    Horendous speed issues last night from around 6pm. Was gettin speeds of 300-400kb/s and pings around 800ms with 92% Capacity. :eek: BT Kilkenny.

    Things seem more normal now, although not exactly as good as they were.

    Same here, thought it was just me, 400ms ping to irish servers :/

    Hi everyone


    I have been "told" and I think you should know that Eircom have been having issues with the Merview-Mervue (MVW) and Waterford (WTD) BRASs for the last 4 weeks.

    This is a major outage as Merview deals with most of the west cost of Ireland from Limerick to Sligo and through Waterford they interconnect most of the south.

    Last week, to help congestion, they replaced 2.5 gb fiber link in Merview-Mervue but it only helped partially.

    Works are supposed to be carried out on Thursday. This will affect random customers not all bitstream customers.

    BT woeful for me aswell. Speeds are up and down but useable, pings are in the 100s, 100% packet loss on all pings and all tracerts time out.:confused:
    But I can still surf and download.:eek:

    I am afraid that this will affect all Eircom bitstream customer's as well as resellers....

    Pings weren't too bad this morning but it seems with increased traffic they've gone back up to around 250ms with timeouts inbetween.

    Yeah, the pings went down to about 180ms last night, but this morning, they're at 250ms. Not as bad as they were yesterday, but still poor. I think as the day progresses, the ping will get worse.

    Same problem here in waterford. I gave them a call last night and played their recorded message. They said as of 6:30 last night both in waterford and galway their was some DNS issue ?? not sure what that ment. But said it will cause internet problems. My ping was 440ms to boards and eircom when i pinged their sites. And trying to play games online well i could not :).

    Have had bad pings the past 4 or 5months to be honest. But yesterday just took the piss.

    speeds are only a bit slower than usually but pings are usually 50max stable all day.

    I think everyone should log a call with them, I just did and they aren't aware on any problem. I spent 45 mins talking to some agent who wouldn't listen to me

    Me: The problem seems to be my second HOP, I have low latency to my WAN interfaces gateway
    Her: Your gateway is 192.168.1.254
    Me: No, not my LAN gateway, my WAN gateway
    Her: Your what?
    Me: Ping my WAN interface gateway, see what you get
    Her: I am getting some timeouts and the ping time is high
    Me: When I ping it its fine, its the HOP after that thats the problem
    Her: Can you reset your router?
    Me: Your not listening
    Her: Have you got an extension lead?
    Me: *&^%



    If everyone logs this they'll soon know about it!

    Rang IBB DSL support earlier (didn't have much hope for a good response) and asked them did they get any info off eircom regarding problems in the south east.

    This guy says 'Em our emails were having problems today so I haven't received any today from outside the company'. Didn't have a clue about any issues either. Useless!

    Yep. Looks like it'll be the same as last night. They could wait until more people were in bed. :rolleyes:

    Was fine during the day.

    I know its bother but an old fashioned letter to the Chief Executive of Eircom especially if lots did it would surely raise questions?

    My router went offline and back on about a minute ago and speeds seem to have now gone back to normal after being really sluggish all evening.
