DSL down?

Rancid

Any Eircom bb users in Dublin 1 area unable to connect today?
Seems to be down since 4pm, so I'm told....

Basq

Fine here in Sligo anyways.

Maybe early effects of the upgrading process. 20 seconds to 2 minutes downtime, my arse!

Spunj

Yep, been down since 4ish here too. I rang and they told me that the server at South Dublin is down and they had no ETA on a fix. I've had to use a modem to connect

Bastard! Beat me to it!... was about to post the exact same thing!

Heh yeah, I am lucky theres one built into my laptop as I gave the modems I had away. My brother is on UTV and his BB is also down, looks like anyone connecting thru the downed server regardless of ISP has lost their connection too.

Ripwave in Dun Laoghaire was down for me for the first time ever, at around 4.30pm this afternoon. I got no signal at all from the Killiney Hill transmitter. I always have gotten a constant red light at the aerial and 3/10 signal strength and between 5 and 6/10 on the signal quality on the Navini Diagnostic app. It came back just as suddenly as it had disappeared within an hour... I don't have a phone line so I'm happy enough with Ripwave (till the next best thing comes along)

bandy

I am on ESAT and the connection has been down since at least 5.30. I m in Dublin 2.

Does anyone know any status on when to expect it back up... this is the worst day possible to go down ... I have to try and buy my glastonbury tickets online tomorrow morning !!

I was told by Eircom that there was an outage at the Dolphin's Barn exchange - I'm in Dublin 8.

robinph

My broadband in Lucan has been down since around about 3 or 4pm too. I was hoping that it might mean the upgrade was coming early, but no I've been downgraded to 56k again.

philologos

lol im in lucan too on esat now im on 56k

robinph

Would be nice to have some broadband of any speed right now.

Does anyone have any idea why variuos excahnges have been down all afternoon?

Heres an update from UTV Rep Carl:

After checking with support there's a BB outtage in Dublin (Dolphin's
Barn exchange). The guys in support raised a ticket with Eircom (they
were already aware of the problem) over it earlier tonite. Not sure on
the status of this right now - hopefully it's back up and running ?
