Tracert most certainly will allow the use of www -- or any other domain or subdomain.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DSL-Extremely-Sporadic-Connections-28036101 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 09:21:31 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DSL-Extremely-Sporadic-Connections-28035673

I allso just noticed that you had www.yahoo.com the cmd tracert tool does not alow the use of the www just use the domain name.
yahoo.com]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DSL-Extremely-Sporadic-Connections-28035673 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 01:44:44 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DSL-Extremely-Sporadic-Connections-28035185 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DSL-Extremely-Sporadic-Connections-28035185 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 21:44:43 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DSL-Extremely-Sporadic-Connections-28035153
Told him what was going on. Told him I was receiving these DNS servers from the PPPoE server:

host 199.224.86.16
16.86.224.199.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer resolve-86-16.dlls.pa.frontiernet.net.

host 199.224.127.46
46.127.224.199.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer resolve01.clsm.pa.frontiernet.net.

and he said those weren't correct and to use:

74.40.74.40
and
74.40.74.41

Issue seems resolved so far. Took about 4 minutes. I wish all calls happened that way. There really needs to be an "I know what I'm doing, let me talk to Level2" button on the IVR.

So why is the Clark Summit, PA/Dallas, PA DSLAM giving out wrong DNS servers?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DSL-Extremely-Sporadic-Connections-28035153 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 21:30:04 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DSL-Extremely-Sporadic-Connections-28035133
OK.. something is very fishy with call routing at the call center.

I just called back in at the same time from both of my phones.

My 570-324-xxxx phone went into a queue, while 570-707-xxxx phone went directly to a technician. That's exactly how it happened the first time around.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DSL-Extremely-Sporadic-Connections-28035133 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 21:23:49 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-DSL-Extremely-Sporadic-Connections-28035022

After fighting with Frontier for about 1.5 years, we finally got a remote DSLAM installed about a mile from the house to correct some major issues we were having. Things have been great since then.

Over the last month though, very sporadically we experience the inability to get to websites for minutes at a time. At one time we might be able to get to website X, but not Y. 3 minutes later Y will load but not Z.

I've seen this happen on multiple computers, and even plugged right into the DSL modem.

Values look fine on the DSL modem and traceroutes and pings don't show any packet loss or high latency.

Issues seem to last about 15-20 minutes and then go away for a few hours or a few days.

EDIT: Looks like it may be a Frontier DNS problem?

ON A COMPLETELY UNRELATED NOTE:
What on earth is up with Frontier's support center queueing?? I was on hold for 12 minutes on our primary line and needed to run away from the phone for a few minutes, so I called in on my cell planning to assign a callback. While I was in the middle of assigning a call back (in queue for about 2 minutes) someone answered the phone!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/DSL-Extremely-Sporadic-Connections-28035008 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 20:37:57 EDT
