Just in case anyone doesn't know, if you don't know what exchange you're connected to, go to www.smarttelecom.ie and enter your number into the BB line checker and the result will tell you the exchange.

Give the Eircom boy's a chance to boil the kettle and have a cuppa. They're probably on overtime for this.

I would of thought changing the speeds on a DSLAM would be a five minute job per exchange...I might head out to my local exchange and camp out and demand my speed increases!





Also, do you get the feeling there is more that could be done with our lives..?

Maybe its just me...

Ok whats the story with this. From 1 to 2mb and 2 to 3mb? And it also says their smallest package prior to this was 1mb

I'm a little puzzled as I'm still on 512k...have been for months.

here we go,

FIRST to Go

EXCHANGE: Bray
ISP: Esat BT
PACKAGE: Broadband Plus

PING: see attachment
SPEEDTEST: see attachment


have to admit uploading the attachments was a breeze. (in terms of upload time.)

i don't know whether or not to be happy with the download speed, but tbh i'm more happy about the upload speed.

*EDIT*

just checked my router setup and the connection is still interleaved.

*EDIT2*

just added in my download speed for that linux iso that was going round in the broadband speed thread a couple of days ago.
