    Hi all, 

    I have spoken with our support team and they have confirmed there was an issue from Friday afternoon until this morning. You should all be able to access the service again now. 

    Boards.ie are online Monday - Friday until 5pm, however, Facebook/Twitter and online chat are open weekends. 

    Apologies for all inconvenience caused. 

    Thanks 

    Tracey

    eir.ie is working for me?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 46,545 ✭✭✭✭muffler


    Just after logging in there so its working ok for me today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,965 ✭✭✭JDxtra


    Eir has to be one of the most dysfunctional companies I have come across. Recently, the My Eir web site was offline for 3 days. Customer Care and the "reps" on here claimed it was working just fine. Customers had to wait until the IT folks rocked in on Monday morning and pressed the restart button.

    Now today, every Eir web site is offline. Read through the comments on Twitter about it - Eir literally haven't a clue. They seem to think that if their web site is accessible internally on their network then there is no problem.

    Check all the "down for my" type web sites and anyone can quickly see that Eir.ie and all related sites are offline!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,581 ✭✭✭greasepalm


    Yes down here no emails .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,206 ✭✭✭✭whelan2


    Not working here either

    Down for me as well this morning. Cannot access the webmail since yesterday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 753 ✭✭✭Timfy


    With something as major as a complete loss of online services to many customers, I would have imagined a faster response by the online team...

    No trees were harmed in the posting of this message, however a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

    At least some kind of notification page, rather than letting it fail entirely. But it is still completely dead, both the main eir site and the webmail.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,985 ✭✭✭beachhead


    Down here today and yesterday


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,206 ✭✭✭✭whelan2


    Working now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 833 ✭✭✭westgolf


    Webmail gone for me since lunchtime yesterday, both on mobile and desktop. Live chat not accessible, support page not operating.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,965 ✭✭✭JDxtra


    The problem is that for some people it is working, for others it is not. Sounds like they have a DNS or routing issue. Very amateur - a telco of this size should not make mistakes like this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,206 ✭✭✭✭whelan2


    Working for me now. Wasn't earlier


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,127 ✭✭✭✭Gael23

    I can get through on my mobile, but not on my laptop.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,127 ✭✭✭✭Gael23


    Came back for a while now it’s gone again.

    Can you all try clear your cache and see if this resolves the issue for. We have reports that this has worked for some customers. 

    Thanks 

    Tracey 


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,127 ✭✭✭✭Gael23


    Mobile site appears to be working but nothing else as Bojill says.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,965 ✭✭✭JDxtra


    Hi Tracey. It is definitely NOT working. I have tested via Virgin Media and Vodafone mobile connections. You have an internal network issue blocking the traffic. See attached screenshots.

    Please forward to your IT dept. - ask them to check what is happening at 86.43.242.22.

    Started working again. So, whatever was done in the last few minutes resolved the issue. Tested over Virgin and Vodafone connections.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71 ✭✭Aidan78

    Bloody annoying!!!

    It was partly working for me for a while. I could access webmail, and still can. 

    However, if I could access eir.ie (which I no longer can), it failed to connect to my account (churning on "loading account details" for a long time without success). Anyway, back to not getting anything from eir.ie!

    ...and it's gone again. I give up helping here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 144 ✭✭weshtawake


    What an absolute joke! Webmail comes back teasingly for an hour and then blows up again - WTF is going on??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,257 ✭✭✭Yggr of Asgard


    It looks to wherever they decided to root http://www.eir.ie to is not working.

    If you need to access your account you can use https://my.eir.ie/ which works perfectly fine (at least for me).

    It's clear it's a problem of where they decide to route the www requests to as for example next to my.eir the business website still works: https://business.eir.ie/

    I still don't get how they can not simply point their record to a holding page somewhere else with at least an error message, it's simple stuff, sure it will take a while to replicate (hence their tip of clearing the cache) but it's not rocket science. 


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,965 ✭✭✭JDxtra


    The business site is hosted by AWS (no problems there). The residential pages look like they are internally hosted.

    Agree - this is not complicated stuff. The problem was ignored / not noticed internally in Eir for a long time (probably because of routing differences). 


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,257 ✭✭✭Yggr of Asgard


    I thought eir was getting better, I was about to move over my phone to their 19.99€ offer as after testing pre-paid for a while I noticed that in my areas of travel their network is better for 4G than Vodafone and it would save me 15€ a month, but if they can't even do a simple website pointer I'm not so sure anymore.  


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41 Philippe14


    By the way, for the email, it looks like the direct link is webmail.eir.ie.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,127 ✭✭✭✭Gael23


    Is anyone in eir looking into this?

    Possibly nobody in eir can afford a different internet provider / mobile phone provider so they can't replicate it as it's fine from eir network.

    Working at the moment.
