A few days ago, the server where Asteeg.Net is currently hosted had a scheduled maintenance. A new IP was set for Asteeg.Net. That means, depending on your ISP, it could take 24 to 48 hours for the site to propagate. There’s a big chance that you would have problems visiting the site from this period, especially if your ISP is as stupid as ****.
Asteeg.Net was not hacked or whatsoever.
This also applied to my hostees.

I hate my ISP so much that I want to throw things at it! What they give is not just! You see, we’re paying for the service! Oh, don’t tell me to call the customer service as I really hate talking to people who work in that department. They tend to slow down things. They know what seems to be the problem but they won’t tell you.
So what’s my problem? I always see my site down for four consecutive days. I asked my host about it, and they said that there is no problem with their end. According to my host, my ISP might be suffering from “Selective Browsing” problems. I really hate it. I wanted to upgrade my two other WordPress installs but I can’t because of this. (At the moment, I could only access this blog)
Is there anybody out there who also experience this?
[EDIT] I just called the customer service hotline of my ISP. Mr. Customer Service Representative, with a very gloomy voice, as if he was going to cry any moment reckons that they don’t have any problems with their end also. He said that the servers where this site is hosted are the ones responsible for my problem, but I think he is wrong as I know somebody for a fact who can’t access my site also and I can access my site on other computers. He suggested that clearing my cache could solve my problem. I tried it but nothing happened. He also said that there might be some heavily encoded scripts in my site with JavaScript and all, but hey, it’s my site, I know what I put in my site. It’s been almost a year since I subscribed to this ISP and I only encountered such problem just now. It just really pisses me. Tomorrow, I’ll buy an internet card and I’ll try using it instead. And if it would work I’ll definitely call one more time. Oh, before I forget, it was so evident that Mr. Customer Service Representative was trying to slow down things as the pauses before he replies to each of my queries were long!
Hey! Customers are always right!
PS: No, I’m not on DSL and I have no plans to subscribe for any. I’m on a dial-up connection and I can still bear its slowness. Besides, for PHP 200.00 (or add a little more), I can spend countless hours connected to the internet. In short, unlimited! Saan ka pa? Haha! [/EDIT]
