Is there a problem with Eir broadband today?

Akrasia

From around 5 or 6 pm today I have been having a very ropey internet connection. Many sites won't load, I'm getting 70% packet loss, netflix is constantly buffering, Xbox live won't work at all...

Speedtests are giving good connection results, but there is definitely an issue. Boards.ie is taking a minute to open up some threads for example.

Is anyone else having these kinds of problems?

Same time of fault starting here, now completely gone. Where are you, I'm in Cork.

Same in Limerick

Yeah, now that someone else mentioned it.

In my case Netflix worked fine on the MacBook but not on the PS3 because psn couldn't sign in.

Aerlingus wouldn't load, Ryanair did eventually.

I'm in Ennis. 

Even posting these messages results in webpages hanging 

As long as it's not just my own account I dont mind. I can't be bothered spending hours trying to troubleshoot a fault on my line

Instead of a game of Battlefield 4, I'm reduced to playing Daytona USA. A game that was made almost before the www internet was invented.

Same here in Roscrea, Co. Tipperary. First the connection was intermittent and slow. Now it's gone completely. Tried ringing tech support, but nobody answered.

Same in Kerry, getting 1.5mbs speeds since 6pm this evening. Using mobile Internet to send this message. Soooo wanna leave Eir, nothing but issues, overbilling being the major ongoing problem....the stress of it...

Donne

Cork here.

I just tried to play a video on the BBC News website but it kept buffering. Other websites are causing hassle as well.

Could you guys at Eir tell us whats going on!?

Doodah7

Definite issue here in the east. Cannot get into a number of sites or the Apple App store on either iPad or iPhone. Switched on a VPN and everything fine. So definitely an eir connction issue.

oisinmc14

Getting the same in Limerick. Any word from Eir?

Unpossible

Same here in Tralee, I also have had little or no signal on my phone for most of the day and night.

java

Thought it was just me! Having trouble loading websites all evening. I'm in Dublin.

MyPeopleDrankTheSoup

Same in ennis, for me and everybody I know with eircom. Seems to be peering? With some sites fine and others fu.cked

And great work keeping the spam off the community.eir.ie site

CutWeldDrive

anyone manage to get in contact with support,, been gone since 6 here intermittently and now completely gone. dial up would be faster.

MrsMcSteamy

Same in offaly here, but been like this past couple of evenings, daytime fine, but running fierce slow in the evening

Michelle_b

Same on mine down in Waterford. Buffering on everything on and off tonight

richardw001

Disgrace really - nothing on their web site - I guess look on the bright side though sounds like half the country is down so at least they have to fix it !

Deagol

In Ennis, same problem. One mate in Newmarket on Fergus is having same issue, other mate who is with Vodafone isn't seeing any issues though so it's an Eir issue. Bah!

swoofer

same here in clarecastle, the annoying thing is, I was blaming my pc and was faffing about until I looked on here. Glad I did.  I wish Eir would have a proper satus page with the traffic lights.  but thats hoping.

Akrasia

It appears to be working again now

Can someone from Eir please come on this thread and acknowledge that there was an issue last night that was identified and resolved? or are we going to see these issues returning again tonight?

Haven't even bothered switching on the router again. Just gave up last night.
Would also like some kind of acknowledgment and explanation.

Edit... limerick
