    Anyone else on Vodafone (or any DSL) broadband having problems this morning? I'm in Meath. Just interested to know if it's widespread before I call them.

    Grand, widespread problem so, which is better tbh as it'll be fixed quicker. Thanks for the reply!

    Eventually got through to tech support after 20 mins waiting, and the lady said "broadband down?" before I said anything. It's affecting all 04X area codes seemingly.

    Someone reboot the big 04X router please!! :D

    Seems to be a major issue in the North-East. Affecting a lot of people.

    Cavan here, its down here as well. Its been problematic ever since we upgraded to faster broadband speed. I'll admit that it is much faster but keeps dropping the connection. I'm told its because I didn't purchase a vodafone router !

    What router are you using? I thought you needed a special router for the efibre.

    I'm having terrible trouble with them at the moment. I'm waiting since the 23rd of september for them to switch my BB from Sky to them:mad: Shocking service I keep getting pushed from one person to another, promised call backs that never happen, emails not being replied to, I'm not a happy bunny. Think I'll go to Eircom.
