Is EIRCOM down again???

Claregirl · 26-08-2009 03:52PM #1

Sorry not sure if this is the right spot for this but I can't access my mail and can't log on to eircom.net either.

Has it gone belly up yet again? Anyone know?

Local-womanizer · 26-08-2009 03:53PM

Eircom vans are out and about in Letterkenny all day,poking around holes,but the net is working grand here

Weird, my brother literally just came down as this page was loading saying his internet had gone down.

Oddly, mine is still working fine.

mehmeh12 · 26-08-2009 03:57PM

how common are eircoms breakdowns?

Depends where you are. I know of a lot of complaints.

Anyway, looks like the OP is right.
From the link above...

Unless she has some fantastic talent or knack for accessing the internet without eircom.

Just thought it was funny, how the eircom site goes down, along with my brother's internet at the same time.

My mail is back again must have been a blip!

It's very irritating especially if expecting an e-mail:(

I'm struggling with Eircom this evening too. Seems very similar to last so called DOS glitch a few weeks ago. I'm based in Dún Laoghaire.

Change over to open dns servers..
Iv been having problems tonight too but its fine now(reset my router recently and my settings went back to eircoms dns servers)

Primary Dns server 208.67.222.222
Secondary Dns server 208.67.220.220

Go to 192.168.1.254 in your address bar, hit enter expert mode then hit configure connection and fill these bad boys into the fields, then at the bottom hit restart router and your up and running

Happening with eircom here in Greystones area. Working ok once an address is resolved but very hit and miss for most sites...Thought they would have had their DNS fixed after the last debacle...

Same problem here.

I just switched to opendns and my eircom - which was slow tonight - is flying along.

Cheers for that, it saved me searching boards for the opendns servers. Had the same problem in Mullingar.

Niall09 · 26-08-2009 09:28PM

My internet went down too tonight (DNS errors).

But iv changed and all is well and good

jaybee747 · 26-08-2009 09:31PM

Yes, I know that changing DNS should help. But I use VPN, it's quicker

More than likely its just DNS issues, not a direct line/connection problem , Mobile internet will be 10 times worse, just changeover to Open Dns and your problems will dissapear

RGDATA! · 26-08-2009 09:36PM

just to add to the consensus - yeah, there seem to be DNS issues again and switching to OpenDNS seems to be the way to go

Star Bingo · 26-08-2009 09:56PM
