    i agree, the service is good. but i've also been in technical support before and i know sometimes you have to give an answer to a question that you simply cannot answer!

    i guess i am just disappointed in the fact that my broadband works really cool and yet it's not the "full" package as I expected.

    Lads,

    I moved to Metro about 6 weeks ago but still haven't been billed for the first month or the installation.

    I rang up about 2 weeks ago and they said I should receive a bill in the post by around the 15th with the DD being taken this week, but still nothing.

    I don't want a massive bill in January cause their billing department can't bill me on time - had enough of that crap with UTV

    Anyone else had this?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,335 ✭✭✭Cake Fiend


    Turns out I'm on the 4M package. Still running nicely so far - browsing, gaming and VoIP. Irishisptest.com shows 2.7M down, 600K up, but I'm downloading from heanet at a steady 360Kb/s now. Regardless of download rate, latency is very low, gaming is smooth and downloading doesn't have much of an impact on gaming/browsing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,231 ✭✭✭✭Sparky


    i must say the service seems to be holding well for me now, no packetloss that i had previously.
    I havnt been billed yet either but i hope its because of the bad service i had, i too dont want a huge bill of €400 taken i one go.
    And if so i would like to be notified pretty early before they do so, since after christmas the finances dont be as good as usual.

    Yes, I haven't been billed either. Still waiting and I don't know what's going on.

    Does the first month only include the installation or are you billed for installation and monthly subscription? Or is the installation fee waived as part of the special (mine was installed over a month ago)

    On the other hand, my service is not working 100% (Phone still dead) so I will be very unhappy if I am charged in full, unless Digiweb compensate for it in some way (for example waive my installation fee)

    Any of the lads from Digiweb wanna shed some light on this? I will NOT be happy if I get billed for 2 months + installation at once because your billing department can't do its job properly.

    I rang last week and a Deborah (I think) was to call me back but never did & I don't have all day to be calling national numbers at peak rates.

    I'm not in Cork i'm in waterford and the service is working fine but if it was down for 24hrs i'd be so angry. There's no excuse for such a long period of downtime.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭PowerHouseDan

    Thought I'd bring this thread back to the top of the forum again - I've finally had a callout from a couple of technicians.

    After a quick signal check at the connection point for the cable modem (turned out to be an amazingly good "-3" for my digital signal strength) they look at me strangely and say that it really is a very very good signal and that I couldnt be having any trouble with it.

    So I explain that my signal appears to fluctuate wildly, depending on the mood of my modem/receiver/cable/whatever - and they ring up tech support to find out just what's going on.

    There have to be logs of what's going on with my account - I can't ring them 3 times a week for 2/3 months and there not be a single record of what happened on their system ....
    Yet that's exactly what appears to be the case... They're told by the tech on the phone that my modem, and signal, are perfect, and that the problem must be with my own pc.

    However this was ruled out within the first 2 weeks of my having this problem. I tried a second pc, I tried _2_ other operating system on my own pc, and STILL the problem persisted. ffs the support staff know me as soon as they hear me say "Hey there, this is Daniel" - I've spoken to a guy called Ronan more times than I've had hot dinners, and he KNOWS I've been having issues with my connection.

    But because right now, at this very moment in time, my connection appears to be in top form, I must be making it all up, and the onsite techs are told that they can go.
    Oh god I'm so angry right now :/

    My first actual bad experience with Digiweb so far :(
    Sure - the connection's not been perfect, but it's useable, mostly. But not for gaming - no siree...

    When my connection goes tit's up and my pings sky fluctuate wildly out of control, and packetloss hits 20%, again, I'm gonna let rip :/

    I have to say that I agree. Although I'm having a problem at the moment, digiweb has been the best ISP i've had so far.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,231 ✭✭✭✭Sparky


    i must also say my connection has been in top form since the replacment modem and cpu.
    good work lads.

    Plus i also got my 30 euro vouchers :)

    Hey Zoro I was in a similar situation 6 weeks ago and the installers and engineers were stumped, moved dish, new dish new modem, new cable etc. Late that evening when all attempts to improve my service failed, I got a call from support to tell me some caches were cleared and that my service should now be ok, which it was, and has been since, apart from major downtime over xmas:(

    On a different detail CHAZ!! could you please tell me if my phone number will continue to be listed in the 11811 directory and in the phone book, after it's reported to Metro, this is an important detail for me, support don't seem to have any information on the matter as yet, which puzzles me. Could you clear this up, I'm sure it's a concern for others too:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,231 ✭✭✭✭Sparky


    Oh and no big deal at the moment but would chaz or crawler know when my phone should be on, and when im getting a bill?

    *growl*

    No support staff available today - it's sunday after all...
    And my connection has yet again gone to absolute sh*t. Ping spikes ranging from 15ms to 458ms (which is a lot better than it usually is when this happens). 'luckily' there's no packetloss.

    All spikes are occuring on the internal digiweb network - with the 2 nodes between me and the server i'm pinging in question being:
    gi-0-0-61.dub-deg-br2.new.digiweb.ie
    gi-0-2-45.dub-deg-br1.new.digiweb.ie

    My download speed is averaging at roughly 1.3megs, and my upload is 490k.
    Considering I'm on a 3meg/512 connection - that download is unacceptable.

    But of course, there's nothing wrong with my connection whatsoever is there? Of course there's not...
    *pissed*
