    eircom broadband problems

    Is anyone else having problems with ericom broadband the last few days?, mine has been running really slow, i've done multiple speed tests at speedtest.net and usually my results are like this.

    Download speed : 2700kbps - 3000kbps
    Upload Speed : 290kbps - 330kbps

    This is what i have been getting the last few days:



    I can't even play my PS3 online with that terrible upload speed, of course, the helpline was un-helpful as most of them are .

    Happened in my parent's house in Donegal for a few days. Then it became even faster than before. Turned out their were futtering about with the sever in Buncrana.
    Did the helpline mention anything about work on the line?

    I suppose all with Eircom have experienced problems on Thursday evening. Apparently the DNS servers had problems.

    Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.

    Our Eircom Broadband was down all day Monday and seems slower ever since it came back!
    The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.

    I changed to Open DNS when the first attacks started happening.

    A move I should've made a long time ago.

    I'm with BT (who I assume use Eircoms infrastructure). Webs been okay. I don't upload or download much ...streaming youtube'd be the extent of it. But for periods stretching to days at a time lately I've found I'm unable to access my many eircom.net emails. Then a glut of them. Then gone again.

    No, they don't. Their phone lines, sure, but that's rarely the problem.

    They use both actually. They've unbundled a small number of Eircom lines, but the vast majority of their DSL services are bitstream, where the handoff doesn't happen until traffic reaches the major exchanges.

    I'd've accept the title with price in the past, but those days are long gone.
