Eircom upload speed

Joe D'Arcy

I am on eircom broadband between 2 and 3 miles from the exchange in Newbridge, Co Kildare. I am thinking about buying a Slingbox. In theory my upload speed is 256 kbps. How can I check this in upload streaming as would be the case with the Slingbox.
Also, has anyone got feedback on the Slingbox in general and in particular the new mobile phone Slingplayer application

you can check the upload speed on www.speedtest.net or www.speedtest.ie

Thanks. Tried it last night. As I suspected I'm getting less than 100k up and only about 800k down. So much for Eircom's 2MB service. This was over a wireless network. I will try over ethernet tonight to see if it is any better. Doesn't look like a slingbox will work!!

Have you checked your line stats?

It's probably line.
It's rare not to get full upload speed.

type address of your router into the web browser and look for them.

The address might be 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.0.254 or either of those with a 1 instead of 0

If you go Start Run
type cmd
press enter
type ipconfig
press enter
The default Gateway is likely your router address
