    I'm ashamed to admit this, but how do I get that speedtest and ping test summary on to a boards reply.
    Anytime I've tried it's come out as an URL, which is not the idea I presume.

    Mines in my sig.

    Been getting 105/10mbits rock solid all day and night for the last 2 months since I bridged my UPC EPC3925 router to an ASUS RT-N66U router. That was on the UPC speedtest though. Was still stubbornly getting 80/7mbits on the speedtest.net site though. That was until I upgraded my browsing Atom powered PC to a quad core i5. Turns out that speedtest.net is a resource intensive little bugger of a Java App And the dog slow atom processor was effecting the results. Since the PC upgrade I'm now getting rock solid 105/10mbits and low pings on speedtest.net too.

    I am on 24mb package and Originally i was receiving around 10mb wired but last night for some unknown reason my connection downgraded to 6mb. So i did call eircom and issue was sorted out but by the looks of things i think they might have improved my connection?


    Previous speed test, server: Enniskillen

    Previous speed test, server: Galway

    What i am getting now.

    2956596865.png

    2956608308.png

    DSL Mode: ADSL2+
    Speed: 16539 kbps /765 kbps
    Line Attenuation (Down/Up): 28 dB /14 dB
    DSL Noise Margin: 5 dB /18 dB

    It is kind of weird how i am getting much lower ping on Enniskillen server compared to galway. Since i am closer to galway shouldn't it be other way around???

    Not really. You could have packets sent out to Galway that don't go through or are delayed on some nodes (servers). The Galway trip for the "Car" just came to more traffic lights. ;D

    Speed: 9313 kbps /670 kbps
    Line Attenuation (Down/Up): 48 dB /19 dB

    Similar to ours with Line Attenuation @ 38.0 db/18.3 db.

    They did it for free, right?

    yeah they did it for free, we were supposed to be ported over over a year ago but never were. Also moved from a business package back to home advanced broadband (they couldnt do this without upgrading me to ADSL2+ at the exchange)

    UPC need to double their upload. 105mbit down 'only' has me 'Faster than 97% or IE'.

    So obviously upload is a weighted variable in the equation.

    Hahah, thanks man. Although the connection has been kind of unstable last night to be honest. Hopefully it will get sorted out with following days since it is a newly installed connection. :)

    For anyone that has been upgraded to efibre, i have a question.

    Has your ping times lowered dramatically or are they still the same?

    I haven't got efibre yet i'm just enquiring. Some people have told the same has happened them as it has you.

    Apparently there's a correlation between upload speed and ping. Don't know how much of that is true as i'm not a network technician.

    What do you mean by correlation of upload and ping?

    Upgrading to Vodafone VDSL in few weeks, this is Smart Broadband (owned by Digiweb) in Dundalk centre.
    I'm behind 2 routers with a 500Mb/s AC ethernet adapter (Homeplug) in between them:

    Just got Eircom eFibre 50 so pretty happy with these results. Though I notice FaganJr getting close to 15 upload on the same package. Not that I'd ever need that kind of upload but curious what the reason is there as I'm only a stone's throw from the CAB. Great ping from Dublin to Enniskillen anyway!
