    My eircom was down again yesterday - does anybody know is this the same problem that has been there the past few days or has that fully cleared.

    The reason i ask is that I have recently changed phone and internet service to Vodafone. Now I presumed that my eircom internet account would simply transfer over and I would have to do nothing but I have not received a new modem or anything - would eircom have just cut me off.

    THansk for the help.

    The transfer over is seemless, its settings up your Eircom router with a different username and password (the Eircom router is fine).

    Do the following. On your computer, open up your web browser and:

    Go to http://192.168.1.254/ > Expert Mode > Yes Enter Expert Mode > Configure > Connection

    Now in the middle of the page, there is 3 options for username, password and confirm password. You need to contact Vodafone to find out these details, enter them correctly and click Save and Restart. If you did this correctly, the red Internet light on the Netopia will turn green and you will be online.
