[OUTAGE] Eircom broadband down in Southeast

SV

Anyone else with the usual problems? Bloody eircom.

Carlow area.
Connecting to dsl but not the internet itself. Grr

I heard on the news earlier about an exchange fault in the Waterford area which is having knock-on effects in surrounding areas. Could be that.

Baneblade

They have had problems with exchanges that connect into their waterford server today

you can check for updates here

Mine's still down after a full 24 hours - the helphone bod reckoned it might be Monday before full use is restored
Using a crappy old dialup modem for now, which is a right pita.
South Tipp area, so a cow's probably rammed a microwave pole with the dish on top.

SV

Back up in Carlow.
Not sure what time it came back.

I'm on Digiwebs DSL, and its been down since Friday Mid day. Damn you Eircom still wrecking my DSL and I dont even pay you for the pleasure now.



I'm in Kilkenny, but going through a Carlow based Exchange I think.

Mine came back up at 04.45 this morning, according to the router log. Then went off again, but back up now. Hope it stays that way.
I'm keeping the old modem all plugged in for now, just in case.

i got mine back this morning, i'm with vodafone and they said something about 'the password wasn't put in for a server....but we dont know which server' a very irish way to run a broadband company :P also said that '20,000 people are effected' not sure how real any of that is but still....thought i'd share

ireland will have no broadband except for upc and wifi stuff :P

ashleey

Up and running here in kilkenny now. Thank you Eircom engineers for working on a Saturday.

Where will the network that feeds the wifi hotspots come from when eircom are dead and buried? UPC only have cable to handful of towns/cities. We will all be using midband dongles like they do in Namibia.

exspes

does anyone actually have a list of what towns and cities upc provide for and any upcoming ones, i remember when eircom switched to 24 meg there was a clear list of all the exchanges being updated with the ADSL2+
