More problems with voip.co.uk?

I've moved registration of my VOIP system (Asterisk 1.2.22) to
proxy.voip.co.uk:5060 (from register.voip.co.uk) as instructed in the
recent email. I've explicitly set the port as my Asterisk box was
losing registration, presumably due to SRV lookups (A problem identified
on the voip.co.uk wiki as affecting 1.4.xx?)

Since making this change I've found that calling out through the service
introduces a significant delay before the call is established ie
ringing. A test call I've just made to my landline from my VOIP number
failed to connect at all within 50 seconds so I gave up and terminated
the call only to find that the landline rang some 8 minutes later with
my voip.co.uk CLID!

Is there yet another problem with the new platform?

I'm having the same problem with my sipura 1001. As with you it takes
about 30 seconds to a minute for the landline to ring if it every
does. And again, if I give up before the landline rings, it will ring
sometime later. Further, if the landline does eventually ring, and I
put down my voip 'phone and do not pick up the landline the landline
will continue to ring until the answer machine cuts in.

The good (and strange) news is that on the beta platform everything
works as normal. I plan to post something on the voip.co.uk forum
tomorrow.

Maybe you could tell me if the beta platform works for you as well

It seems to work here OK using a PAP2 on the new system.

When I first set it up it would not connect so I turned the PAP2 off for a
while and on reboot it connected and has stayed connected as far as I know.

I am experiencing the same problem. When working OK it used to connect
within 1 second. Now it takes an age to connect. Sometimes I have had
to go via another provider.
I put a friend on voip.co.uk as, at the time, it was good and
reliable. With all the problems they are having I keep getting calls
about it. It must be even worse for those who need it to pass, what is
commonly called, the 'wife test'.
They really need to get this sorted fast or lose credibility.

Same problems here, and varying. One call goes through fine, next
could take 40 seconds or not even connect at all. If you hang up and
redial it sometimes connects quicker.

Weird and unnecessary problems and seemingly no rush to resolve them.
Which in effect makes them useless.

I know for a fact that they are working long hours to get things sorted
but they seem to have hit some major issues with their platform upgrade
that should never have followed it out of the beta stage.

I think they should bite the bullet and switch back to the old platform
and do some more testing - it's been a very frustrating time and after
several years of near-perfect service they have damaged their reputation
severely in the space of a couple of weeks.

I tried the proxy server again this morning, and it worked. I have
used the 'phone a few times over the last 6 houres and so far no
problems. Maybe voip.co. have done something

I've been seeing a bit of this today:

-- Got SIP response 503 "Registrar overloaded; try again shortly." back from
193.203.210.36
Nov 26 15:43:34 NOTICE[32452]: chan_sip.c:5429 sip_reg_timeout: --
Registration for '593439@proxy.voip.co.uk' timed out, trying again (Attempt
#2)

I also saw this yesterday before I'd changed from registrar.voip.co.uk to
proxy.voip.co.uk - not surprising given that registrar is a CNAME for
proxy.

It is a shame. Was fine all day yesterday.

To follow up my own post:

Email received yesterday indicating that the delay problem last week has
been resolved. No further detail supplied...

Not resolved as far as I'm concerned. Nearly a minute to connect calls
this am.
