    To be honest Steffano2002 who doesnt hate you :p

    Ah ur a lovely guy! Id say most of the employee's @ IBB get a good laugh from the forum. I heard rumours of a speed increase but as far as I was aware nothing had been confirmed, who confirmed this was it a Tech Monkey or a Sales one?

    Ahhh that explains why I couldn't get a gateway address last night when I came back from Cork. Thought it was just Linux being a bitch so booted into Windows... same dice.

    I can confirm that my connection to Odlums exchange was down for periods on Thursday, Friday and well over 12 hours on Sunday. In fact at 06:30 this morning it was still down. :mad:

    I tried ringing to report the outage and they were closed. Sent a web request for a call back regarding the issue this morning before 8 and still no response.

    What a joke of a service. Will be arranging a new provider in the next few days and will then have to chase IBB for a refund....

    My service has been great up until friday, am in portmarnock area and was out for a few hours friday and all day yesterday, rang them up and the agent had a clue what the problem was... told me it was some sort of power issue and did not have any idea when the service would be restored uhhhhhh...

    So what about the upgrades?

    Will 2Mb go to 4Mb?
    Will 3Mb go to 6Mb?

    When?

    Not that I want to download more, but downloading faster would be nice.
    I can get 50Mb from work!!! But I don't download much there obviously.

    Nah, i'd say it'll be more like everyone's 2meg actually giving them 2 meg! That'd be a huge speed increase for a lot of people :p

    that would be nice, if they actually gave us what we are paying for. the only time i ever get anything near 2mb is at 3am. for the past 2 weeks my connection was down for 3 days and my max download speed has been 45kb/s on a 2mb line. when i rang up to complain about the sh*tty speeds i was told i am sharing a line with 700 others. i told them thats no my problem, i am paying e50 a month for 2mb not for 512k. ffs fix your f*cking service.
