I’m not holding out hope that they will digging a trench in the morning. I’m really frustrated with the whole experience. I’m currently with Vodafone.i can never get through to their customer care line , I just get disconnected. Do I just call sales and get them to connect me. I just wish there was a way I could have a dialogue and be privy to their actual plans!
tuxy wrote: » Yup, makes sense. The thing is I had Eir FTTH for 12 months and I didn't pay for a fixed IP so was using DHCP and my IP never changed. That seems to be common for FTTH. I'm fairly sure it changed once in a while when I had DSL.

I have a 1gb connection from Airwire which works flawlessly all the time but this morning I noticed the download speed dropped to 10mb but I just restarted the router which completely solved the issue but now again tonight the download speed has dropped again but restarting the router hasn't done anything this time. The upload speed is fine. Anyone have a similar problem or anything I can try to fix it?
