    Hi,
    Last night I noted some lag issues which I normally don't have while gaming.

    A little bit of investigation and I'm noticing I'm loosing e.g. 1 packet in 35 - 40.

    Not so noticeable in web browsing but definitely the effect is felt in latency sensitive apps.

    Anyone else seeing this?:confused:

    Same problem here. Worked fine up until about tuesday and it has gotten worse every day since then to the point where online gaming is unplayable and web pages are taking about 5 minutes to load.
    Hopefully it will be sorted soon, I thought I was the only one.

    It doesnt seem to be a consistent connection problem, its more of a latency problem where it could work fine for 5-40 minutes and experience one huge spike and go slow for the next 10 minutes before looping again. Although today has been by far the worst day for it. Almost consistently slow.

    Fixed in Limerick now.
    Working superbly. No packet drops + full speed.
    I could get use to this (left Eircom after 4 months of awful connection with no fixing happening).:)
