ShakyJ

Yeah was playing playstation and it just lost connection

Nemeses

I'm asking on behalf of a friend. We were playing UT. So this is a countrywide issue? ouch..

Jonathan

Down nationwide it would appear.

roast

Yep, down for several of us who were playing on my UT server. What a shame.

except me

In Dublin too - was playing Starcraft and all the lights on my router flashed and the game crashed. Thought it was just me. Had to restate pc. Could be a major outage :-/

ShakyJ

If if is maintenance they should be warning customers!

JohnK

Down in Cork too, phones gone as well but the TV is working.

Arciphel

That would make them competent!

Arciphel

My phone is working ...

ShakyJ

I was only onto them today complaining about my broadband speeds. They are starting to do my head in.

rolion

dublin upc too..
irish bband too...
O2 mobile too...

it looks like inex or ie dns were offline for more than half hour.

conjamuk

Down in Maynooth.

Me too - as of about 0017 my UPC connection in Dublin 6 cannot connect, giving DHCP/Access Denied errors.

Thor

Yeah, In dundrum all lights on but not getting an ip. Thanks the lord for my iPhone and 3G connection.

Nollog

Ah, I thought it was just my router.

Windows told me it's a DNS problem.

roast

Looks like its being worked on anyway, modem just resynced by itself. Still not online though.

Same here in Cork, UPC and O2 (prepaid) are down for me.
At least I've Got a 3 billpay phone + USB cable + PC = internets

I'm seeing Status:Access Denied on my Cable modem. (You can check you're own status http:\\192.168.100.1 )
Their MAC auth servers might be down or it might have something to do with the 100Mb rollout. Here's hoping for 100Mb in Cork tomorrow

EDIT:

Yay It's back. Their DNS doesnt seem to be working though. Using Google's openDNS IP 8.8.8.8 works fine

roast

Back up now.

Nollog

Mine's back.

Fo' shizzle.

Anyone else up for a game of Unreal Tournament 99?

lesserspottedchloe

yup-mine down there for about half an hour-back now!

Thor

Okay, I think its safe to say everyones is back on.

My guess is the guy working in upc HQ hit the red button!!!

the_law

Some reports of O2 / IBB going down also... so perhaps it's not just UPC. I'm sure we'll find out tomorrow.

Glad I opted for the Desire and its instant hotspot...

down i waterford hour 10mins some joke

Insect Overlord

Lost my connection in Limerick just after midnight, the girlfriend lost hers in Dublin at the same time. Both of us on UPC. Came back an hour later though.

roast

Planning on switching to the 100mb UPC connection tomorrow. This outage doesn't phase me though. The amount of times that UPC's network has outages is miniscule, compared to other providers. I've been with UPC about 3 years now, and from a BB point of view, I've only experienced minor problems about 3/4 times.

I second that, Infact, my connection in the past 4 years has only gone about 3/4 times.

Also looking forward to the 100mb line, They are upgraded the lines in my estate at the moment. Should be done by may!!

Thats going to be a fun day!!

I agree.

upc went down here in swords dublin at 12:00 or there abouts and came back on at exactly 1:25 it messed my work up argggg.

hey UPC DARREN whats going on ? did a meteorite hit upc ?

stuckin

Went down for me as well, naturally when it happened I went ballistic, but in all fairness, it went down, they resolved it in just over an hour despite it being midnight. I rarely have an outage and when I do, I'm furious, once its back as long as it was quick, I don't mind because I know 100% uptime is not feasible

thats correct. they should. must have been a satt problem. at least i know now that the problem wasn't primerily swords again of which we have had in the past nothing but problems so thats ok.

I was on skype with my nephew last night when both of our UPC connections went down, firefox froze,xfire and irc disconnected,yet the video call we were having wasn't affected. I'm curious as to how this was possible. I don't think a new call to another contact would have been possible, because the Skype icon was in the connect mode, but yet the call quality wasn't affected at all.
Not a complaint btw, UPC have been A1 since I changed.
