Can you try using a VPN or tethering the 3G on your phone (or is that with Telstra also)? My brother is in Melbourne (well, just outside) and he complains a lot about Telstra!!

Looks like they've had a lot of issues registered in the last 12 hours: http://aussieoutages.com/status/telstra

That's frustrating alright. Hopefully Telstra resolve the issue soon!

I've just PM'd you an article I found with a few options to try. Let us know how you get on.

I wouldn't give up on Telstra though. Maybe ask to speak to a higher level tech person and insist on them explaining why they are blocking it, inadvertently or not!! That's very bizarre.

shinny

Slowly but surely seems like you'll get this resolved. Very annoying though. Thanks for be updates.

It's seems odd that they can't sustain the fix. Did anyone get to the bottom of why it's blocked intermittently with them?

shinny

It sounds like they actually haven't a clue what they are doing.

shinny

Sounds like "cop out" speak really. Terrible for you all. Have you any alternative providers you could move to?

shinny

It has a certain ring to it alright, not a good one mind you!!

shinny

Hopefully that'll be the end of the issues for you. You'll have to let us know when you switch if it worked out ok!
