Broadband Speed & Ping Test Megathread

Pretty good results from Eircom 3MB in Dublin. Line quality is good. Going to be changing ISP to UPC 30MB soon though.

I was told by Vodafone I`d get 12Mb out of the 24 Mb package, before I tried this package I was getting 6 Mb from Vodafone, I`m in Kildare. I added a Magnet test just to compare.

The reason for the F on the ping test is because you have the router firewall turned on.

You need to turn it off.

Type 192.168.1.1 into your browser address bar to log into the router.

Turn off the router fire wall.

The manual is here.:)http://www.upc.ie/pdf/4755_UPC_WiFi_Brochure.pdf

Edit look at my packet loss without the firewall.

Eircom 7MBP, Dublin 7. These are my wireless results.

Anyone in the know have any opinion on how good/bad this connection is? My line has been ''upgraded'' recently ( despite how bull**** that is.)

Turn off the firewall on your router and your ping will go from an F to an A.

your speeds are so bad because you are on Meteors EDGE network the light on your modem is green i believe??if so then it wont get any faster as the speeds you are getting is the max for EDGE..
if your modem could obtain a blue light (3G) signal then it would be much faster the ping is also very bad which further brings me to believe your modem can only get a EDGE signal..Meteor are way behind in terms of 3G signal coverage in ireland but also have the fastest 3G network as they have way less subscribers 3 are over subscribed currently at 500,000 users of their 3G network services
