Service Test Not Forum

Post by Carl Hibbard » Wed Jan 14, 2015 7:24 am

A polite request for a change, can anyone in particular with a BT line see if they can reference this site:

http://www.gradwell.com

It's only a service provider test for something I am having problems with and let me know the results please.

Some BT users in particular Infinity customers are seeing connection refused.

Or anyone else who cannot access the site.

I will delete the thread at some point.

Help appreciated as for once even I am stuck as to the problem.
Cheers
Carl Hibbard

To add works from Three and Vodafone (mobile) and from a Linode VPS in London but to make things worse also works from 'some' BT connections.

No trouble from NZ (Vodafone land line carrying UFB, then Southern Cross Cable to California, then ...???).
