navanman2003

Im in Ongar, Clonee and I'm just home.
LCP was down on my modem since 12 today when i logged into the router. Reset router and ran speed test and i've just got my best speed since June.

LCP is "Link Control Protocol". It's the basic coonnect your modem needs to make to the network before it can set up a PPP session and actually log you in to the DSL servers. When LCP is down, you ADSL connection is out to lunch.

QOS is "Quality of service". It's pretty much self explanatory.

I reset my modem and it has not made a difference - I am in the Ongar area also.

Anyone fancy chasing them with a phonecall today?

I will be able to do it tomorrow if its not fixed by then.

But too flat out today to have time to be on hold for 30mins etc etc..

jarvis

Tech support called me today an left a message saying that they have updated the exchange and they were ringing to see how I was getting on and I was to call them back!!! The bloke didn't leave a name and when I called tech' they didn't know who called me and asked did I notice any difference in the speed inanyway. I told them I'm now getting 80kb/s instead of 40kb/s but I should be getting much more on a 3MB connection. They agreed and said they're still working on it and wil be in touch when they have more news. DOH

wixy

Guys,

Just onto Esat BT Customer service (Sarah - very helpful) who apologied etc etc & have given me 2 months free broadband.

They put me though to Tech Support who didnt have any update except that Eircom were still lookin into it. & that they made need a part & thats the added delay (Brilliant)

Anyways, make sure ye all ring up & get some sort of compensation! Feel free to quote my fault no. 1-337533509

Hopefully we'll be up & running before the weekend!!

jarvis

Got a call from Bt head of global products a short time ago. She said that Eircom applied a patch on the exchange yesterday and it didn't work so now they need a new piece of hardware and they're waiting to get it from Alcatel, they should know more tomorrow, She asked me to post what's happening on here. I jokingly asked if they had to order the part from Russia.... She said NO. Looking good! Brookie, did you get a reply from those E-mail addresses I sent you??

Jarvis,
I got a call from the head of products also, nothing today mind but its good to see we may be getting somewhere. My speed has increased slighty from 200kb to around 800kb

nr2

I got a call from BT too. Said they'd applied a software update and to see if it had helped.

It hadn't.

Hopefully that Alcatel part arrives by courier soon....

Fair dues to you for posting - but maybe, as a courtesy, BT should think about contacting their customers by email to let them know whats going on. There must be hundreds of customers affected by this?

navanman2003

Its fixed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH !!!!!!
I'm torrenting now and my speed is back up to 200K/sec,6 times faster than i was getting for the last 2 months.

Im in Ongar, Clonee; anybody in Ashborune confirm their speed is back up to normal.

nr2

I'm on the clonee exchange too and my d/l speeds are back to normal as well.

Pleased to say (at the moment) I am at full speed.

Upstream Speed: 384 kbps

Downstream Speed: 3072 kbps

fingers crossed!

wixy

Guys,

I am in Ongar also.

Is there anything special I have to do e.g reset anything?

Also, what speed test program/website is everyone using?

Cheers

kleefarr

I haven't done anything.

Last checked a couple of days ago and I was getting 1024kb/sec.When I checked a few minutes ago 3072kb/sec.

It tells me on my Linksys ADSL Gateway/Modem

Strange how the upload speed always stayed the same though.

I'm in Kilkenny and have been getting fluctuating speeds of around 1100kb/sec for the last two weeks.

Diabolus

FFS ashbourne is still SLOW!

nr2

Wixy - http://www.irishisptest.com/runmyspeed.php , u.tv/speedtest and also try downloading a large file from ftp.esat.net to see how fast your connection is.

It should be back to normal now.

Cheers.

wixy

My speed on Ongar is still same

Rang Tech Support & they said the Clonee & Ashbourne exchange issue has now been fixed & that this must be just a issue with my connection!

Great

There sending a guy out to the exchange on Mon. to have a look at my connection.

Am I the only one that is still SUFFERING from slow speed? (150 Approx Kbps)

That guy Conor was dealing with this in page 2 or 3.
Maybe call and ask for him?

Sparko

I haven't had any change in speeds. Had a call from BT who said that they had heard reports that it was fixed. Anyone else in Ashbourne checked their speeds today?

Mine speed is still the same. On the Ashbourne exchange. It says 2048/256 in the modem settings, but it's getting poor speeds on the various speed tests using different browers.

jarvis
