08-02-2002 4:27am#1I was just talking to a mate of mine today about the quality of net connections as of late i was just wondering if this is a nationwice problem ?.Firstly my m8 lives 30 miles away and uses a different isp thurles i think he said i usaly connect to cashel both these connection have gone to the dogs lately.Due to Eircoms policy of not letting me send E-mails through my ocean connection i can hardly send an E-mail before 12pm.I know i should get another account somewhere but id probably forget the address
.If connections have gone tits up why ?. could it be due to upgrading as it surely couldnt be that a lot of people use the internet these days coz eircom has told us that there is no intrest in this new fagled stuff ?.
Huuum very perplexing

Worse
Imagine something that you love using suddently changing in such a way beyond your control that it simply isn't enjoyable to use anymore, and gives such a negative feedback that you never want to use it again.
Imagine had that been a first time user in my place .. they'd call the internet a pile of steaming sh*t and wash their hands of it very quickly.0 -

Exact same problem here too even on ISDN
I know in the past when I had a 56k connection that when it rained it used to affect my connection rather badly. We have had a lot of bad rain lately, would that be affecting everyon's connections? 0 -

I did have ISDN until a few weeks ago come to think of it i was having trouble connecting on that tooTowards the end.My only consolation is that i am no longer being driven into poverty buy the isdn charges and by all accounts i got out just in time.Only my opinion but if i was paying for ISDN id be onto Eircom like a shot hell if they are going to F**** you for dareing to want a half decent connection the very least they could do is provide what they promise.Thats a point normal phone lines are there for voice (so eircom says)but surely ISDN is mainly for net access so they dont have a get out of it clause.So lads demand your rights tell em straight FIX its your obligation.YOU TIGHT FISTED "$£%%£&$&%^*%£&(*& £%£%$%£$%£$%$£$%&*()()_$£"" MONKEY PUKES
the last part is optional

Noticed it aswell on my 56k. Although I've never in my life experienced anything along the lines of connection dropping/hanging, must be just you suckers
and i hope you never do experience it. And your right, we are suckers for putting up with it :mad: But what's the use in fighting it 
Eircom just ignore / fobb off / and lie. I just have a hunch that when the weather gets better so will the connections. Eircom have soooooooooo much copper above ground that they still use it's a wonder the whole country just didnt come to a standstill when it snowed LOL 0 -
