Sad Professor

It's back here!

Been down for a few hours here in Dublin 9, but some sites slowly coming back.

One of the Google IPs (74.125.39.104) working, others aren't. boards.ie back, last.fm working, gmail working, snappieT.com working. Otherwise everything is dead.

Edit: Right as I type this, everything seems to be back. Deadly.

Back for me too - Dublin 7 area. Got home around 22:00 and it was completely dead - some things still seem sluggish but it's improving by the minute.

Back for me now. Alot of .ie sites wouldn't load at first but they seem to be back to normal.

Mine is back on here in Waterford also

Mine is back up too, and it's faster too. I was due an upgrade I think, I was on 2Mb now it looks like 6Mb.

Silver lining I suppose. If only they didn't have to break my connection for 2 hours to do it (or at least warn me beforehand!).

Seems fine here now too, just tested at around 18Mbit/s down and 1.3Mbit/s up. Wonder what happened? Obviously fairly major, good to know they had the resources to get it sorted on a Sunday night!

Swords is not back yet.

Edited at 2332 GMT, I'm back online and with good speed too.

speedtest.magnet.ie claims I have Download Speed: 18610 kbps (2326.3 KB/sec transfer rate) and Upload Speed: 1445 kbps (180.6 KB/sec transfer rate).

Ouch!!! Somebodies going to get a nice bill for that. Must get the low down tomorrow.

Fibre strike in the Inchicore/Clondalkin area. It's affected a bunch of carriers. There's a crew out re-splicing fibres atm, should be finished within the hour apparently

Was out over here in D15 and most of D15 from what I heard. Back up and running again..

Guy:Incognito

I take it the phone service is run seperately snce that didnt go down?


I was havign a skype conversation when it went down, but that stayed active not havign internet acess. When I reset everything (obviously ending the skype call at that stage) it signed me into skype again but it wouldnt show me who was online. My cousin that I was talking to on skype at the time is on NTL too so it was a bit odd when we both lost internet but were able to continue talkignon skype.

Was gone yesterday evening here in D15, completely. Phone service was working fine as was digital and analogue TV.

Rebooted the cable modem a few times and all lights were on, so I guess the connection to UPC's network was fine, but their connection to the internet was down.

I had to reboot this morning before mine connected again, did everyone else have to do that?

Was down in D17 last night and in the middle of downloading:mad:

Connection there but no connection to the net:rolleyes:

Have not checked this morning is is back up in D17?

Get0fix

Thanks to everyone for all the updates, I tried to add my comments last night, but as I hit "Submit" on my post, my connection died for the night... lol

Glad to hear things are back, will check out my BB when I get home this evening.

Back in D7 ..

Irish Gunner

just rang them and they said they had problems last night

Advised to reboot modem and problem should be sorted

I had issues that seemed to be DNS based last night.

Hmm... no reboot required for me ... sounds like something they are told to tell all customers (probably some strange psychology behind it ... let the customer think that rebooting it could have fixed the problem so they feel like it wasn't entirely our problem ... or maybe I'm just paranoid)

I think that was the issue for everybody. It appears to be connected, Sync & ready light up and it was recieving a dns address and alternative dns so I noticed in my router. But still it was getting no connection it was very strange.

DingDong

Don't think it was a fibre cut that caused the fault(diversity would of solved that problem) more a a problem with the DNS.

IsThatSo?

Mine went down last night too, about 8.30. My phone went down also though (Rathcoole area). I tried to make a phone call and a lovely automated voice told me there was a technical problem. All seems well this morning though, speeds back to normal.

Speeds are cr*p this evening though, sigh.

Is it my imagination or has the network gone scatty since the last round of upgrades? I was getting a great service on my 3, then 6, line - but since its gone up to 10 its very unreliable

Down in D7 ?
