Sorry for being a n00b but just a few days ago, I've been having trouble surfing at home and I'm not sure if it's Screamyx or TMNut's barely 1-year old Riger Modem... Here's an example of my situation:

Turn on computer > Access GMail / Yahoo! Mail = OK. Facebook = Cannot.
Restart Modem > Access Facebook / GMail = OK. Yahoo! Mail = Cannot. (Or very slow in loading)
Restart Modem > GMail / Facebook / Yahoo! Mail = OK... After 30mins or so, cannot load or very slow in loading webpage

If I restart the modem again, it might go back to the first situation. Some websites that I normally visit either cannot load or load extremely slow that it gives up. I've tried all, Firefox / IE / Google Chrome, same results for the websites I'm trying to access. But when I'm at the office, no problem.

I called up TMNut, said my line was fine. What to do? icon_question.gif

That Riger modem is a dog that has to be put down.. with an interface so needlessly complicated and difficult for newbs to configure and to figure out anything, you're better off with another combo modem/router with a more user-friendly interface..

Get something like a D-Link 2640T for cheap... good cheap and reliable router thats easy to configure.. first thing i did when i got mah Broadband... ditched the PITA Riger...

The thing is, I've been using it for almost a year and it hasn't given me any problems until just these past few days (after a major thunderstorm)... Right now, my speeds are still good but webpage wise, I can't really view a lot of different webpages. So, is it actually a modem problem then? Or just some lousy Streamyx issue?

it's clearly an streamyx issue and you all advise JessCC to change modem/router ? lol

I have 2 SDSL line in office and having same problem as JessCC since Monday. Both SDSL line having problems loading certain page. The worst is line 1, cannot load google and yahoo.

Called 1800 multiple times and at last they use the excuse that they are having service maintanence at our area.

Maintanence since when ? Don't know.

Maintanence will take how long ? Don't know.

WTF did they know ?

THANK YOU!! You make me feel less alone! rclxm9.gif

The only problem is, there is no maintenance going on in my area (or so they say) and they said my line is OK. I told them, I want to make a report so that the technician can come in and they said, cannot because the line is OK on their side. At the end, I forced them to make a report, now waiting for technician... I have one line that can load Google and another that cannot... No clue which is which and what is wrong. And yes, since Monday. vmad.gif

OK, TMNut just called me up and told me that there is a cable problem somewhere, so, it IS their freaking problem after all! vmad.gif

Told me they are looking into it and hopefully get things sorted by this week. We shall see... shakehead.gif
