Anyone having problems with this in the past week? :mad: My connection keeps dropping then coming back, this is the first time in approx 2 years that it has been ****, could the problem be on my side or is it BT?

Carlow area btw

Mines dropping a bit this past week too.

Went about an hour ago for 30 mins then came back on. This past week is the first time I've had a complete loss of broadband since being with them. It connects ok and doesn't show any faults and says everything is working but can't open web pages. Thought it was just my line but phone works ok and seems to come on and drop again without me messing at settings.

I'm in north Dublin so we wouldn't be having the same problem unless BT's whole network is acting up.

Should get on to them... get them to sort it out.

Yep...got BT in about a week ago and have also noticed it dropping every so often. Still infinitely better than Clearwire though :-)

I had been having disconnect problems. Thought they had been resolved over last couple of weeks, but dsl connection dropped three times last night. Reconnected itself after a minute or two each time. I don't know what is going on with this.

My girlfriend has clearwire (i tried to talk her dad out of it :rolleyes: ) and its total rubbish. Anyway back to BT whats the best way to contact them? Phone? Email?

Ok just tried using the newsgroups, it usually always downloads at between 250-350kb/s (3mb line) but now its hovering between 5kb/s-50kb/s

It also goes to 0kb/s every minute or so and just sits there for a few seconds

Try messenger pigeon. They don't seem to respond to phone calls or e-mails.

most of them sites that measure your speeds are inacurate. i nearly always get over 300kb/s using newsgroups
