IrishBroadband IBB 3 Rock mast down again

Tazz T

Slower than dial up for all weekend to 3Rock. C'mon NTL - get your ass down Pearse St, so I get rid of this shower of cowboys.

By the way where have all the ibb techies gone there used to be at least 2 on here. I seem to recall old titan i could be wrong....

They were not IBB techs they were IBB higher up lads. But the going got tough so the tough got going and I think one of them left IBB. Not sure about that though.

Anybody on ripwave 3rock getting really really slow connection the last few days? I called them up and they said I might have spyware :-)

I don't know what IBB is messing around with WiMAZ or something else but they've busted my connection again. It's been a whole week now of 40% packet loss and crawling slower than dial up.

Anybody else with the same issue on 3 Rock in the past week?

Yep, exact same situation. Absolute joke.

You should have told them the connection was far too slow for spyware to download!;)

They have often tried to use the Spy ware excuse to FOB people off. Is there any parts of the IBB network not having problem atm?

Spywayre !!! that's the first I hear about this one. What a load of bull. Did they even tried to give you some advice about the spyware removal? I bet they didn't.

Just to slap it back in their face, download Microsoft's and Ad-Aware Anti-spywares. I use them both. They're free and should detect anything nasty on your machine. Clean/Quarantine anything they detect and see if you still have the same problem. Then ring the feckers back.

IBB never tried that argument with me.

The irony of that is with the current state of the connections downloading programs is not possible.

Any one notice an improvements in the last 24-48 hours?

uteotw

na... nothing improved... it could even get worse.... well above 40% packet loss... flirting with 50%.

Got told quite specificaly what my problem was when on the phone with support yesterday around lunch time. Then yesterday evening I receive an email telliing me something completly different about my issue!

spooky donkey

Well im still getting realy bad packet loss but my dload speeds got a bit better im at the 60kb mark a lot of the time now.

The major IBB network outage seemed to have resolved my issue.
They "must" have done some major upgrade/maintenance.
Let's see how long it will last.
