Internet Problems

NufcNavan · 2009-07-07 00:06:58

I'm led to believe that there are certain 'works' going on in Meath in regards to the broadband service. I've heard from a load of people now across different parts of the county complaining that their internet has been dodgy over the past few weeks, as has mine. Anyone on here experience anything simular to this.?

Has it been your broadband with eircom.net? If so then their DNS has been flaky over the last number of weeks with intermittent service. If this is the problem then you could try configuring your setup to opendns. You'll find discussion and detail over on the broadband forum;

I kept getting a DNS error message when trying to access the internet last night. Seems to be ok now though..... but for how long?

You should scrap eircom and get onto NTL, amazing speeds.

No need to change internet provider lads. Just switch to openDNS. Hasn't let me down yet.

www.opendns.com

Works like a charm.
