ntlbell

Anyone having problems with IBB tonight?

(not the usuall slowness)

back to dial up woohoo

Blaster99

It went out for me at 00:02 and came back 00:22. I have automatic failover to Eircom ADSL so it doesn't really bother me. In fact, I generally notice a significant speed improvement whenever this happens...

It failed yesterday morning for about twenty minutes as well.

ntlbell

Wish I had dsl to fall back on

Thanks

Blaster99

It just went down again. They're probably doing maintenance.

I look forward to a thread IBB UP! :rolleyes:

ntlbell

so are we up or down? i don't fancy the walk up the stairs for nothing

Well mine completely died but now it's working properly.
Properly as in pages are actually loading straight away as opposed to 10 minutes.

Ping is still a bit crap though.

Same thing keeps happening me. Not going to write a massive post in case its down when I finish...

I noticed the much improved speeds when it came back too, probably just because people have switched it off?

People gone to bed with a pain their backsides i'd say

I dunno even at night (2am - 4am) when you would expect less contention my connection was still next to unusable for the last 16 days or so. I haven't had pages load this fast at all especially not boards which was almost unusable.

Blaster99

It's back again. I haven't seen 12ms pings to boards.ie in a very long time. I'd say a lot of users have been cut off. I'm getting amazing speeds too. Amazing as in the advertised speeds.

All I can say is enjoy it while it lasts! Download away!

3Rock.

I'm half expecting to wake up tomorrow morning and it'll be in a state all over again.

did you guys not get the memo?

Subject: All internet connectivity will be unavailable this Friday 4th Nov 2005 between the hours of 12 midnight and 2am.

Dear Customer,



Due to required maintenance on our network a planned network outage has been scheduled. All internet connectivity will be unavailable this Friday 4th Nov 2005 between the hours of 12 midnight and 2am. Although we have outlined a 2 hour maintenance window it is envisaged that this work will take no longer than 60 minutes.



We apologise for the short notice and any inconvenience that this may cause, but assure you that the work being performed is necessary. We will make every effort to keep downtime to a minimum and would ask that you bear with us while we perform this essential maintenance.



Thank you for your time.



Irish Broadband Customer Services

Was down for almost exactly 1 hour.

MrJoeSoap

Didn't get that no. Hope this "work" has worked miracles and given us some improvement!

Makaveli

Didn't get that either all they send me are invoices.
They never reply to my emails, ever.

Doodee

had 2 downloads going solid at 76Kb/s and one at 40.
It seems to be spiking atm, one second all are going full whack at 180k (On 2 meg line) and then drop to nothing. Oh well

vinks

i didnt have any connection loss in the last 24hrs, though my latency and packet loss problems seem to be less of a problem now, bandwidth is still crap though (in the d16 area which i think traffic is all routed to the same place as the d15 area)

spooky donkey

After it came back I got great speeds up at the 180k mark so I even got to get my email for the first time in 2 weeks. But then it went back to 40k this morning when I got up. Even when I was getting those good speeds down my upload was really bad stil.

sutty

Yeah I went down last night as well after 12ish. But after restarting the radio, it was still the same.. well ok I was getting a HUGH 30kb/s on my 3meg line :rolleyes:

Shame.. I was holding out hope.

arcane99

After 5 weeks, Siac mast back up to speed.
880kbps

How long will this last.

Confidence in IBB is long gone.

Good to know it was planned, and hopefully went towards improving our connections. Though I'm 99% sure I never received that memo.

spooky donkey

I`ll check when I get home today and see if mine is up to speed. I doubt it.

Makaveli

Well as expected it has dropped considerably in speed for me again.
Pages while not as slow to load are still slow and I'm averaging 41KB/s on the 2mb connection. Which is better than my old 6KB/s but it drops in and out when it feels like it.

spooky donkey

And just wait till it hits 6pm tonight and ye will be back to the 6k dloads.

Makaveli

Bah, I don't need to wait it's back down to 15KB/s on torrents and crawling on HTTP yet again.

spooky donkey

What mast are ya on it sounds like a D15 mast, but then it could be 3 rock or the black beer mast.

MrJoeSoap

I'm in Clonsilla and getting 2/3 download and full upload speeds for the first time in AGES. Hurrah!

Punchbowl

I very nearly thrashed the gaff last night cause it was so slow at about 11pm. But low and behold, I'm getting the quickest I've ever got from MY RIPWAVE. What happens after 6 on a Friday to slow things down by the way?
