  | having problems accessing some freebie siteswhen trying to access some sites, including http://www.gameconsolegiveaway.co.uk/ http://www.freebiepcs.co.uk/ http://www.freebiemp3.co.uk/ they always time out. they use to work perfectly though. I've tried them under FF, IE and using different computers (but on the same ISP - SkyBB). Anyone know what the problem could be? |

| Re: having problems accessing some freebie sitesmaybe just a problem with Sky while you were trying to access it. We all the pc's in your house? And Jon, is sky broadband any good? I hear it's around £15 for their highest speed which is 16mb? I think... |

| Re: having problems accessing some freebie sitesWhy would Jon know? Granted he might by chance but not everybody has tried every isp. Is that command prompt correct Jon? I typed it into mine to check but I get an error type message.

| Re: having problems accessing some freebie sitesmy mistake its tracert, original post corrected as to the ISP it depends on what you need it for, I have never had any big issues with my ntl cable (apart from when a nearby building was hit by lightenting and it fried the green box on the street) and they dont have any download cap in place

| Re: having problems accessing some freebie sitesi'm pretty happy with sky - I use to be on MetroNet (the PAYG one), but so far Sky's been quite good. My DL is about 10-14Mb. not had any problems so far - dunno if this is one yet. here's the text from "tracert freebiepcs.co.uk" Code: tracert freebiepcs.co.uk Tracing route to freebiepcs.co.uk [66.29.79.13] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 192.168.0.1 2 45 ms 56 ms 42 ms 195.189.159.220 3 30 ms 30 ms 28 ms 82.111.96.49 4 31 ms 30 ms 30 ms ip-89-200-132-53.ov.easynet.net [89.200.132.53] 5 30 ms 29 ms 30 ms ge2-1-0.er3.tclon.uk.easynet.net [89.200.130.0] 6 28 ms 28 ms 28 ms ge0-0-0.er3.thlon.uk.easynet.net [82.108.6.150] 7 104 ms 103 ms 231 ms linx.peer.nac.net [195.66.224.94] 8 107 ms 107 ms 107 ms 0.so-5-0-0.gbr1.mmu.nac.net [209.123.11.53] 9 107 ms 107 ms 148 ms 0.ge-0-3-0.dar1.mmu.nac.net [209.123.11.154] 10 * * * Request timed out. 11 * * * Request timed out. 12 * * * Request timed out. 13 * * * Request timed out. 14 * * * Request timed out. 15 * * * Request timed out. 16 * * * Request timed out. 17 * * * Request timed out. |

| Re: having problems accessing some freebie siteshmm OK, I'll do that. Any tips on any specific wording I should use? I know Sky have a support #, but this is probably best explained over email I think, so I'll check if they've got online support. Thanks Jon!  |

| Re: having problems accessing some freebie sitesjust something along the lines of I am having problems accessing a site www.....com while others on a different isp can access it just fine, I have ran a trace route to the site and it seams to time out at the following step, say you have deleted temporary files/cache/cookies etc and also tried installing a different web browser to no joy

| Re: having problems accessing some freebie sitesAn internet traffic router in Europe went down and did cause a lot of problems for people accessing my football site. It also affected 'YepItsFree' members, all seems fine now though. |

| Re: having problems accessing some freebie sitesI find it amazing how some of you guys have extra greens (I'm looking at YOU, Strider  )Yeah, contacted Sky - they're a bit confused. They said they may call me back or something. |

| Re: having problems accessing some freebie sitesT2 support got back to me - they still seem confused. They've no idea what's going on - suggested that I ask the site hosts to make sure their DB is up to date and that my IP isn't being blocked (which I doubt will work, right?) Anyway, it's been upgraded to T3 now, so let's see what happens. |
