    Similar problem in Swords but it is even stranger.

    Some websites or connections are working fine, others just dont.

    I can reach one website but not others, my phone connects to one provider but not the other.

    I'm now on my O2 backup.

    Similar story in Galway. I have no connectivity to most of the internet. I'm only on here because I have a 3G modem for work.

    had problems here in blanchardstown for a good few hours last night , websites not opening , crazy pings and packet loss .

    switched to my BT connection for the rest of the night but tried the UPC line again and it was back to normal around midnight.

    not sure if it's still ok as i'm using the BT connection now.

    Yeah mine was messed up here in Waterford. I could only visit a few sites and boards.ie was not one of them, yahoo.co.uk seemed to work.

    Eveything seems to be working now though.

    I was connected to Google talk and gmail. They were the only 2 i could connect to. Then I reset and all i could get was a different forum, and UPC.ie

    Strange

    My UPC connection is back now too. They probably had a routing issue inside their own network.

    I'm back too in Swords on UPC, must have been an UPC internal routing issue.

    I always check boards.ie 1st before testing or even calling UPC as last reserve.

    This is my 1st outage since I moved over to UPC a month ago.

    I would if I could, but im relyant on UPC! Those feckers only have 2 classical songs on their "on hold" music playlist! if their gonna be used so much, surely they could pop in 1 or 2 other ones. Like 3! 3 have some nice customer service songs.... anywho...

    Had the same here. By the looks of it it was a routing problem. Some sites would tracert, others would die after one hop. Fixed now anyways.

    Same problem here too - could connect to some sites but not to others. Didn't seem to be any pattern to what you could or could not connect to either. It seems resolved now...

    No all seems to be good. Everyone pretty much came back online at the same time. You will notice that there was a flood of posts on the forum at about the same time in this thread when it came back.
