Beat me to it! I was just about to post.

It's down for me too for the past few hours.

Dr. Dre

Yup back on 56k modem here too

Dawg

Back in the slow lane here too :mad:

I phoned them about 9.30pm and they said a router had gone down and that the engineers were working frantically on it (do engineers ever work in any other way?) They said it was due back in an hour - yeah!

I heard it was also down for a considerable time on a weekend about a fortnight ago I was away so did not experiece it - is it true that it was down and for how long?

Is it possible to connect to the UTV support newsgroup without being connected to UTV?

radiospan

Yeah, I remember Clicksilver being on and off intermittently on a Saturday night a few weeks ago.

IIRC, UTVipXL went down at the same time, anyone know if that's the case tonight?

I concur, took 11 attempts, over 10 mins, errors given were usual user/pass rejected, but also for the first time, remote response timeout.

BTW disconnected at midnight, is that normal, hope it is, as prevents last months usage entereing this months quota if you know what I mean.

jonski

anyone know the phone no. to connect to the UTV non subscription service . I used to have it but didn't hold onto it , connected to elive atm .

it would be handy to connect to UTV so I could check the newsgroup .

even a link to the page its on would be most helpful .

Thanks

John.

im having the same problem (Clicksilver completely dead since 7:45PM with a nice mixture of 691, 718 and 734 errors :rolleyes: )... i posted on the UTV newsgroups about it... seems to be happening to alot of people

the UTV normal dialup number is 1890927171 btw.... for my username/password i just took my ADSL username and removed the "@adsl.utvinternet.ie" bit.. seems to be working, altho ive got a hideous feeling im doing something wrong :rolleyes:

Your not alone Irish Broadband at my work (Tallaght Mast) has been down since last Sunday.

radiospan

Clicksilver's back up for me now anyway!

The Muppet

Back up for me now too.

Back this morning for me, but getting upto 20% packet loss on pings. Also the PPPoE link is resetting on a regular basis, could stayup for 30min but then goes down.

anybody having similar issues....rang tech support but no ans.

andrew163

I've just reconnected so I'm not sure about the disconnections (i'll tell you in about half an hour )

I pinged boards.ie and got 5% packet loss...

---

Sent = 34, Received = 32, Lost = 2 (5% loss),

---

fairly normal ping times (47ms mostly, with about 2 of them at 110ms)

edit: just checked the UTV newsgroups, alot of people are having these problems.

rash

Cheers
Has improved a bit. PPPoE has been up for 30min, if was bad before that - would stay up only a matter of mins.

Ping statistics for 195.218.116.25:
Packets: Sent = 730, Received = 656, Lost = 74 (10% loss)
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 29ms, Maximum = 571ms, Average = 43ms

10% loss seems high, is this average/normal on DSL....would have thought that there would be little contention on a Sunday morning....with people gone to mass and all that!!!

Will keep an eye on it.

jonski

Just made a phone call to utv , the guy was just after starting his shift , so he hadn't heard any other complaints but was aware of a problem .

He said the chief tech guy person thingy was working on it now , but they still didn't know the exact nature of the problem . Asked if they could make a post in newsgroup about it , so we'll see what happens


John.

Dr. Dre

Well it's still not letting me connect :mad:

andrew163

It's completely dead for me again :rolleyes:

The Muppet

Dead for me again for the last hour. Back on 56k:mad:

radiospan

Yep, me too.

Nyum Nyum

Knackered here again too.

It was off all evening yesterday for me. Worked ok(-ish) this morning, now can't get on it at all.


Going back to dialup is awful :ninja:

jonski

Gone for me too , phoned support , kept on hold for just short of 20 minutes then disconnected .

Not a happy camper

John.

PS: a bit of interaction from UTV wouldn't go astray , anyone able to connect to newsgroup ?

mickger

Yeah its the same for me here. Was down last night and only went up around 10am this morning but its down again now. Whats happening?

jonski

quote from newsgroup

"A router has failed in the South and is currently being replaced. The Clicksilver service should return early this evening. Many apologies for the downtime.

and ppl laughed at me when I said I was going to eircom!!! :ninja:

My clicksilvers just come back up within the last 2 or 3 mins aswell after over a day of downtime. It's just bloody ridiculous now, if I'd known there was going to be this level of downtime I'd have just spent the extra fiver and subscribed to Eircom. Perhaps their new marketing slogan could be

"Clicksilver - a fiesta of downtime"

silent

going up and down all the time today
it's up now

btw anyone else has lots of 'atacks' on their connection?
I get loads of these today:
