sometimes websites are accesible, sometimes they are not (and vice versa)
since about 16:00 this afternoon
belgacom helpdesk is not reachable (turned of phone after 45 mins waiting)
it is a belgacom problem, already now 4 people with the same problem

status of network page still claims everything is OK :rolleyes:

Bosw8er 11th September 2008 20:54

... and it is back, after about 6 hours of very troublesome surfing

still no mention at all on the status page

piotke 11th September 2008 22:39

Had the same problem. Guess their DNS servers where acting up.

wutske 12th September 2008 06:35

yeah, Belgacom isn't as good as they want us to believe :rolleyes:

geoffrey 12th September 2008 20:47

Don't get me started, I'm already 2 weeks without i-net... belgacom...

jmke 12th September 2008 20:54

time to switch providers, Telenet new packs are very interesting

piotke 12th September 2008 21:28

If you can't get it solved, PM me the problem. I'll see what I can do, as I work for Belgacom :)

geoffrey 13th September 2008 17:23

Then you must know for sure...
Tell me piot, is it possible to combine Scarlet ADSL and Belgacom TV? In theory, practice? What exactly is belgacom TV? ADSL yes, but does it use other pairs and how do they make the connection?

piotke 13th September 2008 18:43

Theory/technically I guess yes, practically not.

It goes over ADSL, 6 Mb line is needed (4 Mb needed for mobile TV, per decoder).

As a wise American once said ... it's time to change

My parents got themselves an HDTV and wanted digital TV, I proposed Telenet as it was going to be the easiest. "No"... Belgacom TV is easy too and via a wireless transmitter/receiver you no longer need any cables running through your house. And, they have football! K, have it your way...

Mom went to a Belgacom shop in St-Niklaas, seller told here that when you take BelTV you do not have to change from i-net provider, we had Scarlet ADSL at that moment. And so, later that week I suddenly lost internet connection. Phoned Scarlet, after 15min they found my problem, BelTV + Scarlet ADSL is not possible. So we went to another belgacom shop nearby and explained the problem, after phoning around they let me know that it could be possible that Scarlet ADSL + BelTV is not going to work, they made us a nice offer (Belgacom ADSL + TV) and so we changed from i-net provider. One week later, Belgacom TV goes online, still no internet. More phones, last one told us that you first have to write to Scarlet to give up your subscription. So we did, now we are still waiting for Belgacom to activate ADSL... I haven't received any login details either.

What a mess, that guy in St-Niklaas certainly ****ed it up, that shop ****ed it up as they all agreed with him. It bothers me that so many people don't even know what is possible and what not, is it not their job to know?

piotke 14th September 2008 11:01

We here at Proximus often need to call Belgacom, as they also sell mobile internet (3G). They just use the Proximus Network. We give advaced tech support, check if antennas and stuff are working decently.

But, sometimes a customer ends up with us, so that we call BGC for them. I had once, a week ago (and they have about a year the product) a person on line who was angry at me, claiming Mobile internet is for Proximus. I admitted that, buut they also sell that. That's not true etc. She said call this xxx number. I said, look at your screen, I'm calling from that number...

Eventuelly she hung up. Went to my manager and together we crossed the street to the BElgacom towers and had a nice talk with the lady in question ;)

If it doesn't seem to get solved, could you PM me the info, i'll then go visit Belgacom :)

geoffrey 23rd December 2009 09:24

you're blowing my mind here, I thought the internet was just a bunch of tubes?

geoffrey 23rd December 2009 09:52

Oh thank God I though you were loosing your senses :D

jmke 23rd December 2009 09:56

do you know why James keeps replying to old topics, adding nothing valuable or even on-topic to the discussion?
either a bot or somebody trying to push something is my guess.

geoffrey 23rd December 2009 09:57

No, its the first time I see this guy posting. I'm not following every thread here ;)

He's pushing two things: a cart full of pretty useless info and his Tech Support... my gut tells me he's genuine, though (maybe a bit on the juvenile side). On the other hand, I just had meself an extra big plate of fritjes met stoofvlees à-la-Geuze, followed by four large mugs of coffee with as added spirit a hefty splash (read fifty/fifty) of Grand-Marnier, so I wouldn't trust my gut one bit right now... am desperatley grabbing for mug number five as we speak.

Kurgan 24th December 2009 00:37

Ha!

I have been thinking the same thing, do you realize how hard its been for my to fight off the urge to track down and then break out the "Holy revived thread BATMAN" .jpg?

Atlas, tho something is amiss -tho I'm just a lowly forum browser.
