There's a widespread issue throughout the country. You got an engaged tone on 1907 because most likely thousands of people are trying to contact the same number. How many technical support staff do you suppose vodafone or eir have working at any one time?

Do I hear the sound of a coin hitting the bottom of the cup?

still though long automated messages that tell you to use the internet when the internet connection is the problem are a bit irritating

a pre recorded message to the tune of there is a widespread internet outage etc, please bear with is until we sort the issue + estimated time to solve the issue would be less likely to enrage wouldn't you think?

roll that out instead of check our webpage with our non existent connection.......

Vodafone SIRO in Limerick - had outage but chnaged DNS to 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4 and backup.

Pauliedragon · 27-11-2020 9:00pm

I'm in Cork and my Eir home broadband is fine and my mobile Vodafone is normal aswell. There is people on the town facebook page saying their internet is gone though.

Has no effect on vdsl
Not working here

Will have to wait for the Voda tech staff to come back from the donut shop before it gets sorted

I hear your frustration....hopefully it'll be sorted soon.

Packet loss on the VF network has been atrocious over the last 5-6 weeks. Hopefully they fix whatever is causing the issue soon

Follow this... Should get you going

Vodafone Gigabox. Log into the router, set it to Expert Mode. Under Internet / DNS tab....
Set "Secure DNS" to "manually"
Enable "Configure the DNS for all devices"
Use 8.8.8.8 for DNS Address
Use 8.8.4.4 for secondary address
Apply the changes

Not here. Cork. FTTH

Carolan lennon threw a molotov into their site to take the heat off Eir :pac:

27-11-2020 9:06pm

Remember to reboot devices once you change the dns, didn't work for me until I did that.

Also fyi if you need to for some reason change dns on an android device use 1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com or dns.google

Or alternatively try 1.1.1.1 for Primary DNS and 1.0.0.1 for Secodary. Maybe that might work...

thund3rbird_ · 27-11-2020 9:11pm

8.8.8.8 primary
4.4.4.4 secondary

working for me

didn't need to reboot router after changing

exaisle · 27-11-2020 9:13pm

The secondary should be 8.8.4.4 I think, but if the primary is working it won't matter.

Bobeagleburger · 27-11-2020 9:15pm

Internet light on modem no longer red. Must be something happening

setanta1984 · 27-11-2020 9:15pm

For people reporting dns change working for them - what type of service and router is it?
Has anyone on vdsl with the hauwei hg659 router had success? Not working for me

No success with vdsl on the HG658c still dead as a dodo

fabo1thecross · 27-11-2020 9:20pm

What kinda problem is it when changing the dns solves the problem. It worked for me straight away.

I think its just completley random
there is someone who just posted there that it was still working for them up to 15 mins ago and now its dead yet some parts of the country started having issues about 1:30 today
Mine was still working up till 4:00

fabo1thecross · 27-11-2020 9:27pm

Thanks for the advice folks. Be a while waiting on customer care to fix it. Do the dns settings need to be reset on the router at some stage.

Wombatman · 27-11-2020 9:27pm

FTTH in Athenry.

DNS change on Gigabox router not working. Down for just over an hour now.

Our home broadband in Dublin was gone since around 6, came back on around 8 and is gone again now, starting to get stressed over this toy show now

My vodafone mobile data problematic last couple of hours. Normally excellent. Though perhaps unrelated.

Buford T Justice · 27-11-2020 9:36pm

Using a PI hole and my router is directing all traffic through it. Updated it to route via google DNS and back in business

StevenToast · 27-11-2020 9:37pm

Ooh Vodafone you bunch of c*nts...of all nights to go down....

madcabbage · 27-11-2020 9:38pm

Changed the DNS settings on my route and im back on again. Used Googles DNS settings

Thanks wife’s phone and my own worked after doing this too. Although iPad didn’t need a reboot, just forgot and re-added the network

flashinthepan · 27-11-2020 9:44pm

Never thought I would see the day when I needed to resort to tescomobile broadband tether over a fixed line provider
Sh1t service from Vodafone

I think changing the dns does nothing to restore the service if it's SIRO.

I have SIRO, it's working fine after I changed DNS on the router (Expert Mode -> Internet -> DNS) - I didn't try on the local devices.

Don't know if it's a coincidence, but had the same issue on FTTH.
After changing the DNS settings, I went to "Status and Support" > "Reset Connections" and then reset the fibre connection.

After I did that I got an IP address, which had previousy been blank.

27-11-2020 9:51pm

Mine just came back. Went down around 1800

I guess sub contracted lowest bidder just woke up

Way to go tech Mahindra

Lorddrakul · 27-11-2020 9:57pm

Have a conn in D15 but can't set alternate DNS in older router. Once laptop is set for alternate DNS, it works.
