Networkstuff Ltd / Link Networks / Comsolve Networks outage
by Michael Hallager 26 Dec '03

26 Dec '03

Hello all. As of the 24th of December, all of our websites have been offline and our email unavailable due to the Net4U issue. As we were running all of this via a frame relay connection supplied by Net4u, we are experiencing delays getting back online until an alternative ISP can be found. I believe that we are close to closing a deal with another ISP, though I would welcome offers from other Auckland based ISPs, because I double appreciate the need for a "plan B" after this suddenly happening at the worst possible time. The requirements are: 1. Telecom ATM at ISP end. 2. A minimum of a /26, though a /25 would be preferred. 3. Delegated reverse DNS for IP addresses. 4. 10Gb per month of international and flatrate national. 5. Dreamers wanting 20 cents per meg for claimed "wholesale data" need not apply. I have more important things to do right now then waste my time or yours on such nonsense. If you are a "virtual ISP", do not bother applying either, as I can easy go to your upline and deal direct with those who actually have responsibility for the network. The circuit type at my end is a frame relay and the tail circuit is owned by my company. I can ONLY be reached at: michael(a)vivid.net.nz or below phone numbers. (After hours and weekend is fine). // Michael Hallager Director || Head geek || Making IT work.

I'm outside the Auckland CBD.[0] I've got a 2 Mbps down, 256 kbps up link to my house. That, plus my phone line, come to under $120/month total. To my mind that's affordable.[2] You might point out that this is also supplied by a telco, and that's true these days. But it wasn't originally set up by a telco. If you set your target as "DSL everywhere" then frankly I don't think all that much is going to be achieved. 1Mbps, 2Mbps, or even 10Mbps is so 1990s. I've been pleasantly surprised with just how successful DSL has been (internationally), given that it wasn't so many years ago we were told the POTS lines were good for 9600bps with a tail wind and not a bit more. But it's basically a dancing bear. Much as I think the Commerce Commission decision was probably the wrong decision for New Zealand[3], it's not really a major problem. All it means is that the Government isn't going to provide. Time for some Kiwi ingunity. Ewen [0] Approximately 800km outside the Auckland CBD, but that's outside the Auckland CBD.[1] [1] I'm not even sure why the Auckland CBD is the point of reference; there are other cities in New Zealand with better high speed connectivity. 100Mbps connections for less than what I know some organisations are paying for a single E1 across town in other cities. [2] For about $15 more per month I could get "pay TV" as well. Not that that'd be a whole lot of use, since I don't have a TV. [3] Cheap DSL everywhere would have been better than the current situation assuming it could be rolled out over a year or two -- as the Australia experience suggests.

I think that he may intend opening up FastAccess Limited, as he recently brought them out (employee of Net4u) ?? He has also just started up PC2Day Ltd with someone else.

Net4U disconnected

I guess most of you know about Net4U getting disconnected already, but for those who haven't heard, errm, Net4U has been disconnected. Completely. Looks like neither staff nor customers were told about the disconnection. Sahil hasn't returned my calls. Has anyone been told what he intends to do next? -- Juha
