Eircom BB [any problems ?]

Placebo · 10-06-2005 10:20AM #1

Recently, after they upgraded their BB lines ive been hearing my friends complain how they cant see pictures on http://www.myspace.com
not sure if they are having trouble with other websites but its mainly that ?

unsure if its just BB, could be all of eircom, pics just dont load.

Also my wireless is picking up eircom ? hmmm , WEP'd though.

That sounds like a problem on the client side. Prob'ly adware/spyware/virus

I'm on Eircom, just checked that site and yeah I can't see photos

just lots of

Hmm, possibly someone on an eircom connection was doing a mass get of pictures, or something, and they blocked the subnet from accessing images?

Clover · 12-06-2005 12:26PM

on eircom 2 meg line and i can't see the pictures but when i use my ibb connection i can see them , so it must just be an eircom thing .

I suspect it's one of Eircom's netblocks. I'm on Eircom DSL, and can see them.

WellyJ · 12-06-2005 02:46PM

Same,

On Eircom DSL 2mb and that site displays fine

can you guys see this pic :

what are netblocks ? whats the way of getting around this.

Could be an MTU problem.... try submitting a large form full of information to a site or something... if it takes aaaaaages to submit then it's probably MTU... (search the boards for more information)

Eircom has at least two like that for their DSL, AFAIK. If this IS the problem, an external proxy would work.
