Interesting...

I have only a 256Mbps and they all come up in 10-15 secs...

I am on an Ozemail/iiNet account, may be location specific...

Someone emailed me this:

I just tried the www.basketball.net.au site which loaded immediately.

I live in Aberfoyle Pk and have a 1.5mbps ADSL through optusnet.

Here are ping times to same

www.basketball.net.au
Average time over 10 pings: 35.6 ms

www.central.basketball.net.au
Average time over 10 pings: 40.3 ms

www.sarefs.basketball.net.au
Average time over 10 pings: 35.2 ms

www.ababasketball.net.au
Average time over 10 pings: 36.6 ms

www.tas.basketball.net.au
Average time over 10 pings: 35.6 ms

Yes, I too experience the massive wait trying to hit maximumasp.com - the other night I couldn't even get it to load within 5-10 minutes. Two minutes now and it still hasn't come up.

89250, what ISP are you using?

Well the domain servers at at
maximumasp.com the actual hosting site could be anywhere..

I am on adsl2 with internode

trex let me guess you are in the us?

No, Melbourne...

Anyone else able to have a look?

So far the problem could be SA- or Internode-specific...

Just had a quick look at work
www.tas.basketball.net.au
than
www.basketball.net.au

Both loaded in under 10 seconds, through Bigpond 256 - melbourne.
I'll let you know what its like at home later from internode melbourne from memory the BA site takes a while to load at home - so may be a internode thing?

Just tried the basketball.net.au site - all fully loaded in under 10 seconds - no problems whatsoever in navigating the site (other than the shite layout but thats another issue)

Im sitting in Brisy with Bigpond ADSL

hope that helps

Logically, the BA web the server and extrenal/attached systems must be working OK as those in Vic/QLD, so far, do not have a speed issue...something between them and what appears to be SA users is not kosher...I have tried to ping here and it always times out at techex.net.au as does the triplezero domain.

Hoops.com.au and Triplezero.com.au are both hosted with Destra on the same account, and not in South Australia.

I just realised I use Internode at home and not ADAM internet as stated. Maybe it is an Internode problem. All 3 sites I have tested it from used Internode. Wierd

trex what ip address does www.basketball.net.au resolve to.

Mine resolves to the 216.128.12.80 which is in the US and I find it hard to fathom that you are resolving to the same IP address and getting a ping of 35ms.

Possibly something relating to reported IP addresses? Doesn't Internode have independent IPs for each dial-up, but report a single one for most users in some situations?

89276, doesnt make much sense. "reported IP addresses", etc please explain.

I could be right Isaac it could be the transparent cache that they have in place. That is only in place in SA so if there is anyone from outside SA on internode it could be a good test, because at the moment it is appearing to be limited to internode.

So would it be up to users of internode to complain to them about this? Or would it be in BAs interest to sort this out with Internode considering around 35% of users in SA probably use internode from either home or work.

I should have read you, sorry :)

However i just remote desktoped to a windows server on internode but in mackay so it doesnt go through any cache and i get the same results, so it doesnt appear to be the internode transparent cache but it still appears to be a problem with internode, possibly.

BA resolves to: 216.128.12.80...

Maybe I will have to review my current intentions to churn to internode...256 ain't to bad after all..hahahaha

I think Internode will mask the true IP address within their network. So one Internode user might be x.x.x.63 and another might be x.x.x.64, but the referer will show to websites as a common x.x.x.y.

I've seen it happening here on the forum and spoken with Internode about it.


Trex, you say that as though you regularly feel the need to go to the BA site...

Isaac I think you will find what you are talking there is their cache engines, and generally if you ask them they will bypass sites for you. I am going to put in a support request to get them to look at it.

Yes, wasn't sure of the terminology, but that's my bet - that combined with their session creation.

Na...just that I was considering churning to another isp from Ozemail/iiNett, internode was one of a possible three i am considering...it is not good to hear of network speed issues that are not explinable and have been affecting users for 4plus weeks..

Then there were two TPG/Netspace..

Well Internode - Melbourne 512 comes in at under 10 seconds for all the sites.

Sorry guys purely a SA internode issue.

BTW who does actually visit those sites regularly?

Thanks for that DJ, your results probably add fuel to the fire for the internode proxy being the cause. The internode proxy is only implemented in SA

All those sites loaded up perfectly in a matter of seconds for me. I'm in the UK with 16meg broadband and haven't been to those sites before.

I'm on Bigpond cable in Adelaide and the sites load within 10 seconds for me.

I'm going through TransACT in Canberra for home, no issues what so ever. Work is another issue, but I'm not going into that for obvious reasons......

Hi

One of many discussions on Whirlpool re speed out of SA via Internode...and this may be more pertanant Click Here

I'm in sunny downtown Brisbane. All sites load in under 10 secs.

Which part of Brisy Sturty6ers?

Working in the City, living SW. Do you want to catch up for a coffee?

Yeah - or a beer would be my beverage of choice! I live on the GCoast and work in Albion so Im sure we can work something out.

Before someone tells us to get a room send your email address to [email protected]

All,

Thanks for your assistance on this matter.

Hopefully a resolution isn't too far away.
