Eircom 2mb to 3mb upgrade?

Slippin Jimmy · 2008-08-27 21:35:46

A friend in work was telling me that they got the free upgrade off eircom from 2mb to 3mb, I rang eircom and was told that I would get the upgrade too by the end of the month. Checked my broadband speed there earlier today and am still running at 2mb. I know it is not the end of the month yet, but I am sort of worried as…

Theyre( Eircom ) doing this gradually, theres still a load of exchanges that havnt been upgraded, e.g. the Athlone exchange

You may eat your words unfortunately as the upgrade has been a mixed bag, some have had 0 problems others have stability issues and/or slow pings

I was on the 3Mb package->7.6 but i only get 4Mb download and my pings arent very good, thankfully theyre still fine for gaming, i.e. below 100 for uk servers

Ignoring idiots who comment "far right" because they don't even know what it means
