Gu3rr1lla

Keep getting 'Page Load Errors'. anyone else having this problem?

psycho-hope

yep getting them here too :mad:

Rebel021

This is a joke
speeds are all over the place, took ages to get here

greatgoal

same here,getting a regular thing now,getting really pissed off at this stage.

Gonzo

same crap as last week:( websites either not working or responding and the ones that do work take about 4 refresh's to appear and take forever to load.

PhoenixRising

Me too. The service has been really ****ty lately but it's completely down now. Using O2 Edge/3G via my phone to my laptop to post this now.

Doodlebug

Yeah happening here in Limerick too - seems like a gateway/proxy server issue I think? Because Boards.ie is OK (although it's adserver cannot be reached) but can't get to Google half the time!

CrowdedHouse

Might be causing a DNS problem too.

I changed my router to opendns settings 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

Improved things greatly although I couldn't get onto eircom sites

Using DNS server 159.134.237.6 works as well.

Thank you, much better.

€irCON still rubbish I see..

robinph

Cannot get online at all this evening myself. Well the router claims that it is connected, but that is about it.

Yakuza

Yep, having similar issues here (Dublin). Couldn't access my emails on eircom's servers earlier, and now web browsing is very slow.

Darthirishguy

Same prob, time to say farewell to Eircom I think

...then I went and changed to these and I'm on again.

Thank you, and thanks to Three as well for giving me an alternative way of finding these things out when eircom brakes stuff.

I set my DNS on my 3347 to 159.134.237.6 and 208.67.222.222 and it seems to be much better now.

Yep its all over the shop in south tipp aswell. they really should get the finger out as its happening on and off since last week

PaddyTheNth

Same here in north cork, utter ****e. suspected it was their DNS servers, glad to see changing DNS helps. They had the same rubbish last week.

mukki

Ditto. At least it's working now.

Dingatron

2-3 problems in the last 3 years I've been with them. Things happen and I'm sure they'll be taking steps to ensure it is fixed properly. Working in support I could easily live with those stats.

MagicMarker

I thought it was only me!!!

How long has this been happening for everyone else? I've been having problems intermittently for weeks!! Seriously thinking of moving!

Max Power1

Thank God, I thought it was just me, and I was going mad, I just restarted my laptop and seems to be going ok now, but I bet not for long
