is now about 80%. Most sites work fine, but now in both IE and Firefox, I can only see the main Yahoo site. All other Yahoo sites (sports.yahoo.com, mail.yahoo.com, etc...) eventually error out. Basically, anything with a subdomain under Yahoo. Also, I get an error logging into Windows Live messenger, and have to do a check/repair. Unfortunately, I haven't written down the error code, but can provide that next time. Also, I'm no longer able to log into Hotmail.
This is really annoying, and happens on all the computers in the house. There wasn't a single problem until I switched out the account for my DSL, had the phone jack re-wired and changed DSL modems.
Qwest chat support was worthless, the chat agent's view as that if I can connect to just one site, then things are working properly. |
