    Has Ireland offline anything to say on the subject?

    Uhm we've contacted IBB, we're collating all the complaints on this forum about IBB (thanks Thaed) and we will bring them all to ComReg and make a formal complaint on behalf of everyone. We started doing this at the end of last week. There's a thread on this forum about it. While it is very quick for people to lash out at IBB on this forum it appears they are a lot slower in providing information to Thaed.

    How many of you lads have sent on your details to Thaed?

    I have sent on my problems already...

    If every one else did the same then Damien from the irelandoffline forum will act on our behalf... So any one who has been having ongoing problems with IBB, visit the Ireland offline thread, get Thaeds' email addy and send him a rundown of the problems you are having and the responses you have had from IBB. You can find the details here ...

    I haven't. There are people in north-west Dublin who are suffering horrendous speeds well below IBB's CIR. ComReg and/or IOFFL may well be able to help those guys. My connection is by any normal definition crap, but it's a lot better than what those guys are getting. Crap all the same, but because it is typically above IBB's CIR there's not a lot IBB will do or ComReg or IOFFL can do, being realistic about it. So personally I think telling people what the real performance of the connection is like is going to do a lot more than complaining to ComReg etc.

    As I have suggested before, I would think setting up a speed test site where people can say what ISP they came from, would be quite effective in terms of providing feedback about ISP's real delivered performance as opposed to the fluff on their web sites.

    But realistically I'm just going to take my business elsewhere and I will keep telling anyone who asks me to avoid IBB like the plague.
