Im with bt in sligo and getting ping of 500 plus, normally 30 to 40. Something is wrong at the exchange.

Im in Kildare but routed via Limerick.
I normally ping 30-50 ingame, getting 400-500 atm.

When i try ping -t www.eircom.net i ping @ 10-12 so its deffo only an issue crossing the water so to speak.

e-Mo0? · 03-08-2009 6:58pm

Yeah same here in Kildare, same in Blanc.

Ping www.eircom.net get in the 20's
Ping www.boards.ie get in the 400's

Think something is wrong :P

Someone else I know on the southside is getting weirdly low pings.

*Edit*
Just sorted itself!

AlmightyCushion · 03-08-2009 7:12pm

I'm in Sligo and getting pings of over 200ms

PogMoThoin · 03-08-2009 7:27pm

Seems to be fixed now

Dcully · 03-08-2009 7:30pm

Yes back to normal now.

Doomofman · 03-08-2009 7:37pm

Speed gone crap in north dublin... stuff failing to load all over the place

Thrill · 03-08-2009 7:45pm

Having some problems in the last few minutes here in cork.

dor83 · 03-08-2009 7:47pm

I've been having the same problems for a few mins too in Meath.

jumpguy · 03-08-2009 7:48pm

Gone dicky again, DNS servers are the cause again. Switched to OpenDNS, all is good now.

Ricardfred · 03-08-2009 7:51pm

Same here. In Cork as well.

Doomofman · 03-08-2009 7:52pm

Just switched to OpenDNS myself.. Will stick with it until it starts acting up on me which it has a tendency to do... I wish Eircom would tell us about this BEFORE they do it rather than a crappy apology email weeks after...

Thrill · 03-08-2009 7:56pm

Done the old opendns switch also. I think I'll stick with it for a while as well.

tvnutz · 03-08-2009 7:56pm

This is a disgrace.When it was happening about 2 weeks ago they were claiming some nonsense and sent out a lame apology letter,yet it is still happening. How long before they fix it for good? What are we paying for? Can we expect this to happen every few weeks for a few days where we can't access certain pages. I need access to my e-mail for important things like college/work etc yet I can't get access at all. Its a joke.

I'm in North Dublin and it's the same here. Pages slow or not loading at all.:mad:

The Black Oil · 03-08-2009 8:09pm

Patchy or just plain crap as with other North Dublin posters. Bah!

daywalker · 03-08-2009 8:15pm

Same in Waterford, just switched to OpenDNS settings as well

Would there be anyone actually in Eircom doing anything especially considering its after business hours and a bank holiday as well, I would think its just automatics in control with an engineer on call?

eircom speed gone slow, sligo area?
