Stealthbomber Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Haven\'t been able to get on Arnies all night. Cazboab is having the same problem. I managed to get here using a proxy server but the only thing we can think of is that BTInternet has blocked access to Arniesairsoft.co.uk I know there\'s nothing anybody here can do but I thought it might be worth mentioning.

Night_raven Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 I'm on BT Internet, and i'm now able to get access to it without using a proxy. Couldn't this morning though, and last night was fine for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marlowe Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Stealth / Caz: Is this sorted? Was it a temporary error with DNS for BT? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cazboab Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 It is fixed but it was not DNS- BT were (deliberately or otherwise) blocking connections to arnie's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stealthbomber Posted October 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Seems that Mumbai Telecom took the hint and got it fixed. I feel like phoning them back just to say "See? I told you it wasn't my firewall or AV software or any of that other sh*t you tried to blame it on this morning!" but they obviously wouldn't be able to reply because it isn't on their script.

T3CH Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 I just assumed the servers were down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarMonkee Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Just to let you know this is pretty common place with BT, amount of times I had to lie for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skarclaw Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 BT, for such a major player are total gash. I ended up switching after they blocked my torrents and then stopped me from getting on rapidshare, then lied about it, the *Ubarflock*. Luckily I got out the contract after they stopped our internet cause we were using a home account (for our home) even though our home was also registed as a business, so I went with a slightly more expensive, smaller ISP with no problems. Sorry for the rant but bt really are *suitcasey*. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chimpy Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 I won't even go into the trouble I had moving from one place to another and getting BT to transfer the line and broadband. Three feckin months of telephoning to sort out! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stealthbomber Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 For me, the main attraction of BT was the reliability of service. In 3 years of use I've had one day of no service. By contrast, my sister in law uses Tiscali and their service is usually down at least once an hour for a couple of minutes. Funny thing, I used to have a Tiscali dial-up account and the main reason I cancelled it when I moved to cable was because of all the stories about how bad the Tiscali customer services were. Somehow I suspect they couldn't be worse than BT now are. Must admit, I'm usually either seeding or leeching something and I've never had any problems about it from BT. In a good month I've downloaded more than 50gb. All perfectly legal stuff, of course. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chimpy Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Actually Tiscali customer service is terrible! Much, much, much worse than BT who can be ###### but at least the call centre staff are polite and generally do try to help. In contrast my girlfriend has had nothing but grief trying to talk to Tiscali. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
