Yeah, there are slow speeds and connectivity issues effecting nearly the entire network right now. No use calling, it will be fixed soon.

Eircom tech support say its an issue with a router in London. It was fixed, but it broke again just before 16.30.

So a router goes down in London and their DNS servers stop working... Typical eircom.. place a broken router back into the rack :eek:

Still seems to be up and down. It's odd though. I moved to Opendns, which is better, but still having probs with accessing some sites (like google blog search).

Well, that might the case for some sites, but no google, gmail or youtube, because they are on INEX , so is Eircom and I believe they are peering.

As for the thing in London, yes, Eircom seems to have (or has had) trouble with one carrier. Looks to be them only though.

Wait for a dry day, find the local eircom box on the curb, tape it up with self-amalgaming tape and you'll never have those issues again
