Net Connection Problems This Morning?

Biggins

I know this should be in the PC section normally but I think its important to people here too who more frequent this section by various connection means.

This morning a lot of sites in Ireland (and it seems, outside Ireland) is inaccessible for some reason.

From Independent.ie to even yahoo.ie and .com sites - all are having intermittent problems.
Even MSN Messenger is giving connection grief.

Vodafone say they are aware of the problem across Ireland.

If you think its is just your pc - chances are its not a fault this morning just to you.

Chrome and adobe flash have issued updates. These might (I say "might!") be the source of the problem for some company websites.

If your able to read this message on your mobile phone, I post the above just to reassure you - your not on your own with this problem.

Reminds me of "I am legend"

You are not alone out there!! :P

Source?

Users reporting issues here already

Could be their DNS. Change your DNS to openDNS.

The Adobe update is to stop an exploit in flash which was being used for keyloggers.

I contacted Vodafone myself (I can't even connect to my own professional business websites) and other users whom I do business with.
All are reporting similar problems and have been told that this very unusual problem is across the net in Ireland this morning.

Intermitted problems here alright (Eircom)

It must be only across Vodafone as those sites work fine for me.

Change to openDNS then check your connection.

So threads in the PC forum aren't important?

Not a problem here. Could just be Vodafone.

There is already a bigger thread in broadband about this.

Please - of course they are. Lets not go there. Its not needed.

This section is more frequented by folk and they log into here more so by various devices.
'Nuff said by me.

I am finding it is not just Irish sites that are inaccessible (on Eircom - restarted router etc etc)

Thanks for posting this thread.

I know you post in jest but some of us are trying to run net services as well.

Here is the link to take you direct to the Broadband section of boards.ie: http://boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=259
Many are having the same problem, across Irish net service providers and alternative modem make users.

So let me get this straight, your on vodafone who can't even keep the internet running & are planning to enfore stricter guidelines on it's users to cut file sharing on behalf of companies who claim to be losing out on money when the irish record association is running record high profits...

Why would you stay in such a terrible relationship?

It's like you're going out with an undependable liar who has no respect for you & plans to get stricter with you in the future...

i had problems this morning

UPC is my ISP, so these type of problems are an almost daily occurance.

No big deal really, as you get used to it after the first year or so.

it just cut out for me as well about 11pm last night as well. seems to be back today.
don't worry, though. o2 have a good enough service. been with them for about a year now.

Biggins

I've gotten reports of it still ongoing in a number of areas. Back for a few hours then gone again, then back...

Its happened to myself a few times today. It must be peeing off a great number of personal and business people. Its effected the ability to use emailing applications as well.
Very strange indeed...

RolandIRL

in the year my brother (and now me) have been with o2, the only incident i can remember where i had no service was last month about the 27th may when something happened but they fixed it quick enough. whether last night's outage is related to that, i don't know

zonEEE

was doing it this morn for me to, seems to be grand now. Also on vodafone

..Brian..

Vodafone had a nationwide DNS issue this morning from about 8:30 till 11:00am, all working again now tho.

Biggins

At the end of the day, all the rest (who are leasing lines off Eircom) are using established Eircom lines so I suspect the source of the problem may be come from one original reason/source!
..I could be wrong.

ScumLord

No problems here at work with digiweb (Galway). Have Vodafone at home, it was dodgy at lunch but that's nothing new, couldn't get the RTE player to load for a good while and allot of the time if the page does load it seems to be missing it's CSS styling. That happen all the time though.

Biggins

I have had problems all day and currently still experiencing them.

Its on/off - speeds desperately VERY slow (paying for their top service!).
Its so bad its fcuking crazy.

My internet is functioning as expected.
