    If had no service from eircom broadband since about 6 yesterday. Can anyone tell me if the service is down and if so does anyone know when it'll be back? Also is there any alternative way to use broadband (eg use a different number etc)?

    Cheers!

    It is not down generally - have you tried restarting your modem?

    Working fine. No problems.

    Anyone have problems losing their connection at all. The odd time I seem to lose it for a few seconds and then it reconnects itself. Wonder if its a problem with the connection to the wireless router or if its something else. Very annoying if in the middle of Battlefield and you get kicked out and then can't get back in.

    Sounds like there may be a local problem then best get on to Eircom. Usually it is best to leave it off for a couple of minutes anyways. Is the adsl light showing up on the modem>

    Clicksilver users have been complaining of this sort of problem off and on for ages now and it seems to be quite prevalent at the moment.
