PINGTEST website is not really a reliable place to test your ping against various sites.

best thing to test your ping would be to go to

START
RUN
Type in CMD

then type PING www. <<< enter in the website to check your ping, any website you check should give you a packet loss of 0% if your line is good enough, and also your PING shouldn't be any higher than 50ms

I'm only on the Eircom 3 Mb package, so I guess I shouldn't complain ...

I am a BT subscriber who was migrated to Vodafone and I am on the ADSL up to 24Mb/s package.

I am in Woodlands Estate, close to Navan telephone exchange. The highest speeds that I have noted have been 20.03/0.85

Currently on a 5MB package with UPC.
Always get massively different results from Speedtest, and the Magnet site :rolleyes:

Supercell · 06-05-2010 12:02pm

UPC 5mb, Ringsend, Dublin, never goes above 3mb, not a happy customer.

Preset No.3 · 06-05-2010 5:22pm

Portlaoise - UTV ClickSilver Broadband

I'm upgrading to Eircom, thanks to one of their travelling salesmen, in the next month. They're promising wireless via a router, which will be able to connect two laptops and a PS3 without any interference.

He was saying something about 3mb to start off, and then it will go up to 8mb, and their Next Gen broadband is coming to town soon.

I get an F every time and at least 56% packet loss. Which makes sense I guess because my internet connection is absolutely horrible. Can barely make it through a youtube video most days...

You need to turn off the firewall on your router.

Wait, what? Turn it off? That sounds like a really bad idea...

Greaney · 12-05-2010 10:31am

We live in the east side of Galway city.

Our package says "5mb", well..... it's never been above 4 and it averages between 3 and 4mb... Smart telecom doesn't feel so smart after all....

jd007 · 12-05-2010 10:44am

o2 mobile broadband. I'm happy enough with that.

ToadVine · 12-05-2010 2:00pm

Sometimes I get over 100Mb/s download and 75Mb/s upload.

Work broadband FTW!

starviewadams · 12-05-2010 3:04pm

Because you need to turn off the firewall on the router and yes this is safe your router not your pc.

aha!

so should i just leave the firewall off on my router from now on, or does it really matter?

Just make sure your PC firewall is on.:)

I was told I've been moved to the 8MB NGB - but speedtest is only showing 4.39MB? How can I get the full 8MB? I've the netopia modem which came with my broadband - would buying a better one help? Thanks!
