It seems that Zfree is delibratley slowing down Internet access to some of Orcon's internal network. If we test by dialing up using a Zfree account, most of our network is blazingly fast, however access to our Mail server and FreeHost server is painfully slow. (mail.orcon.net.nz and freehost.orcon.net.nz) Last time we informed them of this problem, the issue mysteriously went away - but now it is back again a week later. I suspect that Zfree is delibratley rate-shaping the amount of traffic that can go to our mail server and our freehost server from their network to prevent people from accessing them. It is quite frustrating when it is our helpdesk that is recieving all the calls (because theirs is 0900), when it is actually their problem - especially when the customers that are calling us are not actually using us for dialup. Any system administrators for Clear got something to say about this? ;-) -- Cheers Seeby Orcon Internet - www.orcon.net.nz --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
