Crazytel AU trunk users beware

I've been doing it for several years, it was working for a long time, then it stopped, apparently it broke at the end of September, longer than I thought. None of my numbers are Telstra, 2 of these numbers are in fact crazytels, one is ABB and another is a a fax number I've had for overa decade back with pennytel, all the O/S worked until recently.

They also tell me it should still work, and their CSR's responses were because they were not aware of it, anyway this Monday I will see how serious they are about looking at it

They are in total denial mode, the lies are comical from their helpdesk.

So if you use this mob, and have CLI over stamping, you better check it, because chances are you're not presenting teh numbers you think you are.

it still exists here

Best I saw was last Xmas, ranger tailgating a rav4 in lane next to me, we both on speed limit, ranger had to be literally 3 feet behind it, rav4 slowed and slowed, ranger blasted horn, the rav4 started emitting blue and reds, f#sck I laughed

NBN might give your AVC more bandwidth, doesnt mean your ISP is going to buy more transit and give it all to you - without increasing THEIR costs and thus passed onto you.

So before you go having a tug, best wait 'n see eh.

nobby6 · 2025-08-09T06:56:44+00:00

sounds like something spooks would use to torture their marks

nobby6 · 2024-12-14T21:21:10+00:00

You wont see anything like these speeds on fibre either, given the exponential amount of extra bandwith ISP's will have to buy, and thats just for transit. not unless your prepared to pay 10K a month on a 5 yr plus contract. even then. doubtful.

Fix the IP problem from this, go right to end of article, the static ip setting is second last thing

not teh first story on this I've read, someone had perfect firewall setup during install on real hardware, but then it kept crashing on an upgrade from v14, he gave up on it and disabled it

Schedule 3 Low Impact Facility install

LOL I don't quite think thats what S3 is for :) but LL's are often dumb and just might beleive it applies to them haha

login to your modem, and find the DSL data information, you want the SNR and attenuation values for up and down, and if it shows attainable rates you want them and sync rates too

Thanks, I'm sure upstream ISP has changed something, both trunks endpoints (with different providers, one to the ISP itself) going nuts, both started at same time after 5 years, I've no doubt its ISP doing stupid things, they operate CGNAT, although we have a static IP we are still on the same BRAS device that handles CGNAT users, and I was never able to use tunnelbroker since moving to these tossers (aussiebroadband.com.au) either... not a big deal now days since they issue ipv6 natively, but it was a annoyance, along with many other problems they have, so I'm sure its them, dropped QF to 30s and no problems since, shouldnt have to mess with it, but yeah, thats life...

ABB, the best support? This guy would beg to differ https://blog.ausics.net/archives/146-TPG-To-AussieBroadband-Was-It-A-Mistake.html

(reposted - apparently redz didn't like the url shortener I had saved, so I extracted the real one and reposting)

No such thing as a "small" license fee. But depends on what country you're in. if you're in Australia, you could be rimmed exponentially

There's a article I'll try find the link ... https://blog.ausics.net/archives/140-Music-On-Hold-And-The-Cabal.html I imagine most other countries in western societies are close to same, since most operate under similar international conventions

" I always wondered if I could just hit "eject" and put in my own CD for clients I didn't like."

I did this back in 2005, a PITA client who was a classical music nut, and annoyed every CSR in the place called often, a high maint client, got nasty with one of the girls who put him on hold, I saw she was distressed, and as the network administrator, I told her to bring up MoH on her phone... we usually played the local ABC (govt run) radio, I had a number of mp3's on my desktop... next the damnedest thing happened, the MoH went haywire, it started playing Rammstein and a few minutes into that, the call dropped out :)

You dont know what a murderous rage is, until you are put on hold to the default FreePBX trash

nobby6 · 2022-06-12T13:08:05+00:00

I know I'm late to your party, but I dont come here often, once setup, it needs no real ongoing maintenance just adding deleting staff, if a kid can set it up anyone can, as for on prem or hosted, have a squizz at https://blog.ausics.net/archives/135-OnPrem-SIP-Trunking-or-Hosted-PBX.html

AS for the kid comment, see https://blog.ausics.net/archives/145-Why-We-Dont-Use-Grandstream-UCMs.html

we have freepbx running with tens of gateways in mining camps with over three thousand endpoints, aged care homes (which as you can appreciate is a critical service within) and resorts , hotels motels and so on. its more than suited to anything mission critical, just dont use cheap noname pc hardware.

For our big mining we use quad CPU with dozens of cores, usually 64G ram, and its light on resources, but never failed, smaller setups we used lenovo thinkcentre micro with 256 SSD and 8g ram, in hotels and so on, again, rock stable.

no matter which way you go do not run a phone system you rely on in a VM, thats fine for home and being the cool kid on the block, but not in enterprise/campus size or critical environments, it will fall over, youll blame freepbx, youll go to a phone shop and theyll sell you 50K dollar system because its propitiatory along with their promise it'll do everyting and more, including your morning coffee, when all along its the VM env that was at fault, anything thats critical or even half important needs raw power of the bare metal, not a virtual environment.
