Thread: Squirrels on strike???

Come on you blokes - don't you remember "dial-up", probably just a dicky server. They were the days - not!!

Still terribly slow.
This is my second attempt at posting this reply.

I am sure you guys are doing everything in your power to resolve the issue.

Thank you for working so hard to fix the problem.

Forum still running at acceptable speed, no real problem here in the depths of the Kimberley. Don't suppose the East coast has lost some fiber optic links in recent floods? That's the usual reason that we are given when problems arise up here. Good luck,
Combustor.

I for one think more, better and energetic squirrels are needed.

The 12 squirrel version could be upgraded to 15, or even a more outrageous 20 squirrel system.

20 squirrels could do anything. Nobody needs that much power.

Appears to be a major network problem. We have been working on it and have a ticket in to get maintenance work done on it but they're being really slow to respond. Hopefully it will be resolved today some time (Tuesday)

At least it wasn't quite as bad Monday as it was on Sunday. But still a bloody great nuisance.

It took me 6 attempts to log on this morning . I feel for the admin team, they don't need this kind of grief.

Weird, 30 seconds later and things are back to normal .

Problem was escalated to the real wiseguys and hopefully they are right on top of the problem. Just waiting to hear back from them now.

... and I've heard it said that if you aren't paying, you are the product.

Hi All,
Just logged on, brilliant this morning.
Thanks Steve, Neil.

The true test of value for money is not how good the product is, it's how good the support is. Even the best products can fail and it's how the supplier/manufacturer deals with the failure that counts.


Not so long ago I purchased a Hema 7 Navigator and it failed while I was 4wding on the Royston Range Track near Rubicon. When i contacted Hema in Brisbane they asked me to email a copy of the receipt and after doing that they contacted me and told me to send my unit to them as they were forwarding a new unit to me. The whole thing was sorted in less than 4 hours and I had a new unit 2 days later. No arguments, no excuses, just brilliant service

It all appears to be up and running fine again. Waiting to find out what the problem was but Steven suspects there was a server problem when it was rebooted some time early Sunday. They might let us know what it was but may not want to expose their bottom side to "bottom kickin".

Or as Marj Simpson wood say they don't want to open a can of "whoop tooshy".

Hopefully all will continue on fine now.


Cheers - Neil
