Rik, good?

Just lost it here, again, now back! Sync was OK

I think my issues are unrelated hard to be sure, my connection goes off randomly sometimes twice in a matter of minutes, internet light goes out and sometimes goes red briefly then comes back on other times it just goes out and I loose sync. I believe the culprit to be a dodgy extension cable hopefully my issues will cease when I replace it. Would be so easy to blame the ISP wouldnt it?

Just had a loss of connection. My son's xbox360 suddenly went off line and I made the mistake of rebooting the router, which then wouldn't sync. Took about 5 minutes before the connection reappeared.

Anybody else had issues this evening?

I seem to have lost DNS a couple of times, but only briefly. No PPP drops.

Hard to be sure about pings/speed, I've got both cores on the iMac completely maxed out on other tasks, but it seems OK.

Same here. It's happened every evening this week. I'm not a gamer, so it's more an irritation than anything else - thus far anyway...

Not sure it should bother gamers- the router should have recent DNS entries cached. I only notice it if I go to a new site- this one (and others I've visited frequently/recently) continues to work fine.

I must admit I hadn't previously thought about it too much, but looking back, what I have been seeing when it happens is timeouts on a refresh.

I also have to admit that I don't do online gaming, so I'm guessing .

But what you say seems reasonable.
