    Its grand now back to 4-5mb download and 1-2mb upload. Since it was down a few hours maybe everybody got on it when it came back on.

    8 disconnects/reconnects to reply to this thread. If it is not fixed by tomorrow i will request a refund and take my custom elsewhere. Worst than the service i had with three in 2006/7


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 343 ✭✭chris2008x


    Today still the same again. Speed has dropped now from 3-4mb to 1996 Albanian dial up

    i had issues in Cork today with 3G also...had similar issues last week. Hmm.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 343 ✭✭chris2008x


    I must say it is unusual they haven't fixed it yet normally disruptions never go past 24hrs. Best of luck with yours BArra. Tonight I'm searching around for another provider because they seem to be doing nothing to resolve the issues.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 343 ✭✭chris2008x


    Still the same heard nothing from tech support was told it was been fixed

    Hi Mark
    there was an issue Friday with coverage to some of Dublin area. This should have been resolved completely by Saturday. If you continue to experience this issue please PM me your tel number and 2 or 3 examples of dropped numbers. I will have this investigated.

    Hi chris2008x,

    I have sent you a PM on the 5th in regard to this issue. Have you received this. My apologies that this issue is still ongoing for you.

    Since i cant send pics through PM have to respond in the forum. And that's how bad 2G is in my area makes dial up look like upc so choosing 2G only is literally telling me to go back in time to 1991. Look all these silly tips the call centre is giving like reinstalling it. Did never worked. Wiping a perfectly clean sim card. Telling me it is a virus (so McAfee owned by Intel one of the biggest companies in the world is s**t and someone with no experience in this field from a call centre is right?). Telling me to call meteor.

    How easy it is just to send someone out to the mast in Castle Avenue and check it. Same is happening to my sister on Meteor so it is obviously a network problem. Service past 2 weeks makes 3 broadband look perfect.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 343 ✭✭chris2008x


    To add and 3 disconnects/reconnects later to post this. The signal has gone down to two bars was always full coverage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,129 ✭✭✭kirving


    To be fair, McAfee IS sh1t. First thing I did was uninstall it when it came bundled with a Dell I bought.

    Anyway, I too have been having intermittent(sp?) issues with Meteor 3G over the past week or so. Specifically around DIT Bolton St, Dublin 1 if it's of any help. Phone shows full 3.5G signal, but won't connect.

    No point throwing a wobbler Chris. It's easier to help someone who gives a clear outline of the problem.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 343 ✭✭chris2008x


    Two weeks today and still not fixed they are hanging up on every call now too. **** customer care and i will never do anymore business with emobile/meteor/eircom ever again

    I sent a query to emobile about my poxy mobile broadband service and it cutting out every night, i simply wanted to know what error 101 meant (conection reset, why?) and how to fix it and here's what they e-mailed back.

    · When did the problem first start?
    · The nature of the problems e.g. inability to able or receive calls, bad quality of call, call dropping during conversation, failure when sending SMS's
    · What specific locations do you experience network coverage issues in, including whether you are indoors or outdoors at the time
    · How many signal bars does your handset display when you have problems
    · Do you experience the same problems when you put your SIM card into another eMobile handset? If you have not tried this can you please do so
    · Do you experience the same problems when you put a different eMobile SIM card your handset? If you have not tried this can you please do so
    ·How far away from the affected area do you need to travel before coverage return
    What error message do you receive when you try to make calls or send text messages?
    Are there other eMobile customers in the area with the same issue?
    Driving Directions down to street level.
    Does the issue affect indoor and outdoor coverage?
    Can you forward 3 examples of dropped calls, texts or broadband connections including dates, time and number that you made within the past 24 hours? (Please note that without these 3 examples we cannot forward your issue to the Technical department)

    do i need to elucidate whats wrong with this?

    Hi beltenebros171,

    Sorry to hear you are having issues with your broadband. Could you advise how long you are having this issue and also what browser you were using when you got the above error message.

    Signed up to eMobile yesterday on a 30 day SIM and data performance is quite frankly abysmal. Any idea's what's going on? Anecdotes here suggest that this issue has been going on for a few weeks now and affects eMobile and Meteor. If this isn't sorted pronto I'll be switching again very soon.....:o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 343 ✭✭chris2008x


    Up until the 28th was a great network 4mb down 2mb upload

    No idea but 21 days of constantly having to disconnect/reconnect and stupid excuses. You should give the 30 day notice right now and get out of the contract


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,142 ✭✭✭shamwari


    I have a 7 day cooling off period which expires next week. I'll make a call decision on it over the weekend...:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,036 ✭✭✭BArra


    ive noticed websites wont load, and when you go to reload they show up, periodically

    happens quite a lot, presume this is the issue you guys are on about with 3G dropping and coming back?

    Tried it with a brand new modem as suggested in pm. Still the same and my sister who is with meteor 3 miles away on the same mast is having the same problem as well as my neighbour. Its either contention or a network problem


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 343 ✭✭chris2008x


    Seems to be fixed now after 30 days. Will monitor it for the next few days speed tests etc but hopefully it is sorted now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 343 ✭✭chris2008x


    Spoke too soon ****ed up again now. After 30 days you would think they would have fixed it.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,242 ✭✭✭✭jake is right


    How long more are we going to have this totally unacceptable "service"? During the last ten days, I have had no data for 90% of the time. The last 24 hours was OK for two hours, no more !
    As regards your customer service; it just doesn't exist.......phone is never answered. Calling in to one of your shops is also a waste of time. Just told "we are having a lot of this type of problem at the moment, sorry". Is there any light at the end of the tunnel?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 343 ✭✭chris2008x


    This still hasn't been put right
