[OUTAGE] Eircom broadband down in Southeast

SV

Anyone else with the usual problems? Bloody eircom.

Carlow area.
Connecting to dsl but not the internet itself. Grr

I heard on the news earlier about an exchange fault in the Waterford area which is having knock-on effects in surrounding areas. Could be that.

Baneblade

They have had problems with exchanges that connect into their waterford server today

you can check for updates here

Mine connects through waterford. Well it's nice to have some confirmation, thanks

Mine's still down after a full 24 hours - the helphone bod reckoned it might be Monday before full use is restored
Using a crappy old dialup modem for now, which is a right pita.
South Tipp area, so a cow's probably rammed a microwave pole with the dish on top.

SV

Back up in Carlow.
Not sure what time it came back.

sutty

I'm on Digiwebs DSL, and its been down since Friday Mid day. Damn you Eircom still wrecking my DSL and I dont even pay you for the pleasure now.



I'm in Kilkenny, but going through a Carlow based Exchange I think.

Dan Jaman

Mine came back up at 04.45 this morning, according to the router log. Then went off again, but back up now. Hope it stays that way.
I'm keeping the old modem all plugged in for now, just in case.

exspes

i got mine back this morning, i'm with vodafone and they said something about 'the password wasn't put in for a server....but we dont know which server' a very irish way to run a broadband company :P also said that '20,000 people are effected' not sure how real any of that is but still....thought i'd share

Vodafone broadband down in Kilkenny still. Eircom twitter team off for the weekend. Wait till eircom go properly bankrupt and then what will happen?

ireland will have no broadband except for upc and wifi stuff :P

ashleey

Up and running here in kilkenny now. Thank you Eircom engineers for working on a Saturday.

Where will the network that feeds the wifi hotspots come from when eircom are dead and buried? UPC only have cable to handful of towns/cities. We will all be using midband dongles like they do in Namibia.

exspes

does anyone actually have a list of what towns and cities upc provide for and any upcoming ones, i remember when eircom switched to 24 meg there was a clear list of all the exchanges being updated with the ADSL2+

Dilbert75

back in New Ross within the last hour or so

There are maps on UPC showing upgrade areas in Dublin.

Though there are areas with BB that the UPC maps don't show.

Ring UPC.

It's basically the main cities and some larger towns.

eiei0

Still down in Kildare town are the even trying to fix it ???

exspes

would be really nice to see UPC go country wide and give eircon a run for their money. some actually competition instead of eircom resold.

jmcc

Anyone else back up but without public IP subnets and just router IP only?

Regards...jmcc

UTV connection was down yesterday evening, backup this morning but went down again but now back up again.

Believe parents Perlico connection is still down, least it was around 2pm as they called me looking for tech support

looksee

Eircom connection in Tramore, haven't had any problems, and don't usually. Probably Eircom is a bit expensive but I have found it completely reliable.

pm.

monasterevin exchange really bad parents dl speed is ok but ping is over 1200

kdobey

Still dead in Newbridge since some time early Friday morning.

eircom use a secret component in their exchanges known only as 'spiders webs and fairy dust' sometimes the pixies that put it in get it right but more often than not they don't :P i had a single eircom bb connection for about...7 years, consistantly updated from 512kb to 24mb and i always had the same problems with it no matter how many times they said they'd fixed it. i dont use it anymore (home house) but any time i do it goes down frequently, i'd be amazed if it worked for 24 hours continuously since they updated to 'ngb'

I'm with Vodafone (formerly BT, switched whether I wanted to or not.)

Mine went off yesterday (Fri) evening around 6pm and has only just now (about 20 mins ago) come back on.

I heard on news yesterday afternoon that BB in parts of Wicklow, Kildare and Offaly were down and eircom were working to fix it asap.

Rang Vodafone 1907 this afternoon and they had recorded message on Tech Support line saying "regions" of Wexford, Waterford, Wicklow, Kildare, Arklow, Gorey and Courtown Harbour were having problems and that engineers were working on it. (Don't know if they meant Counties WX, WD, WW, KE and towns of Arklow, Gorey etc or all metioned were towns)

I was w/out for just over 24 hrs. Sounds crazy to me for it to be going off and on all over the place!

I hope whoever is at "ground zero" of the problem has it sorted. I had serious stuff I needed to do today!

We'll really lure big corporations to come here with this sort of service, eh? roight.

My neighbours, one closer n one otherwise of me from the cleariestown, Wexford exchange with eircom n VF now have bb back. I don't. Connects to router but not to internet. Like this since yesterday morning. Tried all the usual steps. IBB say it is connecting to the local exchange but is not connecting from there and my routing from there could be different to neighbours. They say 20k customers out yesterday now down to 8k. No ETA. Using phone for this. Will check back here if anyone has an update please post. Thx. I

On dial up at the mo, Ill manage on that for now. 75c per hour which aint too bad. Browsing not too bad with dial up even though Im used to the 7mb connection (Now I remember why I got broadband). Neighbour right across the road has his back since late last night.

_John C

I retract my statment "Browsing not too bad with dial up".

Its starting to do me head in. But at least I have internet access.

Anyone know what happened in Waterford? I called support today and the support guy said that they have to replace alot of cards in the exchanges. What would cause "alot of cards" to fail ???

exspes

power spike maybe? loose wiring maybe? what i find insane is that they're gonna send you and me and everyone our bills next month like it was no big deal, 'um no it was, please remove 1/30th of my bill for every day my internet was off'

jmcc

Well DSL is back here in Waterford, public IPs have reappeared too. One hell of a few days though.
