I have no other disconnections ever. And it only seems to happen when I'm hitting a usenet server via my Covad service directly (if I VPN somewhere else, it never happens). ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Anyone-else-having-weirdness-with-usenet-21832249 Fri, 30 Jan 2009 07:17:07 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Anyone-else-having-weirdness-with-usenet-21828730 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Anyone-else-having-weirdness-with-usenet-21828730 Thu, 29 Jan 2009 16:02:11 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Anyone-else-having-weirdness-with-usenet-21828256
Over the last 6-8 months or so, I've begun to have issues with Covad's service ONLY when I'm doing heavy Usenet traffic (downloading a TV show, large messages, or grabbing a lot of headers from one new group). If I'm doing this, Covad cuts off briefly (for about 5-10 seconds) and then comes back.

However, if I VPN somewhere else and do the same traffic via a VPN connection, it doesn't ever cut off.

I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing the same thing, or if I'm just lucky. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Anyone-else-having-weirdness-with-usenet-21828256 Thu, 29 Jan 2009 14:43:37 EDT
