Hi. I've been using bezeq's adsl now for about 6 months. Last week bezeq changed the redback I'm connected to and from then on I've had problems (not to mention, a different IP address.. I'm with Actcom / static IP). Ping time to the remote side of the ppp link is often over 500ms, but sometimes as low as 50ms. It seem to depend on which way the wind is blowing :-|.. I manage 2 servers w/ ADSL connected to the same redback.. same problem appeared at the same time. As you can imagine, I work between these two servers. 1 second is a long lag time.
This bugged me. First, I called Actcom and demanded my old IP back, which after a call to bezeq, they did without problem. After this was when I noticed the long ping time problem. During a bad "wind storm" last night I called Actcom support. The guy I spoke to suggested that it had to do with the special way that they gave my old IP back. So, we changed one server back to the new IP. It's not helping. After complaining also about disconnections, the Actcom guy basically said, "we cannot disconnect you, it's a bezeq problem". He suggested that maybe it was the modem; he knows that the orkit modems have problems, and maybe I should request that bezeq change my modem to an Alcatel modem. So, my questions. Does this sound sensible? Also, will this affect the MTU problem? My understanding is that the MTU problem is to do with a bug in the orkit modems. -Cedar .please cc replies to me.
