Booking Qantas Flights

Has anyone noticed whether the Qantas booking engine is unusually slow lately or is it just my computer?

I have a contact in the IT department at Qantas and they said that their booking server recieved 1000's of hits every min........ So you can expect it to slow down every once in a while

My local ISP has now been taken over by a nation-wide ISP and so I had to change my dial-up number. Funnily enough, when trying to book Qantas flights after dialling up with this new number, I can't usually get a response from the site. However, when I changed my dial up number back to the old one, it works perfectly everytime.

Having worked for a national ISP whos hobby was to buy everything that moved [and what a great OzEcompany it was....] my advise is to confirm with your ISP what proxy and DNS they want to you have.

If all you've done is change your dialup number, even though they won't have told you, you'll need to change your proxy and your DNS.
