    Down in North Cork also, seems to be country wide. Is there anybody we can contact at this time about it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,213 ✭✭✭xxyyzz


    I think it's safe to say it's gone nationwide folks.

    Deteriorated badly from about the middle of the first half of the Liverpool match for me and now - bang - gone.

    First Saturday evening of the lockdown. Liverpool match on, Khabib fight on. Their crap network couldn't cope.

    Edit: Having said the above, the Vodafone network was in tatters tonight also.

    Well this is a grim night. Hopefully wake up tomorrow back in the 21st century

    Still down near Castlebar


  • Registered Users Posts: 118 ✭✭rayfitzharris


    Athy mast was down yesterday evening up to about midnight. All back working this morning.
    Switched to 3s 4g last night which was also maxed out, 0.2mb down 0.0up
    Yeah 5g will save us all from 4g like 4g saved us from 3g and 3g saved us from 2g...

    Fiber go brrrrrr!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,236 ✭✭✭mossie


    Is anyone getting much lower speeds since it returned? I usually average around 90Mbps down and 8 up but now I'm getting 20 down and 2 up.

    Just got a text saying issue resolved.. Apparently we were without service for a short period last night but thankfully the engineers have restored it.

    Only they haven't and we're still down.

    I don't see us getting internet back into Tuesday if they're under the impression it's fixed.

    Mine briefly improved but I'm now getting less than 10Mbps down.

    reading all these posts and living in south county dublin estate where eir have refused to supply fibre\cable
    along with just one company supply cable\fibre "monoply", even nbp ireland\cccp etc. no response to situation.
    it seems rural is being over supported whilst we suffer on old phone line.
    this as i have stated clearly is government supporting and involved in Cartel and monopolies.
    Well done in gaining in rural what i cannot get in D18.
    (even got notice lately from Siro that they will not supply hence "virgin" monopoly goes on).

    How exactly is rural being "over supported"? I have one option - Imagine - and don't expect to see NBP for 3 or 4 years. Not exactly a glut of options.

    Internet up again now. Let's see how it goes

    phone line or cable\fibre (imagine) ?.
    political chest beating is going on with "rural" by government


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,188 ✭✭✭deadl0ck


    So this is interesting - I was chatting to an old school friend of mine yesterday.
    He mentioned how bad his broadband is and asking about mine.
    I said I'm on imagine and I get pretty good speeds and I'm happy with it - he's in the local town on a vodafone fibre connection and is getting 2.5 download speeds and is sick of complaining to them about it.
    Here's my test just now - this is pretty typical for me since I was moved to a new mast a couple of months ago

    monopolies and cartel supported by government.
    when you read other posts of how others try repeater "towers\aerials etc.methods to
    gain some bandwidth, you see the restrictions placed by government and
    the cost of "suported\allowed equipment" which is proferred by comreg.
    IT is "closed shop" and get what you are given with profit to the vested interests.
    ***saw a program from north america\canada where a local set up a community tower
    with government aid to supply the local town\village - cannot even follow any path
    here to aid citizens own initiative.***

    I don't have cable / fibre and no prospect of this for years. Phone line gives 2 Mbps if I'm lucky. Being rural gives me no advantage. Didn't you mention you have Virgin as an option? we'll never see that


  • Registered Users Posts: 285 ✭✭jelem


    in your case my comments do not refer to.
    the nbp which is part funded with eu money
    (i raised issue with OLAF) and MEP luke Ming Flanagan 2018 EU
    posted questions for EU response)-
    is a sham and as i pointed out to greens with their support
    for government - the plan for miles of cable "environmental etc. footprint"
    is bad when a single tower with range in miles 18 radius can provide 5G.
    But the greens prove they just want government pay and to hell with "green".
    Vested interests supported by FG and FF both whom need "culling",
    ensure you get what they decide and NOT what is possible in a short space
    of time at reasonable cost.

    It could indeed, speeds would be slower than LTE though, but who cares?
    Another lobbyist for Wireless broadband as a national solution.
    2G were supposed to replace cables , then 3G , then 4g , 5g now.
    Day when i've got FTTH installed was the one of the happiest day in my life , Imagine - is the scam for desperate people , without a proper choice of fibre solutions.

    If your emails to Luke were as coherent as your last few posts then I’d imagine he didn’t pay much attention to them!

    Anyone having problems tonight in kilkenny?

    Edit: it was fine this morning again


  • Registered Users Posts: 958 ✭✭✭1jcdub


    A friend of mine had imagine installed today in Termonfeckin. The installer say he was getting 50 mb download speed. He checked it after her left and he was only getting 20 mb at 2pm. I'm due for for installation on Thursday. I'm having having second thoughts...

    That’s because he’s on Fibre to the cabinet which gets slower the further of distance via to the cabinet. It’s only fibre to the green cabinet. Copper wiring to his house could stretch for miles and be of poor quality/faults in parts. He’d have faster broadband if he could downgrade to an older Adsl2+ product. Not all exchanges got adsl2+, a lot are still ADSL(1)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 501 ✭✭✭SkepticQuark


    Down again for me. Getting pretty ****ing sick of this service the last 2 weeks or so. I can pull 90mbps on GoMo for 9.99 a month, but can't even get service half the ****ing time anymore during peak hours on imagine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,241 ✭✭✭god's toy


    Does anyone have a phone connected/working? Mine never came back up (internet is fine) after the other day.

    Ah interesting - I didn't realise that as I've never had any mention of the word fibre near where I am so I never really looked into it.
    Thanks for that - makes sense!

    Yes, working fine. Maybe reboot the router and see if that helps.

    Be sure to check with an ethernet cable plugged directly from a laptop to the router to get the true speed.

    Just to rule out wifi being an issue.

    Currently in contract with imagine for another 11 months - has anyone any experience with leaving imagine while in contract ? The service is just beyond crap ! Constant loss of service, speeds consistently below 3MB and often as low as 0.5MB, loss of phone service. I'm simply not getting the product I am paying for, I have spoken with technical support 6 times - all to no avail. I have just accepted it's a sh!te product and there are alternatives out there.

    a complaint to comrreg of False speed test results being pushed on the public.
    received gobblydeegook and obsfucation with a month or so after eir reduced

    i have the evidence and proof of cartel and monopoly along with lies to

    I think it’s interfering with your ability to write any readable posts!
