    No it wasn't.

    You probably go to websites via Google....and Google was down for a few minutes.

    You could consider using another search engine....

    UPC was very very slow there for the last 25 minutes as well, thought it was going to die.

    Eircom was down and my 3G wasn't working either. I'm with 3. Did something big happen.
    Is this the big one? The apocalypse?

    Different providers probably due to Eircom just reselling their 'service' to everyone

    I've got Vodafone Home Broadband and it was down for about 20-30 minutes , i wasn't too bothered till I got my phone out of my pocket which is on meteor , and no reception from it either . And I normally get around 5mbs . Calls and texts but no 3G 😯 It's gone back to normal now but what caused it all to crash ? And not only that but the house and area I've been living in , we have never had a power outage in over 5 years , but in the last day , the power has cut out 3 times ???
