Can someone from higher up in Eircom just ring me and give me assurances of what they are doing to fix the problem
I'm afraid you will need to report this issue to our support channel on 1890 260 260 (telephone number and option 0) They'll troubleshoot the issue and hopefully resolve it. Unfortunately we can't log this from here in our channel.
Thanks

I want my broadband back0 -
imagine gone again 3 times tonight
I was vpn in to work and the internet went down again. All my work down the drain
How can I not after nearly 2 months now get a bloody answer why this is happening
3 engineers out to my house already and nothing has been done to correct the problem. I was told today by the engineer that he will escalate the problem, lost count have times iv been told that now:rolleyes:
dont give me the crap about ringing technical support they know less than the reps here0 -

The engineer was out at the exchange yesterday as per the escalation with support REF: 11906462
The case is still open and I am sorry we have no more news / updates at the moment.

I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to give a lead time on when this will be resolved, they are working on it on a daily basis to try resolve it.

I'm afraid we are not a support channel here so have limited access to your case. The last update was 2/10 they had ran tests but no solid conclusion was met.
If you wish to follow up on this you can call the support team directly on 1890 260 260 (telephone number and option 0) They'll be able to discuss the case in details with you.
Thanks

What a joke your company is. I come home to see my broadband gone back to 2mb, since 2010 it has always been 3mb. I ring your support and give out and its gone back to 3mb but its not the point. Your engineers are a poor joke at this stage. They arent fixing my problem
what a ****ing awful joke eircom are. Im really angry at this debacle0 -
Happened again tonight. Its really heart breaking
Just feels like nothing is happening
Its sad to see your techs thinking lowering the speed solves everything, thats not my problem at all, nothing to do with it at all0 -

what a ****ing awful joke eircom are. Im really angry at this debacle
Broadband technical support did want to try to adjust the profile to 2MB for a few days to compare the connection disconnects logged since the case was re-escalated monitoring the 3MB profile.
I appreciate it is ongoing and very frustrating for you, however we are just trying to rule out all we can to find a resolution.

Not a chance will I even entertain the idea of lowering my speed, its an exchange problem simple as that. Even talking to other Eircom engineers they they think its the mast ie the microwave causing the trouble
It went again last night0 -

Again, I did not say that would be the resolution. It was step in the investigation to compare the speeds on the two profiles.

Congestion may defiantly be a factor. I am not disputing what you have outlined to date.
I am sure you appreciate we are limited in the technical direct checks we can do.
So we are checking with the case and support for case updates.

Its really so frustrating 4 times my internet went last night, interrupting work. Its really making me angry that I feel nothing has been done and no one is telling me what is the fault and how it can be fixed. I rang Eircom technical support and truth be told they really dont have a clue tbh. I was told the reference number that Mark gave me
REF: 11906462 doesnt show up and my problem that iv had since August hasnt been looked at for a few days now. The mind truly boggles. You think I love to post in this forum? I despise it so much. I hate being reminded of the trouble im having but if I dont do anything ill be stuck with this fault for ever.
I got a new reference number and once again an Engineer is going to look at the fault. The circle never ends does it
I ring Eircom technical support, they send out an engineer, engineer looks at the internal wiring of house, everything perfect. He doesnt have a clue what to do. Drives away saying he with escalate the matter. Its a never ending circle and iv had enough of it.
The last engineer I had at my house was an absolute pig and I would never let him near my house again.0 -

I can see how frustrating this is and apologies that we have not been able to resolve the issue.
I do not understand why you were not update when you quoted ref number provided by Mark. I can assure you this is the correct Fault Reference number and contains full details of issue.
As Mark stated above we are aware that there is congestion there and it is not your connection, synch or line. Our technicians eliminated those options and have identified the issue, which is congestion to your exchange. We have escalated your case to operations for action and I have made sure this is seen at the highest level. I have asked to be updated on any proposal to this issue and will let you know as soon as I have this.
I am sorry that I cannot resolve this immediately but am pushing for action on this.

Headshot, are you by any chance using the Eircom D1000 router? If so, it's a piece of sh1t. The firmware is appalling, port forwards dont work and it wont even bridge to another router. I had exactly the same issues you are having with my connection dropping. Tech support said cant possibly be the router, line test is showing a faulty filter in your eircom socket, we will get an engineer out to replace it. Three weeks later still no contact, no engineer, nothing. Went onto amazon and bought my own router (TP-Link W8970), not one problem since installing it, port forwards work great and no dropped connection.0

Doesnt matter, iv used 3rd party routers and still the same trouble0

I too have had problems with the broadband service lately, I live in balbriggan and yes last week there was a day when the service was down but before and after that I have noticed on my router the broadband go off and you would see the router re set itself (not sure if that is right tems but the wi fi, dsl and and broadband lights would go on and off and re set itself,
it is very annoying to be in the middle of something and the internet to go,0 -
The internet has been a nightmare for me tonight, numerous cut outs
I know ill have to have patience thou. I feel im getting somewhere now but id love to know what is happening with the exchange for example is it going to be upgraded?0 -

If you would like to send me a PM with your name and telephone number and I can look into the line and broadband connection for you.
Thanks, Mark0 -
I was hoping to give Eircom by November to reply to this thread but its just dreadful at the moment. I cant really take it.
Eircom reps is there any developments?0 -
headshot im having a similiar problem,from 3-4pm onwards my speed drops to a level so bad i cant play online gaming or watch on demand tv,same thing ive had numerous engineers out all telling me my line is perfect but i have so many screen shots to prove otherwise using eircom's own speed test,absolutely soul destroying to be paying for a service that can only be used before tea time.
im supposed to be on ngb but im most definitely not.0 -

Yes the broadband at night is awfully slow, cant watch videos but my problem goes further than that in terms of just losing internet connection all the time. It could go for a few seconds, minutes or 30 plus minutes
Its so frustrating that I cant do work from home each evening0
