Last week I was contacted by a Vodafone Ireland network engineer to look into the problems I am experiencing. The most painful of these is the very slow experience I get with websites that have embedded images. I know the sites and content are fine because I can access them with no problem from other Internet services provider networks, e.g. I have done side-by-side tests on Vodafone Ireland and from our data centre via Terminal Services.<\/p>\n
During the call I found some sites and pages experiencing the issue at that time. I was asked to run trace routes to those sites which I did. I also installed Microsoft Network Monitor 3.3 and ran a capture of the network traffic while the pages tried to load. A simple page with small thumbnail images was taking 3-5 minutes to load and many of the images would fail (red X in its place). I did this with 2 pages on 2 sites.<\/p>\n
Those captures went off to Vodafone Ireland. A couple of days later the engineer informed me:<\/p>\n
Am I alone in this? It seems not<\/a>. I\u2019m still hearing from people that this is an issue for them. I\u2019m also getting lots of search hits for \u201cVodafone Ireland Slow Home Broadband\u201d.<\/p>\n Vodafone Ireland has until this Friday to resolve the issue. That\u2019s thanks to my case being open with COMREG. Without a solution, come Monday, I\u2019ll be calling COMREG and following up on that option to have COMREG cleanly cancel my Vodafone Ireland contract and facilitate a transfer to another ISP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last week I was contacted by a Vodafone Ireland network engineer to look into the problems I am experiencing.
