Slow speeds on UPC all week.

Use NetStumbler to check for other wireless networks, don't suppose you have a spare wireless router you could try.

Hi all,
In Blackrock upc's service is terrible too. Every second day between 9AM or 10AM and half past 11AM or 12AM online led on the modem switch off, sometimes afternoon around 5PM or 6PM not working too. I sent many email to customer service but you know, I got answer: switch your modem for 30 sec .... blablabla. Its a joke company. Ping is the other joke, never seen that under 100, play online FPS game is nightmare.
I didnt get first two months for half price too but I dont want to write email again. It was enough. No points.
I just wondering about other solution but I am not sure. Any ombudsman in Ireland or any idea what can I do now?

You can file a complaint with the communications regulator but that never seems to go anywhere. Other than that...?

Anyone lost their internet tonight?. Mine was gone for the last 45 mins.

T-b0n3 · 26-08-2009 10:05pm

Mines fine.

h2s · 26-08-2009 10:33pm

Here in Newbridge has been good for a while now since the previous ping issue.

Oat23 · 26-08-2009 10:52pm

Don't know what going on with mine, speed and ping is better than it ever has been but it keeps cutting out. From 9pm till 9.45pm, then from 10.20pm to 10.50pm.

20 MB wired

I hate to dig up an old thread but I'm getting really slow downloads/dropouts this evening.

My 20mb connection is at:

14-09-2009 8:37pm

I'm getting 2Mb on a 10Mb connection in D24 with UPC

Mine's a 20Mb connection in D24 also.

It is even worse on a wireless client

Edit: I'm glad I'm not the only one to be suffering

MAJJ · 14-09-2009 9:11pm

3mb in D16 seems ok. Not being smug just pointing out for comparisons sake.

Jesus Wept · 14-09-2009 9:17pm

UPC Cúnts

MagicMarker · 14-09-2009 9:18pm

Tallaght - 10mb

14-09-2009 9:25pm

:eek:

Evidently you have the entire bandwidth allocation for Tallaght right there. I'm still getting 1Mb.

FloatingVoter · 14-09-2009 9:30pm

Cork Street..Dublin 8 (20Mbs):rolleyes:

The Galway server is normally better to check on. Dublin server is as bad.

Dublin_Gunner · 14-09-2009 9:38pm

10Mb in D11, not too bad, but I have generally been getting 8-9.5...

However, I do know there have been problems on the UPC network, Digi TV also over the last week or so. Maybe network upgrades / maintenance etc?

**edit

Hmm, just tested again - definitely an issue

Seems pretty rubbish all right. I'm still hovering around 1Mb up and 1Mb down.

me-skywalker · 14-09-2009 9:59pm

taht was eircom.. but its prob best not to go into them!!

donmeister · 14-09-2009 10:10pm

In Galway,what the fudge

:(

mccreesj · 14-09-2009 11:11pm

Over wifi:

Burgo · 14-09-2009 11:25pm

fine for me in d9.

Dublin_Gunner · 14-09-2009 11:46pm

Mine appears to be back to normal now also

donmeister · 15-09-2009 12:04am

Lol what a difference 3 hours make! :rolleyes:

Nehaxak · 15-09-2009 1:07am

Eh... well it's gone a bit mad for me tonight here in D11

Great download speeds and all that, actually pretty bloody fantastic but only certain sites are working. A lot of sites outside of Ireland not working for me so I'm presuming it's a DNS problem with UPC.

I'll happily keep the speeds though

Nehaxak · 15-09-2009 1:08am

Seriously, wtf :eek:

That's my new sig sorted out then anyway.

donal.hunt · 15-09-2009 1:41am

probably due to the issues UPC were having...

I'm getting normal throughout now (rock-solid 10 down/1 up):

Dublin_Gunner · 15-09-2009 9:58am

Nehaxak - now we know, you were sucking up EVERYONE'S bandwidth!!!

Slow speeds on UPC all week.
