r45 4 Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 I'm having an annoying small problem with my ADSL line. It seems that when someone calls us on the phone line, sometimes the ADSL internet connection gets cut. Sometimes I have to take out the cable and put it back in, but sometimes have to restart the PC to get the internet working again. Anyone else have this or is it something that needs fixing on my connection? Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 It shouldn't do that. contact your provider. Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 Definitely a major problem. Unlikely something you will be able to fix on your own. Better call up support. Good Luck Link to post Share on other sites
fukdane 2 Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 Its happened to me before now, but not that often. SOunds like you should get it checked though. Link to post Share on other sites
zebedee 1 Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 That happens here too. NTT helpfully told me there was nothing that could be done. Link to post Share on other sites
OnTheTin 0 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 told me the same "nothing to do". Shikata ga nai, even. Link to post Share on other sites

nekobi 0 Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 happens to me too. even if i'm not connected to the internet, but making a call on my landline, there's static if the cable is plugged into my comp. really annoying. Link to post Share on other sites
dancing_barefoot 0 Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Looks like it may be a common problem - has happened to me too, very annoying. Link to post Share on other sites
frannyo 2 Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 It has happened to me a few times I remember when it was first put in and the NTT guy was here doing his stuff, he said that you may need to reconnect sometimes when that happens. It doesn't sound right to me that this should be happening.... Link to post Share on other sites
giggsy 0 Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Lots of people on broadband over there then? Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 There seems to be a lot of broadband throughout Japan. Since it took a little longer to get popular there it is also a bit faster. Not uncommon to get 8-12mbps DSL. In the USA 1.5mbps cable and 256-768kbps DSL are the broadband standards. Link to post Share on other sites
Goemon 0 Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Broadband is really taking off here after such meager beginnings a few years ago (especially compared to the headstart that Korea had). YahooBB is even offering a 26MB wireless LAN package now (obviously throughput can vary). And PON (with FTTC/FTTH/FTTB/FTTwhatever)is coming down the road soon, both here and in the US. That'll blow the doors off ADSL if the providers price it right and agree to some industry standards. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 I've had ADSL for about 2 years now. I'd go freaking nuts if I had to deal with the old speeds again. In 3 month's time, optical fibre lines are going to be available, and then I'll probably sign up for that. Link to post Share on other sites
viv&kev 0 Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 I'd go nuts with slow speed as well - on vacation the only connection we could use was a shared 56 modem line (3 internet connections). VERY slow, almost unusable. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Demand that they fix it, getting cut off all the time is just not normal and not on. Link to post Share on other sites
