Vodafone Home Broadband

TANGLEWOOD

Recently changed to Vodafone 3mb. Initially was working great. Then all of a sudden the broadband wouldn't work. For example didn't have broadband all last nite and most of the today. Only about an hour ago was going to turn off my laptop I notice there was broadband. No idea why this is happening. One minute it can be there and the next minute its not.

Also even when I've had a connection and have been able to get into other websites, on occasions I can't get into the Vodafone website nor can I send mail but I can receive mail. I thought maybe the server was down but this was not case. Just can't make sense as to why this would happen.

Anybody any ideas. Disappointed with the service. Had no problems with Eircom bar the glitches they were having recently. In fact when another laptop is plugged in with lan its fine and in the next room you can't pick up on another laptop nor on mobile phone with wi fi. This just isn't good enough. Great price but is it the old cliche you get what you pay for!!!

Is anybody else having these problems?

vodafone's website seems very slow some evenings alright, wouldn't think its your bb. ALso the slow BB might be just happening 1 night, occurs the odd time. If its reoccuring, I'd say give them a shout and let it be their problem, could be Eircom playing around for no reason too. Have VF BB and it works a dream, always getting my 2.7Mb from 3Mb connection.

Thanks for your quick reply. But unfortunately its not just slow, I'm getting no access to the broadband at times. No access all day and all evening up until bout an hour ago. It was pure chance that I saw that I was connected and it's working fine. But most likely I'll turn it on tomorrow and have no access again. Thought maybe a router problem although I'm only 25 feet away from the router with one wall between me and it. Anyway we'll see what happens tomorrow.

What outgoing mail server are you using?

I signed up to vodafone at home with calls and broadband about a month ago.

My UPTO 7mb connection is constant at 4.3 with a constant .4 upload.

Not to bad and has been 100% reliable so far.....

Hi. Thansk for reply. I am using mail.vodafone.ie. It is actually working perfect now so it is a hit and miss over the last few days as to whether it's going to work. I'm just not when I turn on computer whether I'm going to access to Broadband which unfortunate.

Anyone know what the contention ratio is for the various VF BB packages? Can't findit on their website.
