    Is it normal to be only getting 20-25mb on UPC in the days after the install?

    I remember being told it can take up to 10 days fro the modem/router to settle in. Could be a myth but it might be true.

    Try a wired connection and if you are getting lower than 50 (I assume that's what you're on) get in contact with UPC. If you're getting 50 wired and 12 wireless, you might have a faulty router or you're device might not be n capable.

    Just tried a wired connection and am impressed :) Only supposed to get 50MB, and didn't get a text about being upgraded.

    150mb UPC

    Went from 24mb NGB Eircom (which was 5mb really never got more).

    I did get 110mb on one test but tbh compared to what it was and the issues i had i can live with the above.

    After your speedtest has finished, you'll see a "forum link" to copy and paste on here.

    I looked at your pingtest result. You need to lower your router's firewall to get a proper test.

    Just checking the internet in the house before I get my new PC tomorrow.
    Not bad for wireless seen as I'm paying for 60. :)

    1km as crow flies from Eircom exchange.

    Maybe 2km by road.

    Eircom broadband Next Gen regular, up to 8mb speed.

    hi harry, yes fiber, its called the 'eircom Fibre Broadband 25', so that's download speed of 25MB, and a usage allowance of 100GB and that's €40 pm, I also have the phone (talk anytime) with them so all in it's €55 pm.

    Thanks for replying. What's the advertised upload speed? The download cap is disappointing. I hope it improves by this time next year because that's when I should be upgrading, I hope.

    Do you know what other packages are available?

    Are you working for them? That price is extremely bad.

    Yes it is a massive €6.75 pm more than the present Sky offering which from reading other threads on here has had a lot of teething problems.

    According to their TV advert they don't. But I can't remember what figure they said they are offering for downloads. It was an advert about their bundles.

    There is no cap with Sky. Its unlimited.

    I should say that they do have a "lite" option thats free but thats a 2gb cap and is geared only towards people primarily looking for the phone/land line only.

    Details here
