    Ye im suffering from it too...was just about to start a new thread and ask the same question. Definitely a bandwidth issue.

    I'm also being hit, out in Bray by the way. I'd say everyone's maxing out trying to get those last Kb's of cap used.

    That's RADSL for ye. Damn glad to have it all the same, sure beats the s*** out of 56k dial up. As Davey D said, probably last minute rush on last day of month. It might be useful if ppl would advise their exchange when posting, I'm in Swords btw.
    Best, E.

    You guys are lucky. I can't get a connection since Friday when I turned on my computer and AVG Anti-Virus told me I had some virus stored in an overnet folder. It keeps saying AWAITING ADSL CONNECTION and the ADSL light keeps flashing.

    I've deleted the virus and tried connecting from my laptop to no avail. I'm also from the Blanch area. If its not working when I get home tonight, it'll be tech support time. Grrr!

    sixpack's little hat:

    You have to call them to get an email account set up. I haven't actually done this myself yet but someone I know had to call them to get their IOL email working.
