Yesterday around lunchtime my internet went from a 1.5MB connection to a 200KB connection. And stayed this way for the rest of the day. After troubleshooting at my end I decided to call my ISP (internode). The very first thing the tech tried to tell me was that my modem was borked. I then told him that my Mum and Dad were having the same connectivity issues and their ADSL runs from the same exchange. His response was that "Maybee all of the little routers at the exchange were updating their firmware all at the same time" By this time I was and felt like telling him to shut the front door if you know what I mean. Why do these people treat the end user like a dumbass? They do not like it when they are proven wrong? I would have thought that a tech would appreciate a customer that has done all the leg work for them.
Ill bet some of the guys and gals here will laugh at the firmware comment
