I've dropped the PPPoA session a number of times and now I can use the service - albeit at a somewhat slower throughput speed.

So b*cat is somewhat less grumpy!

I don't know how to force a new IP address on the HG612

^ I saw that in the other thread, but I couldnt quite work out what you meant. It was unclear what you were using for a router, yet you said the HG612 was doing the routing.

HG612 does the routing, router is connected to it and does the WiFi and DHCP server.

So the HG612 does the authentication side of things?

Unfortunately no idea how you can do it, maybe purposely "break" the authentication settings on the HG612 then put them back?

Obviously all without losing sync, otherwise leave it half an hour then turn it back on?

[GigabitEthernet]

Yes the HG612 does the authentication side

I have noticed today that some websites are taking a long time to load, just like it is losing packets, a reload of the page seems to load it OK but it was not DNS as it had already started accessing the page. This seems to me not unlike the issue we had on TT a while back.

Anyone else seeing this?

Whenever I've experienced this behaviour in the past, it's been an MTU issue almost every time

Well that does not explain why it has only just started to happen in the past 5-6 days, nor why it is intermittant. Also with lots of people now seeing the issue I doubt everyone has the wrong MTU.

Still having issues. I literally cannot use the Internet productively when it's in this state.

Think I'll have to tether my 4G phone.

I didn't say it was a client side MTU issue

Ah .. OK

I can understand why it might be an MTU issue.

The throughput is still there, it just takes a long time for the connection to react to a command. This is systematic of an MTU issue, so it looks like somebody at TalkTalk has mucked up.

This doesn't seem to be too widespread though does it? I'm not experiencing it and i'm in the rainy depths of South Wales? 

Maybe worth calling them and reporting it?

Calling TalkTalk - I'd rather not thanks.
