Beyond frustrated with patchy broadband speeds

    Howdy folks,

    I think I'm at the end of my tether here. I'm a long time eir customer, I still have some of Telecom Éireann stickers stuck to the card rack next to my landline. I'm afraid the time has come to say goodbye though.

    I work from home and rely on having a consistent connection at the very least. When I signed up for the broadband I assumed I wouldn't have the speeds quoted in the package, and I even made my peace with the below average speeds I ended up with. What I can't overlook though is the sheer inconsistency of the connection. Sometimes it's okay, sometimes it's horribly slow...sometimes there's no connection whatsoever and my last recourse is the utterly horrible support network.

    I think it's time a lot of us looked at ourselves and really ask, would I accept this level of service in other aspects of my life? Would I pay to have my rubbish bins taken away, only for them to take away a fraction of it, or sometimes not show at all without explanation. Because that's what this company has become and is, pure rubbish.

    Have a nice weekend everyone.

    Eir has been pretty abysmal, especially lately.

    Just to say I’m also having connection issues lately. Internet often goes down for several minutes and then will come back. The eir vision tv doesn’t seem to be effected. I have a nest cam which sends notifications when the internet goes down for a period, I’m getting about 10 of these everyday. I visited my parents this weekend who also have eir and noticed the exact same thing, goes down randomly for about 5- 10 minutes then comes back. Anyone else seeing this?
