    Mine connection seems okay now. But I can't get on to the UPC website!! How can that be a coincidence?

    My parents broadband has been fvcked since last week. It's probably all to do with this:
    http://www.siliconrepublic.com/news/article/12126/comms/dangerous-storm-wreaks-havoc-across-eircoms-network

    www.eircom.ie has an update from last Friday saying they'd half the faults fixed, so I imagine that this will go on for another week or so.

    Can't access www.eircom.net at all from outside eircom's network. From within the network, one node in particular has 500ms latencies - 86.43.242.62 - though I'd say that's a symptom more than a cause.

    You think they'd put an update on the eircom.net website or something.

    Thanks to boards.ie and contributors for very helpful information about opendns. I phoned eircom a couple of days ago about outages. A sympathetic lady commiserated and said she'd had the same problem. I asked why they didn't give information about outages on their website, to save people thinking the problem was with their computers or modems. She thought that was a good idea and would suggest it to her supervisor - but was unable to give me the name of someone to write to. I wonder how widespread the problem is, and why it hasn't been mentioned in the papers or on the radio.

    That's odd because I rang yesterday about an interleaving query and before I got talking to any agent, I had to listen to a prerecorded message saying something like "We are aware of technical issues involving certain websites not loading and are trying to resolve it. Apologies for the inconvenience.".

    Must be only in specific areas that people are having these problems because I haven't seen anything wrong.

    Eircom is usually the best, in 2 1/2 years I've only had 2 or 3 problems, last night being one of them. Other providers have lots of hidden charges, such as billing you for going slightly over your dl limit, which has never happened anyone i know with eircom. It seems ok today again, for the moment anyway.

    How is this going for people?

    Mine is acting up again tonight!! When I sit forward on my bed it works, but when I bring the laptop back onto my lap, it doesn't!!!

    This is seriously pissing me off, it's been weeks ffs, surely they would have fixed whatever problem there was by now?

    What do you mean Ossi? "keeps crashing" - you mean that you cannot get onto web sites (as per the earlier thread) or your connection keeps losing synch?

    Some more information would be helpful.

    Well I came home to no broadband. It keeps losing sync. I'm on santry exchange I believe.

    Really annoying since I bought dawn of war 2 and it requires a net connection to activate :(

    Well its obviously not wide spread or there would be dozens of posts about it here. Too many people complain about their broadband when its a more local problem, like their wireless connection etc. You should check out all other possibilities first.

    Could someone post the eircom broadband support number?

    I'm using a iPhone that is only picking up edge to post and the eircom site is really slow. Need to ring these guys and log a ticket about the DSL sync loss

    It doesn't look very widespread looking at the ammount of posts but its definately something Eircom need to sort, or else they'll start to build up a reputation

    Big outage today for me. I'm in Edenderry, Offaly, and I don't know what exchange I'm on, but internet was down for me for something like 6 hours today from afternoon to evening. Phone support confirmed that there was an area wide problem.

    Now that I have the net back, my ping to pretty much everything including google increased by 100-200, making gaming impossible. This is worrying as it smacks of 'we just fixed it but it's going to stay broken for you'. Anyone else here affected?

    Mine's crawling along too, 1.4MB approx when it should be nearer 7MB, pings of 3 or 4 hundred. No murdering fat American kids Call of Duty for me tonight :D
