    Just switched to OpenDNS myself.. Will stick with it until it starts acting up on me which it has a tendency to do... I wish Eircom would tell us about this BEFORE they do it rather than a crappy apology email weeks after...

    This is a disgrace.When it was happening about 2 weeks ago they were claiming some nonsense and sent out a lame apology letter,yet it is still happening. How long before they fix it for good? What are we paying for? Can we expect this to happen every few weeks for a few days where we can't access certain pages. I need access to my e-mail for important things like college/work etc yet I can't get access at all. Its a joke.

    Would there be anyone actually in Eircom doing anything especially considering its after business hours and a bank holiday as well, I would think its just automatics in control with an engineer on call?
