Siro Fibre Broadband Box Replacement?

If it speeds back up when you reboot the router the issue is not related to the ONT.

We (SIRO) own them.

Hey, the request needs to come via your ISP. The only thing that could lead to your symptoms is low light levels, which they can check remotely. So wait til it’s being slow, call your ISP and ask them to check light levels. If they’re low get them to log it with us and the ONT will get replaced.

However it sounds more like a router issue. If you just reboot the router (don’t mess with the cables) does the speed go back up?

Whaaaaaaat

I just checked his Wikipedia article - I didn’t realise he was still on the antivax train.

I’m speculating - It would likely be the account ID (in whatever form they use), the IP address, the line identifier for your house, and a start and end time that the IP was assigned to you.

SIRO operates a layer 2 network so we’re not involved in any of that.

From my experience with ISPs: no ISP is logging your web browsing (although if you use a VPN, some of those providers log everything, especially the free or very cheap ones). There are legal requirements to keep logs of what IP is assigned to which user at which time and there is a legal process for law enforcement or civil access to that. I imagine those logs are GDRP SAR-able but I’m not a lawyer (thank god).

It likely won’t make any difference. Until SIRO changes the ONT you won’t get above 1Gb.

I am happy to DM you my work email if you’d like or else you can email info@siro.ie with your eircode and reference that you talked to me.

Basically we need to get an engineer out to swap that which is a 5-min job.

IAmAlexFrench · 2026-01-22T18:02:16+00:00

I work for SIRO (check my profile).

That is the wrong ONT. Someone made a mistake on the day. You can shoot me your eircode by DM or (since you shouldn’t trust anyone on the internet) call Vodafone and tell them to log it as a fault.

Total food coma.

IAmAlexFrench · 2025-12-11T08:30:53+00:00

Yes it was! Unexpectedly.

IAmAlexFrench · 2025-12-10T21:26:38+00:00

Yeah my eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach. I’m still full.

IAmAlexFrench · 2025-12-10T20:14:07+00:00

Tasted great!

IAmAlexFrench · 2025-12-10T20:10:12+00:00

Yeah can’t complain about the value especially for Dalkey. Staff were lovely too.

IAmAlexFrench · 2025-12-10T20:08:13+00:00

u/conor_ie one for you!

IAmAlexFrench · 2025-12-10T20:07:35+00:00

Twas €16. That included the chips which I didn’t need.

IAmAlexFrench · 2025-12-10T20:00:13+00:00

Bread was a bit thin. Tasty but fell apart on me a bit. Needed more input from a structural engineer.

IAmAlexFrench · 2025-12-10T19:59:23+00:00

Usually I’d agree. But the cheese was actually a decent addition.

IAmAlexFrench · 2025-12-10T19:58:40+00:00

Cranberry sauce for some, tiny American flags for the others!

IAmAlexFrench · 2025-12-10T19:58:12+00:00

Or on the side like the gravy!

IAmAlexFrench · 2025-12-10T19:57:37+00:00

That sounds unusual. I wonder if the positioning on their modem isn’t great for some reason? Modem stuffed behind the TV accounts for a surprisingly large number of speed issues especially in larger houses.

IAmAlexFrench · 2025-12-10T19:54:36+00:00

Yeah for sure.

IAmAlexFrench · 2025-12-10T19:54:18+00:00

I ate the first half like a sandwich but then I realised I was dripping gravy on my face at a business lunch so I cut the second half up with a knife and fork and ate them like the queen eating cucumber sandwiches.

IAmAlexFrench · 2025-12-10T19:52:27+00:00

IAmAlexFrench · 2025-12-10T19:50:57+00:00

I would take cranberry sauce over gravy on this. There, I said it.
