Loss of Routing - does it affect all LLU operators?

as we all know, O2/Be still havnt been able to resolve the issue reguarding the loss of routing, ie cant get response from anything until, interface is either "applyed" "ucast_solicit=0" or "shut no shut" of the dsl interface, or alternatively try pinging anything in your WAN subnet

what i was wondering are all operators effected by this, ie BT with there new 20meg service, sky, Easynet

im only asking cos i got 91 disconnections (loss of sync) yesterday (im just as gob smacked) and i informed O2 about the loss of routing as a seperate issue, he said he was aware of it but it only seems to effect non o2 branded routers, netgears etc

this is a BE/O2 specific problem, obviously the way they have configured their equipment.

also I am not sure if your problem is the same thing, I dont think the problem causes a loss of synch, but someone on BE/O2 can help you better than me.

I used to have the same problem on Sky.

It was the reason I migrated to BE and that fixed it.

you mean you had a problem with similiar symptons that noone else has publicly reported.

Unless you can confirm the BE/O2 fix fixed your exact problem you cannot logically assume sky have the same issues.

This specific problem is a O2/BE problem with the way they talk to end user equipment. Dont mislead the OP just so you can have another argument.

Now obviously 'any' isp can have routing issues but this will include cable as well as non LLU adsl isp's.

No, I mean I had the same problem on sky and I fixed it by migrating to BE.

Hi

No problems with Be here, never get loss of routing and the connection is up for weeks at a time and never a hint of a problem.
