    Hi All,

    "Once again, my fibre connection failed. This time, they did not fix it within hours, so I had to once again revert to using my phone as an internet "modem" via the phone network.

    Unfortunately, it doesn't accept incoming calls, and not at all IPv6, so I have to resort to occasional polling before I can get my permanent connection back. Please inform everyone as needed."

    Bye, Wilfred.

    I see you are back on-line.

    So what happened? Someone cut the fiber?


    Cheers, Michiel

    They never tell us what's wrong, but the word on the street is that their equipment, as so many times before, was overloaded and burned down. The fibre is usually not damaged.

    Pity. Here the fibre connection is very reliable. I can't remember any serious disruption since it was installed in september 2023.
