Have same problem with IOLBB+ been a disgrace for nearly 2 weeks in the evening and worst weekend since I got the service. Pings skyhigh download speeds no better than a 512 service on a 2mb connection.

Me too for IOLBB+ but its not that bad.

Only get 100Kb-ish from heanet when downloading, pings seem ok

Bandwith issue for IOL now?

Brutal all day today. First hop on UTV's network is pinging around 170ms!
Playing games I ping around 200-250. Unplayable.

Makes grim reading im afraid. Funny thing is i've sent Esat 3 emails complaining about poor latency/download speeds and no response from them. Again it started 2 weeks ago with pings jumping in bursts after 7pm and slowly spiraled to continuous high latency. This weekend since Friday evening its been terrible non-stop. Otherwise the 18 months i've had the service its been reliable. Could this be a contention issue or some technical fault?

Stephen

Since multiple ISP's seem to be having this problem, it makes me think that its a cock up on the eircom side of things

Everything normal for me. Pings same as usual speed 1.5 - 1.7 meg on clicksilver plus.

pings are 17 - 30 on HL2, CSS, DOD: Source and more for me on IOLBB+

Seems very strange? Thats 2 people each with Clicksilver+ and IOLBB+ and both have conflicting service preformances. Well my service is still very poor so i'll wait till Monday morning and give Esat a phone call since emails dont seem to have any affect.

Can people please post their geographic location aswell?

On Clicksilver (Basic 1mb package) in Carrigaline, Co.Cork exchange. My speeds are down to ~300-450kbps and pings are over 200ms.

Stephen

excellent description !

TRaceRT's and ping see if it a CLicksilver or Interweb problem !!

pos them up !

all ping Boards.ie and trcrt Boards.ie

Stephen

No need to be so condescending. Its not an "interweb" problem. The high pings start at the first hop on UTV's network.

Hey I'm on the Dennehys Cross Exchange in Cork. With IOLBB+ 2mb connection. Currently 590kpbs preformance according to IrishBroadbandSpeedTest. My Latency never drops under 170ms pinging clarity.jolt.co.uk. Good innit :eek:

Stephen

Pings seem to be back to normal. But for how long?

I'm off to Metro myself (well assuming the LOS test passes )

lots of posts like this on their newsgroup. The only response from UTV was who to send your cancellation mail to - not even an attempt to persuade people to stay :rolleyes:
