This morning it is very up and down again. Not what we are paying for.So much for 24:1.

Aepos

Thats why I opted for the cheaper package to start with and will wait and see what happens. There is no extra charge for upgrading to 24:1 but I didn't want to pay €45.00 for an unproven package.

My Speeds :

376, 397, 370 and 379 so thats an average of about 380 kb.

Looks ok to me ....

I'm happy ... I'm paying €4 euro per month more than I was last month for 56k dial up !

Cherish this moment of happiness:) It may be short lived the only consistent thing about broadband so far has been its inconsistency. And for God's sake keep the dial up modem:rolleyes:

Stephen

It appears to be back to normal here too.

rymus

thanks be to Jeebus! Maybe now I can get back to downloading that coldfusion mx demo that was so rudely interrupted last night.

<edit>
or maybe not... still getting a max speed of around 180k

Aepos

Checked service on returning from saltmines at 7.00pm.

Speeds again total crap. UTV's speed test tried 3 times no go.

It was also rubbish at 7.00am this morning.

Still no response to emails. Time to throw in the towel.

Couch Potato

Checked at lunch time today and speeds were good...

pings to www.boards.ie at 60ms approx

Now back up to 190's ....

What is going on ????

Booster

Gone steadily downhill since 6pm. Simple test from bandwidthplace, 240kbps at 6, 136 at 7 and now a whopping 76kbps.

Stephen

pinging boards and jolt at over 200ms each on an idle connection. brutal.

l3rian

every day from 6 -12 its rubbish pings, downloads uneffected, but i just bought unreal2k4

geecee

Just visited the bandwidth place:

1MB file download 5.2 minutes
Subjective rating Very slow

THANKS UTV!

Clicksilver has been **** all day

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Booster

If there are any Eircom users having these problems, please post. I signed up for the 24:1 from UTV, still paying full whack, which supposedly went live today. I've had the slowest speed ever today. April 1st and all that, eh?:rolleyes:

I'm gonna cancel the direct debit and call Eircom. I know the ISP can act the mick when you terminate and try to avail of another service. Has anyone actually done this yet? Were there any hassles?

ArthurG

I'm downloading a small file (6Mb) from www.ign.com, currently running at a blistering 8.6KB/s.

Is it only UTB/IOL users suffering like this?

Ping to www.boards.ie averaging 219ms.

What's caused such a significant disimprovement???

rymus

consider yourself lucky... I was downloading a 1.35mb update file a while ago at 1.17kb/sec

rang support..
me - "what in the name of god is the problem with the dsl at the moment?"
utv - "eh, we have no problems at the moment"

That kinda sums it all up really...

PowerHouseDan

i rang them awhile ago and he said we had a couple of complaints alrite he said he'd tell his supervisor but he wont be in till 1 tomorrow so basicly ringing them is doin no good cos there not tellin anyone,

UTV are a disgrace. They are in breach of there contract and all i can say is anyone thinking off getting broadband get Eircom. At least they supply what they say they will.

jank

I got a massive 182k

utv suck thats all i can say

Aepos

I rang them at 7.30 and so did a couple of other buddies who are unfortunate enough to be UTV customers. They don't seem to have a clue whats going on and dont care either.

I am so utterly Pi**ed off with UTV that my intention now is to dump them at all costs. Hurts me to say this but Eircon seems to be the only way to go ADSL wise.

PowerHouseDan

like its only in the past week things have gotten bad i was gettin a solid 50-60k sec before last week,but now getting 8k max if i am lucky,we shud have a mass protest lol

Aepos

It's only 5:00pm and the speeds are rubbish again.

No email replies to the many complaints sent and phoned to support re. the poor service during the past week.

Problems not sorted.

Loss of connection,
Loss of log on information Name and P/w,
Proxy/MTU problem,
Rubbish speeds/pings,
Lack of response from tech support.

Appart from that the service is great.
