    Pages aren't loading for me or else are severely slow in doing so.

    With Eircom, using Google's DNS & Chrome...

    reddit is ok for me.

    google is slow and gmail is on basic.

    they do this about once a year (google, uskn) to test their control I think.

    Google chrome has crashed a couple of times on me this evening

    Seems much better right now but this has been happening intermittently 1-2 times per week over the last 6 months... for me at least.

    Hmmmm, they seem to be targeting you in particular.

    I'd move house and change my name, if I were you.

    That's about the level of customer support I've come to expect from Eircom whenever I bring the issue up with them.

    Thankfully I have 'SamKnows' and 'Ripe Atlas' probes running which usually helps to get past such barriers when trying to get talking to someone who has a clue.

    Sam knows about as much as we do!

    Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
