Globelines Problem Workaround
If you are having problems accessing and sending emails through your GMail or Yahoo, or you’re having problems publishing to your blog, or you’re FTP uploads keep on stalling and your broadband provider is Globelines, don’t waste your time calling their tech support. They won’t be help when the trouble is beyond your upload and download speed.
I was having problem uploading a couple of days ago. Globelines tech support kept on asking my download speed using their Globequest utility. I was not concerned on how fast my download or upload speed was. I was having problem getting my uploads finish.
Good thing there was a thing called tracepath. I was able to locate where the problem is. Tracepath was reporting This router returned corrupted payload from three Globelines IP addresses. Meaning something is wrong with their router. No not the one I’m using here. It’s the one on their network since the IP addresses that generate the errors is already out of my network.
One workaround I discovered is to unplug the modem and turn off the PC for at least 10 minutes - maybe to let Globelines network program detect idle IP address and assign it to other and give me a new one on restart. This occurs at least twice a day.
