IBB - ENTIRE Dublin STILL Down?

Undercoverguy

Hey Guys,

Word has it IBB Baldoyle, Tallaght, Northside SC, Killester and RTE all went down tonight.

Baldoyle : 9.20pm
Northside SC:: 9.25pm
RTE: 10.40pm
Killester: 10.00pm
Tallaght: Various

Any idea why? For some it was a just a DNS problem but once 10pm struck the entire network went down.

All the masts were talking to eachother i was able to trace my way around most of the dublin masts and all replys didnt seam all to bad. Pings and Trace Timas were excellent to Tallaght from Baldoyle... Prob cos i was prob the only one messing around on a Internet free Broadband Network lol

IBB Baldoyles connection is in ****ters.... Tected 20 MAtes on IBB Baldoyle and Northside SC and only 8 are back up and 2 are on and off while the other 10 are still down.

Anyone know what went wrong? Wherever IBB's DNS Servers are hidden had a glitch anyway cos the IBB network of masts seamed grand.

Unless there great master master thats conneected to the DNS went down. I think there 3 tho aint there????

the problems seemed to start at around 6pm last night for me, i didnt even bother trying to use the internet with a packet loss of 25% it was pretty crap as per usual....

Red Alert

Going by what I've read here over the past few months, I'm increasingly thinking that they guy that designed their network should be taken outside and shot. Although I'm inclined to believe that he was told to design it this way by management. If that's the case, they should be shot.

Why anyone would sign up with them, today at least, is beyond me. They're an awful company and they really, really need to go bust. I hope the management lose their asses when that happens.

Seem like the shut down the enitre network last night.
D15 was out and so was Churchtown.

Out in D15 for me too - any news from them on what went wrong ?

Same thing happened the night before too I think ...

Engineers are wokring on a report right now, Noting went wrong with the IBB Network Itself so to speak, Every mast was in normal working order. Just the main exchange went down.... IBB are claiming this was outta their control (passing the book). All the IBB mass pretty much connect to one main exchange through a series of IBB masts. I'll put my money that the main mast the all traffic gets routed through went dead......

Thats means they seriously have to sort of the reduncy plan that should have kicked into action...... But oviously failed.

Sorry - what's fixed your problem ?

uteotw

I had slower than dial-up speed with 40% packet loss for 3 weeks... then general IBB network outage (presumably some upgrade/fix)... then my connection works perfectly again

Ah the old chicken and egg scenario.

On a happier note, an NTL representative rang me this morning and I'm getting my broadband installed on Monday 21st

Well after mine being real bad for 5 weeks this outage seems to have improved mine no end. Im getting up to 220Kb ( some of the time ) downloads and getting up to 170kb ( some of the time ) uploads. I can now use VOIP also but my gaming pings are still terriable. I could not get on to any gaming servers at all for the last 5 weks now I can get on with pings from 120-250. All over the place. So I bring my PC to my brothers and he is on the RTE mast and his pings are 15-50. So do IBB only look after their customers on the RTE mast and not give a sh1t about D15. Well I dont care my contract is almost up and NTL is almost in my area so I know whats going to happen then!

uteotw

careful with the "almost"... NTL was "almost" in my area for 3 years in a row.. then I moved and got IBB. IBB has issues but when it works, it works great. Any issue I've had with them I had to fight to get it resolved but I eventualy did. Keep on emailing, keep on calling.

spooky donkey

Well they are already very close as a lot of estates arround me already have it.
