    Jamestown mast in Meath ?

    Yes, down since Wednesday, just called them and no outlook, they haven't got a clue what is the problem and they are "monitoring" the situation..

    I have been pretty happy with the service, but it being down 3 days is simply not acceptable..

    No, the mast out past Collon in Louth.

    Anybody having problems between 7 and 9pm off Maghera mast?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 725 ✭✭✭Happy_Harry


    Jamestown Mast in Meath was finally solved yesterday morning, but seems quite a few problems around this week..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 167 ✭✭Fatal Except1on


    Anyone on Athy mast getting weird connection blips for a few seconds between 8pm and 12 midnight?

    Waiting for a call back from level 2 support since Saturday. Support seems to be on annual leave.

    Howdy - has your internet come back at all? I've been getting crap speeds for the last couple of days and had Imagine out today and they're telling me I've lost direct line of sight and can't do anything for me - 30 days notice cancellation job. Gutted

    Yes, about 3 complete disconnects per night at this stage.

    Yeah, that and I'm lucky if I can get above 3mb after 6pm. It's a joke of a service, but sadly the only one available.

    Anyone manage to use Voice over WiFi through Imagine. Thinking of switching mobile to Eir for this as signal rubbish in house, but hear you need fixed broadband.

    I use a Vodafone Sure Signal with my imagine and it works fine (not the same thing, but similar)

    On most/all sites latency is low enough that you'd be fine.

    Got this email the other day;
    Important Notice

    Firstly, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your custom, which is extremely important to us. This note contains information relating to some important testing we are planning to carry out on our broadband network that may impact the services we provide to you.

    Imagine are committed to continually ensuring that our broadband network in Regional Ireland offers our customers the best possible service and experience and that modern high-speed broadband continues to be available outside of the major urban centres in Ireland. To this end, periodically we evaluate significant technology upgrades to our network that we believe will bring improved capacity, speed and service to you, our customers, and to ensure that these upgrades perform as expected we need to fully test these prior to wide-scale deployment.

    I am happy to inform you that we have a major upgrade planned in your area in the coming weeks. During this upgrade and the testing process you may notice that at times you receive significantly faster service on our network and at other times you may see some degradation or interruption to the service as we test all of the components of the upgrade. Naturally, we will do everything we can to minimise any negative impact on you and, where we can, we will do our testing outside of the hours when the network is most in demand. We will keep you updated by SMS throughout the testing process.

    While your service may not be negatively impacted at all, If you do notice a change in your service that doesn't improve following our planned outages, you can call our dedicated Network Upgrade Team on 1890 929 033 or 01 437 00 20.

    We apologise for any inconvenience that you might be caused during this period and we thank you for your patience and understanding which will assist us in making your network even better and will help us in ensuring that Regional Ireland continues to get the best possible broadband service - now and in the future.

    Not sure what upgrade work they could possibly be undertaking. Speeds have been great and, since my area is fully covered by Eir FTTH, I doubt they have very many customers left in the area so I don't know why it would be a priority to do upgrades.

    The skeptic in me thinks that the 'upgrades' will turn my service to shít!

    It might be something to do with this Silicon Republic article. Although from your SamKnows posts you're already on the "150Mb" service. The article mentions a 300Mb plan so maybe it has something to do with that.

    If your area is fully available for FTTH, why are you still using Imagine and paying an extra 5 euros per month for a wireless service?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,028 ✭✭✭d31b0y


    It's the extra €2/3 k for ancillary works that are holding me back at the moment.

    And their support number is just ringing out as busy.
    Wouldn’t expect any better from the useless shower of so and so’s!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 946 ✭✭✭XDA


    Same on the Ardagh mast in Longford, looks like their DNS service is borked - i changed my DNS servers in ip properties to the google dns servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and all working fine after that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,133 ✭✭✭deadl0ck


    There is noting on twitter but they have posted this on their Facebook page:
    Customer Notice - Imagine network engineers have identified a fault which is affecting a small percentage of customers in differing regional sites. Our engineers are working hard to resolve this fault quickly.

    We will keep you updated while this fault is being resolved. Please DM us at any time and we will answer you immediately. We are very sorry for this fault and apologise for the inconvenience it is causing.

    "Small percentage of customers" :D

    Anyhoo - at least it's some sore of recognition there is an issue, and they are working on it...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 2,697 ✭✭✭Melodeon


    Just in for lunch and it appears to be back working again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,508 ✭✭✭rodge123


    Anyone else seeing intermittent problems on Cappagh, North Kildare mast this morning?
    Getting random timeouts and some very high pings.

    Very frustrating when trying to work from home, lost a half days work last Tuesday due to Imagine network issues too.

    Hurrrryyyyyyyy upppppp NBP! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 183 ✭✭vanman99


    Hi, does anyone know the User name and Password for the routers, I see they've changed them and I need to set up a few repeaters....


  • Posts: 0 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Yeah, they've changed mine from the default one for the router so I've been locked out. I mean I kind of don't get it myself, I've poked around there plenty of times. If the customer is confident enough in themselves to change settings just let them off.....
