    What your experiencing is contention. What package are you on?

    Welcome to Eircons Ireland. Their old network is creaking under the pressure of broadband demand and bad pings and serious contention is the result. You haven't many options other than change provider to someone with a better contention ratio or grin and bear it.

    50-70? what are you complaining about.
    Try 300-500 in the evenings and 30-40 during the day for a solid 6 months now.
    Totally unplayable for 6 months in the evenings.
    Im on eircoms lowest contention package.
    Count your lucky stars.
