    BT is still in **** now. Up and down all the time and huge pings. This service has been awful for a few weeks. Getting very tempted to dump this lot soon unless they sort it out.

    Happening North Dublin all the time for the last few weeks also. Is this Eircom
    messing around in exchanges I wonder ? Has anyone had any luck with contacting BT ?

    Contacting BT! You are kidding aren't you? :/

    I've not been having any problem in Limerick with it recently, it's been fairly solid at 3Mb for me in the evenings anyway. Could be problems during the day but I don't know as I'm not at home.

    It might just be a continuation of the DNS problems they have been having the last few weeks - might be worth your while getting the DNS address of the OpenDNS servers or the Eircom servers and keeping them handy for when BT decides to die.

    Boards ip - 82.195.136.36

    No sites are loading for me atm - Clonee BT BB

    I've got google availability...

    Anyone know how to access the ip of favourite sites as a backup when BT goes down like this?
