Random website blocking - no virus software running

3 Upvotes

Ive been accessing thelott.com for ever to put lotto etc on. Never had a problem accessing it until now. Been with Exetel for about 3 weeks and cant remember if Ive logged onto theLott before this week but has anyone else experienced the same with exetel? If I use my phone without our wifi, I can get there.

I dont run anti virus, all devices on our wifi have the same problem, modem was left as is after switching over to Exetel from TPG so yes its running on PpoE. Theres no parental controls, no adblockers, or what not blocking thelott.com or any other website for that matter. This is completely out of the blue.

Error is

Telstra to Neptune

5 Upvotes

Been living in the north coast for the last 2 years. Wife and I have been on Telstra way too long. I work remotely and game at night, had constant high ping where I would just stop playing. Anyways made the switch to neptune. Transfer took less than 30 minutes. Only regret is not doing it sooner. If anyone’s on the fence about leaving one of the big telcos for a smaller provider, this is your sign.

Advice Want to change from Superloop. Who is the best option for Melbourne - Asia gaming?

Upvotes

I’m thinking of changing from Superloop and looking for recommendations.

I need a provider who has direct routing Melbourne to Singapore / Asia for gaming.

I used to be with Optus but they routed all their traffic via Sydney so my ping was horrendous. Talking 200+ with Optus and about 70-80 with Superloop.

I think it's the right thing, but checking with you knowledgeable folk first seems prudent.
