Might as well do it now, nothing is going to change.

It's the north side of dublin, been on to ibb. high latency on most of the north side high sites. Should be fixed later today.
I can see speeds coming back already.

And on a personal note, Irishpimpdude just asked a question about speeds today, not to hear the ongoing ****hing. :cool:

Every time someone asks a question around here no matter what isp is every else doesn't answer it they just ****h about there own problems with that isp.

It would be nice to actualy get a question answered.........

Irishpimpdude the speeds are all ready back here but what high site are you off

Yesterday and today from arond 9am till 1pm they were terrible but at the moment they are flying. I just did a ping test and I'm getting

Time=11ms
Time=9ms
Time=13ms
Time=11ms

Been using IBB for the past half-hour and it's flying along.

It's not normally this fast. Doubt it will last.

I'm north dublin and I think the nearest antenna is Ballymun though thats about 3km away

I'm on the Park House mast (North Side - Dublin 7) and my connection died completely this afternoon at around 15:45. It was sudden and my PC could no longer acquire a network connection.

Rang IBB straight away and managed to get through (they close at 16:00, I was lucky). The Rep. I was speaking with really knew what he was doing. At first it seemed like my IP was being used by somebody else so he gave me a new one but I was still having huge problems (between 70~90% packet loss to the gateway :eek:).

The Rep. explained it could be due to the fact that 4 or 5 masts (perhaps more) in the North of Dublin were down and a lot of traffic was being diverted to Park House, making it useless... We stayed on the phone for over an hour but nothing could be done...

I'm really p!ssed off with IBB now. :mad: I'm only on that mast since Tuesday (after months of crap service on Guinness) and I'm already having problems... Can't wait for SMART to become available in my area. IBB just isn't reliable/doesn't work...

Well, it's 1 A.M. and I thought I'd check my connection quickly before going to bed and what do you know?! It's back to perfect! :rolleyes:

Don't know what the problems were... I guess they got the other North Dublin sites working again?!

To late to play CoD2 now anyway... Off to bed...

Irishpimpdude

lol my connection kept on dropping today and when i pressed repair it was back up... weird... had to do it multiple times hasnt happend in a while

Dimy

I don't think it's north-side only, my connection has been slow (between 5 and 10 kb/sec)as well for the past 3 months here in Monkstown. Before that I've been getting speeds of up to 60 kb/sec on a regular base. I've started looking for alternative providers but as I'm not allowed to have anything installed outside or in the house my options are quite limited. For now I'm waiting patiently and hope things will improve soon. :mad:

Id love to give you a speed test but as of 1am last night I have no IBB connection.

Weird!? oO That's when mine got back up!

What the hell are they up to...?

Cuddlesworth

Mabye they have decided to start the first timeshare broadband network.

Steffano2002

LOL I wouldn't put it past them!

But I got the bad end of the bargain... I get from 1 A.M to 3 P.M. and you get the rest...

alfern

I have had IBB since last summer, it was working ok in the beginning but the last 6 months it has been terrible. Called them today and they admit that they have contention problems. They say they are working on the problem. I am connected to the antrium in Blanchardstown.

Cuddlesworth

You would be quicker walking to the server hosting the files and asking for a hard copy.

It's funny cos it's true!

Mine better be working perfectly tonight! :mad: I'm starting to get CoD2 withdrawal symptoms!

Dimy

Looks like I moved from Blanchardstown at the right time... that's horrible. I seriously hope they get this fixed, but I doubt it, they keep on advertising IBB on TV and get even more connections while it seems they already have far too many connections than their network can support.

Mine is always good at that time. My Dload speeds are going bad for an hour and good for an hour. Inbetween thouse hours I get no net, connection drops for a min. I think I am getting QOS`ed. I dont really mind though as my pings in games are ok, a little erattic but playable. There are times I cant really hear whats going on in TS also, but im living with it I Havent bothered to ring yet. Im working late this week so i`ll get the good connection when im home from work cause its late. I hope this isent to be the norm but I think it will be a long time before they get their act together.

OH BTW I talked another punter out of getting IBB and pointed him to boards.ie broadband forum. He went else where and was right to do so.

Steffano2002

Well that's it... Connection's gone again... Takes 1 hour for pages to load up and I have 70~90% packet loss to the gateway... Getting so fu*king pissed off with IBB now! :mad:
Why is it so hard for them to get things working right? My connection shouldn't stop working every day for hours! Or am I asking too much from them?
I'm definitely going to SMART when they become available in my area. F*ck IBB. I've had enough

Steffano2002

Here's how bad it's doing... And here's a ping test to the gateway:

I'm on the Ballycoolin mast and it is dreadful. I'd say it is worse than a dialup modem.

BTW - I am on a 2MB/2MB line - Breeze.

I got my hands on a modem for ripwave yesterday to try ..

Get this - I only for 60.8KB connection!!

They will have to do something about this - very very bad!

Steffano2002

I'm also on 2MB/2MB Breeze but right now it's more like 2KB/2KB... I'm in a murderous mood...:mad:

LegacyUser

At this rate it is a joke! I wouldn't mind if they sent a mailshot around about it beforehand. This happened before when I was doing an online exam. I had to replay the 117 euros fee!!

That is just totally unacceptable. It has been up and down like this for two days.

Mutant_Fruit

doing... project..... so.... slow. 10 days til my projec is due, and downloading a 3meg PDF is taking the guts of 15 mins.

spooky donkey

Its not going to improve any time soon. They are piling money into marketing to get new punters and not getting more bandwith to supply those new customers. Downhill slope has to bottom out some where.

LegacyUser

It HAS to improve!! At least it was workable when it was 650KB - but with the way it is at the moment it is NOT workable.

It is bloody ridiculous.

Can't even get onto irishisptest.com - it is so slow:

[Edit] just got onto irishisptest.com.
It says - download 994
upload - 1.14

That is complete rubbish - I have been getting "page not found errors" all night.

Exactly the same for me! Got decent again at around 9 P.M. though... Let's hope it was just down for a bit to upgarde the router(s) that caused the massive problems over the week-end!

Cuddlesworth

Mines still going up and down like a yoyo, looks like ill be doing in my part of the timeshare
