Eircom pings gone skyward again?

Dcully

Similar to yesterday during daytime eircom pings have gone skyward.
500 or so yesterday and 250 today to UK servers.
Irish servers are pinging 30-50 as usual and the same as yesterday while UK servers were very high.
It was sorted after a while yesterday evening,me hopes this aint gonna be a regular daytime occurance.
Strange issue,anyone else having the same ?

try a traceroute, i can only assume its a problem with their peering or at LINX

Dcully

yeah have tried it and as soon as it exits our shores things get nasty.

Dcully

Hmmm back to normal again

jonski

Same here , but as you say , back to normal again now

theres definitely a problem at eircom today, at the moment i cant acess google or hotmail any if i try to ping jolt nothing happens at all.

dalk

phew....

not the only one this is affecting then...

Cant access a bunch of big sites as well via eircom dsl.. sites i would be surprised if they were down, or at least were all simultaneously down

It's not just Eircom-Broadband. The same thing has been happening to me today, with Eircom dial-up.

Funkygreendogs

yep, same here im on eircom dialup too. However i seem to be getting an enormous amount of eircom ips scanning my pc for netbios ports 139/135/445 and the windows messenger ports, so i assume there must be some virus on the loose. Anyways after 3/4mins from the time i log on the connection isnt too bad
Wonder what is going on though still

eircom's dns server's went a bit knuts for a while
the problem seems to have resolved (get it??) itself

AdMMM

Your so witty

Thankfully the DNS fùck up didnt affect me as I generally access gameservers by IP!

Problems at telehouse in the UK apparently, causing various problems all day.

Update: was ok for a while but gone crazy again and the same for some of my clan mates also on eircom bb.
Irish servers fine UK ones not so

CyberGhost

happened to me too

this sucks big time

It didn't use to happen before,

after this damn "upgrade" everything has been falling apart

shinzon

for the last 4 days this has been happening, as soon as my traceroute leaves ireland for the uk they shoot skyward come down for a bit then go up again

And it hasnt got any better for me anyway

Sucks big time, 1 more day im giving eircom to get this sorted and then im onto them, and god help whoevers at the other end

Was ok for a time this morning bout 11 am gone skyward again when i checked just now.
I have eircom bb for five months now and tbh i was always glad to say i never had any downtime or slowdowns,expensive but great product [minus the 128k upload ofcourse]but this week its crazy

CyberGhost

same here Dcully, I went with eircom because of their service, they are expensive, but at least they had good service that hardly ever failed before.

it still does it, but now in short bursts for 10-15 seconds, jolt.co.uk was unreachable, it seems like nothing, but it's a huge problem.
