Re: 3Mobile Broadband in Rossnowlagh - their prolonged signal failure was due to upgrading and maintenance, I'm told. Certainly, there's an excellent signal since yesterday evening.

10.20am Thursday 4 February 2010

 

  

  

Superb 4 foot swell smoking in force 4 offshore south easterly breeze.

Internet  problems continue. I have just driven all the way to Ballyshannon and found an open wireless connection in the east port. Apparently Ballyshannon has been without 3 Mobile Broadband since last Friday and the problem persists. Users are so enraged that 3 technical support doesn't answer to south Donegal numbers any more so use your mobile phone to dial 1913 if you want to yell at them.

No tide times today because I left the tables in Rossnowlagh. Tide was full when I left Rossnowlagh about 10.00am and was brimming at the Mall Quay in Ballyshannon where I stopped to try to pick up a signal, so low tide should be 3pm - 4.00pm

8.36am Wed 3 Feb 2010 and still connected!

 

  

Right now the swell is flattened out by south south easterly breeze which is acting like a southerly cross-shore breeze. Swell is small 1 foot close to the beach.  Breeze will shift further east and offshore when the tide turns, lifting the swell better than it is doing at present, so maybe some small clean surf later in the morning.

 By the lights of the Sandhouse shining out over the rising tide, I can see a small 1 foot swell not yet flattened out yet by a force 4 cross-shore southerly breeze. There may be photos later if my broadband signal holds.

3 mobile broadband failure in Rossnowlagh
Apologies for yesterday's missing surf report. 3 mobile broadband signal failed all day long in spite of repeated calls to their helpful but helpless technical support people in India who kindly checked their mapping software to find out whether my signal belonged to Rossnowlagh Lower or Rossnowlagh Crossroad. We settled for Rossnowlagh Lower.
The signal has been erratic since last Thursday. Now there's a signal at 6.30am which suggests that 3 has sold more modems than its bandwidth can accommodate. I'll ask them, back in India, what they think about that theory, when the rest of Donegal wakes up and my signal fades away.

11.00am Monday 1 February 2010

 

  

Small half foot swell with force 2 onshore westerly breeze.  Report has been late over the last few days beause of erratic broadband connection at 3 mobile broadband.
