    Hey guys

    last night - couldn't get on the internet with NTL, Irish broadband or my vodafone 3G connection

    anyone know anything about this? NTL is still not working but IBB is...

    any info won't really help but it would be nice to know :)

    No NTL service in greater Dublin area from 1130pm to 910am this (Bank Holiday Monday)morning
    No Customer Support whatsoever
    NTL now running at sub dial up speeds....
    All this in first 36 hours of my NTL broadband
    The third sales man (oh yeah sales line is open....) I spoke to said no technical support available till 9am tommorow ,Tuesday.
    NTL service VERY unimpressive so far-shame as actual connection was great for first 24 hours

    yeah mate! i only just got NTL installed on friday - i thought surely now i have a reliable connection.. WTF??

    also there was no warning/advice of this outage? and last night you couldn't even call NTL's number... what a crock.

    It doesn't really explain why IBB and my vodafone 3G also weren't working though.. if it is some all-ireland thing i would have thought there would be some news about it..

    at first i thought it might have been something to do with the daylight savings time switch etc but you would think that would have been saturday night?

    My NTL went down after the power cut/outages last night. I was hoping they would get it going again because of the bankholiday. Thats all We would need! Atleast its going again.

    I rang around last night there seemed to be quite a large amount of dublin without Eircom, clearwire and NTL after the power outages.

    Mine went off too last night 2nd time in 3 years terrible service :D. It looks like the wrong config file was loaded into my modem I notice that this morning. I reset it and it was back working fine. My vodafone 3G was grand last night.

    They were changing some software last week and that knocked off a few nodes but that was sorted on the same day. Possible something to do with that.

    can't get through to NTL tech support - first time i tried the guy said they weren't even open today... (after 10am)

    now they have a pre-recorded message saying something about a 'minor technical problem' last night....

    so were there power outages last night? is that why there were internet problems everywhere?

    phew, thought it was only I, ... I'm glad other people are suffering alongside with me, haha.

    It's back now, don't forget to power cycle your modems.

    ...P.S. sum bich, it's moments like this that make me realize just how much I love my internets.

    Same, I actually began to think about life without technology:D

    (also, what's power cycling?)

    Yeah NTL went off last night here in Lucan at around 10.30, checked at 1am and it was still down, so powered off everything and when I checked this morning it was back, seems to be a country as Chorus BB went down in Clonmel last night and is still down.
    What caused the power outages I wonder? Wasn't to windy last night?

    Seocnd time NTL have been down this week.

    Like I mentioned on another forum, you can claim for NTL's down time, but you must ring Accounts, and it has to be weighed up against the length of time you wait on hold.

    There were issues in Dublin last night which broke the internets for an hour or two. It affected sites that a bunch of ISPs have equipment located at, so a fair few would have been impacted in different ways.

    event log
    It came back on around Mon Oct 29 09:04:57 2007 before that no DHCP renewals.

    will accounts only credit you for the downtime in which case there is no point calling or would you get more compensation ??
