Eircom routing messed up tonight??

Zith

Is Eircom worse than usual for anyone tonight? My connection is normally congested to hell in the evenings (3MB old school DSL) but tonight seems exceptionally bad. I just had no problem going to google.ie and here to boards but a few addresses further afield just sit there waiting or transferring with nothing actually coming up eventually timing out, for example the microsoft.com site or steampowered.com

[Edit]
Must have been just me so. Here are the drops since around 21:50 last night. Note the router time couldn't update itself from the eircom NTP servers either. I chopped out some uPnP entries also. Each time you see "unable to resolve" means the connection has gone down again. Then "using channel XX" means it's back up.

Apologies for replying to myself. Rang eircom again tonight and they say they see a fault on the line. Had rang last night but my router was blamed (Billion 7800DXL great yolk!). So been running the D1000 since last night with same drops as before. Log above is with D1000.
So should get an engineer visit in the next few days to sort it.
