mmmmmmm, I think I'm being lied to, It must be the vodafone switchover that has made my internet/phoneline desperate because it happened around the 31st of october (remember halloween night) even though when I rang vodafone they insisted that it had not been switched over yet and I had to contact BT

Are phonecalls okay for you? do they sound clear & I've emailed Vodafone over the issue & posted in the vodafone forum on boards.ie so they have to deal with it quickly.

Drogheda. Eircom 7mb.

5 mins before that Ping test, I got an F grade from Dublin server!

It's awfully slow this afternoon. My speed keeps changing. If I test it at 2am, I think I get 5.25 mb - 5.50mb speeds.

Are other peoples speeds always consistent all day? Am I being ripped off with this kind of speed during the day? Is it Eircoms fault or something else??
