If you live anywhere in the Cork/Waterford/Tipp area and have fixed line broadband with any provider then you may have been having problems since last Friday. I was getting 40 kbs instead of 2 mbs since Monday rendering the internet connection almost useless. Eircom fixed it for their customers yesterday and fixed it for their competitors this morning. Normal service should have returned everywhere. Yet another reason for us all to switch over to Wimax and HSDPA wireless broadband when it gets rolled out rather than using a set of providers who clearly couldn’t give a damn.
UPDATE 1: Cancel that, it’s gone down again.

Sh*te, and I just received my Eircom broadband pack in the post this morning!

You’ll probably be ok, it is not affecting everyone and it sounds like Eircom people in Carrigaline are ok so I figure you will be too.
I am so angry about this you wouldn’t believe it. I’m this close to making some crack about Gort and Eircom.

God forbid that you couldn’t blog for a few days Conor.
I’ve got visions of you wandering around the street stopping people at random to tell them what you think of local restaurants, farmers markets,

I could get a sandwich board and walk around with my reviews written on it.
I’ve degenerated into one of these people who sees something and thinks “I should blog that”. Now if only I had some writing skills I’d be sorted.
