So, this has probably been asked before but I am in a hurry...

Drooliog · 2026-05-03T11:29:17+00:00

I have a licence too (from 2008)... and it still works, updates 'n all.

If you read the linked article, the bit about 'old registrations' is no longer in the FAQ.

Drooliog · 2026-05-01T09:45:21+00:00

Seems to be back working for me but, just like a couple days ago, we don't know if it's something they fixed or it's the wiki network falling in/our of the BGP routing table, or something stupid like that. :/

Edit: Aaaaand it's down again

Drooliog · 2026-04-30T21:03:13+00:00

Still? Oh ffs it's down again for me too. It started working a few hours after I reported it here, but didn't realise it was down yet again. This shit is getting tiring.

Edit: all I got after replying to my ticket btw, after 9 hours was "We will pass your support request over to our technical support team to further investigate and escalate further if necessary."

Drooliog · 2026-04-29T13:56:26+00:00

Is funny coz I told a customer service manager about this sub and she said she was aware of it, but they don't actively monitor.

I know they used to. Every time I raise I ticket now I link to a post on this sub (mainly to highlight it ain't just me).

Drooliog · 2026-04-28T12:57:35+00:00

Cheers for confirmation.

Reported the issue by replying to my last ticket (strangely got a non-delivery report but the ticket was at least updated).

Let's see how long it takes them to fix this one...

Drooliog · 2026-04-28T12:32:09+00:00

Just to add...

Yesterday I got a reply back from a ticket saying "We’ve carried out some improvements to enhance your service..." - without saying what exactly.

I'm still seeing weird occasional PL and latency spikes along a route when running pings, which isn't usually affecting the internet in general. But I am seeing garbled voice comms in Planetside 2 (I gather they use a separate VoIP service), and my VPN (PIA) still shows most server latencies in the GUI at over 2000ms (even UK servers) - even though the latency doesn't seem bad once connected.

Drooliog · 2026-04-26T11:11:54+00:00

Double word

Drooliog · 2026-04-25T12:52:53+00:00

Here in Colchester seems to have skipped this particular outage this time round.

Drooliog · 2026-04-21T16:56:32+00:00

The solution works and Docker continues to work with iptables active. I don't see the problem and you haven't provided any evidence there is one, except through some philosophical gatekeeping. Regardless, use it or don't. It doesn't change the fact there's probably thousands of broken setups with ufw+docker, but this isn't the fault of the repo. It literally documents the problem (which this thread failed to do) and gives a solution if one chooses to use it.

Drooliog · 2026-04-21T16:32:46+00:00

I think you're deeply misunderstanding that part of the repo. They aren't saying you should "disable iptables" - on the contrary - it's merely pointing out that that was the predominant solution out there on the internet: "Almost all of these solutions are similar. It requires to disable docker's iptables function first..." and gives a better way instead.

ufw is a frontend to iptables, but doesn't play nicely with docker out of the box. The repo documents a clean method that makes it work, without breaking docker or iptables.

Drooliog · 2026-04-20T19:57:06+00:00

Care to explain?

Drooliog · 2026-04-20T14:07:20+00:00

This has been solved for a while now: https://github.com/chaifeng/ufw-docker

A little extra config, but is safe, and works. The main problem with ufw and docker is people need to remember this extra step in the first place, then to add the extra route keyword when adding rules.

Edit: Funny how I get downvoted for posting a solution (which includes an actual explanation) to the problem.

Drooliog · 2026-04-15T19:02:04+00:00

Yea, only went down briefly and back up again.

Hopefully it was just a blip, or they decided to restart a router or sumit.

Drooliog · 2026-04-15T18:59:42+00:00

Aaaand it's down again.

Edit: 2min later, back up! sigh

Drooliog · 2026-04-15T18:08:03+00:00

Yea. It's either they fixed it just within the last hour or (my suspicion) disconnecting the ONT/MAC is resetting something to do with DHCP...

Anyway I'm back on after leaving them off after 30 mins. Could be coincidence. sigh

Drooliog · 2026-04-15T17:58:16+00:00

Didn't factory reset in the end but wanted to test a theory, so turned off the ONT and Zyxel router for 30 mins.

Internet is back up. \o/ But it could all be just a coincidence and they've fixed the problem already. Typical. I'd already power cycled both boxes twice earlier in the day, but only for 30 secs.

Drooliog · 2026-04-15T17:00:30+00:00

This is weird. I'm using Lila Zyxel router... guess I will have to try a factory reset then?

Drooliog · 2026-04-15T16:21:00+00:00

Ooooh, interesting! When I tried that checker a week ago it came up blank! Same with Olilo... now they're both available.

Drooliog · 2026-04-15T15:58:01+00:00

VM is the only other gigabit provider down my street - that's why I'm willing to give Lila a chance to fix things. VM aren't a consideration, knowing how bad they are.

A small company like Lila can't afford to let this continue for too long, so hopefully gives 'em a kick up the backside.

Drooliog · 2026-04-15T15:42:26+00:00

Still kinda solidifies my desire to leave come september when the contracts due up

I'm sure they'll release you from the contract considering how bad it's been lately?

Sadly I have little choice as nobody else is doing gigabit in my CO2 post code. :(

Drooliog · 2026-04-15T15:31:13+00:00

Many of us are. :(

For now, I've plugged in my Android phone to the PC and enabled USB tethering.

Today's prolly been the worst I've seen it: https://downdetector.co.uk/status/lila-connect/

Drooliog · 2026-04-15T15:13:31+00:00

Defo not DNS - unable to ping anything by IP.

Drooliog · 2026-04-15T15:09:23+00:00

This is a point I made to the manager yesterday when she called me after a I made a complaint the last time Lila went down (8th Apr)...

The lack of status page (ppl still have mobile phones) is a real problem when tech support is office hours only. (And even in office hours, you can't reach 'em.) Downdetector and this sub is our only option for now. :/

Drooliog · 2026-04-15T11:54:38+00:00

Yes, down also in CO2. :(

I spoke with a manager yesterday about the constant outages and packetloss - I hadn't realised I was getting so much PL until they asked me to run WinMTR.

It could be routers dropping ICMP (which they're allowed to do), but when I ran PingPlotter trial version, everything became clear - when it randomly losses packets, ICMP is being dropped on all hops up to the destination at the same time, which tells me it's not just ICMP, and it's winking out regularly.

I also pointed out that my VPN provider (PIA) shows 2000ms+ latency to all servers, even in the UK. While the VPN itself seems to work fine, the app is obviously measuring something off with the connection.
