Eircom BB very slow in Wicklow Town

jspuds · 2009-09-30 21:19:14

Anybody else having trouble with Eircom tonight? BB has been rock solid for weeks but since about 9PM all web traffic is crawling. Dropping every 3-4 pings to boards and google. Speedtests showing less than 1MB on a 7.6MB connection.

I checked a couple of Eircom routers around Longford this evening as I have also had probs with connection. One 7.6 mb was getting 0.33 mbs on speedtest, the other one could barely load a page.

I think Eircom is melting down.
