Eircom Broadband being incredibly slow.. why?

14-07-2008 9:49pm#1Hey.
I have Eircom Broadband, and today, I went onto my Garry's Mod server to find that I was getting 400 ping! I would usually get less than 20 ping when I went on. I decided to reboot my computer to see if that would help. It didn't help. I am running a web server on my connection, and have been running one for well over 2 years now. I checked the ping on my server and it was 400ms on there as well. So I restarted my (netopia) router several times, I even changed my DNS servers to OpenDNS. No change in speed.
I am paying for 2048k DSL, and when I did a test on speedtest.net, I was not happy with the results.
I have no idea, why I am getting download speeds that are 7.5 times slower than what I am paying for. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? Is anyone else having this problem? I'm in the South Tipperary area, Clonmel to be exact.
Thanks,
-Steve

Terrible in Mullingar also.
Has been getting worse for last few weeks
I have a 3Meg connection and I always got about 2600kb/s religiously when running tests. Recently its running at about 1200. Today I was down to about 700 during the day.
Was in with a guy earlier who has 4 meg line and he was complaining. We ran speedtest and he was getting 750 down and 120 up, should be about 3500 down and 320 up!!
Hmm.... Looking at the above, the Dublin figure is showing much higher every time I try the test
Would that point to DNS issues?0 -
