Where are you living.

Hi Rory,

Why BB latency is very bad in south dublin? My colleague struggles to get good connection with 7.6mb 12:1 Imagine Business Broadband. Do you have any 1:1 service in this area with good result? Or something wrong in their exchange or location? He was on 3mb bb but then upgraded it to 7.6mb just last week with 12 months contract which was using as per a Tech support. Is there any way to cancel it and get Magnet 1:1 without any disruption of service. Please advise. I need to sort it out.

Thanks in advance.

Johnboy1951 · 15-10-2009 8:29am

mattman, is that router locked to Eircom or can you enter any VOIP supplier's information into it?

What make/model is it? Thanks.

warlikedave · 15-10-2009 5:03pm

nice speeds but i would really like to see what speeds the WiMax system brings to the table - heres mine - not too bad for three since i switched back to them and it seems to be costant for the most part (2mb to 4 mb speeds usually)

This is what I'm getting with Eircom. Roughly a mile from the server. Small bit worried about the pings but this speed generally holds even through peak times. Might occasionly drop to 5.5 for half an hour or so but I can live with that.

Anyone have the number for eircom to ring and complain about this?
7 meg package and its always like this now.

Used to hit 6.1 on average...

Owwmykneecap · 27-10-2009 3:39pm

At 2:38.

Will see how it is at 8pm

kenyard · 27-10-2009 10:08pm

on a 1Mb/s line, downloading while testing.. saw posts here and was concerned i was getting ripped off.. actual download speed is usually about 120kb/s

dont know why the ping is so high.. did it to a dublin test from tipperary, im guessing its because i had other stuff running at the time...

anyone have price comparisons of broadbands in ireland at different speeds?

Now, if only I could figure out why I've got p*ss poor download speeds on Azureus... Never happy, huh?

probably his host is where he did the speedtest to - was it digiweb or something i did it to in dublin..? cant remember... :P

that would make it local i would figure..? no?

LFC5Times · 29-10-2009 6:39pm

It says on the Eircom Bill, we have Broadband Business Starter @ €40.00 per month ( includes a download speed of up to 7.6mb and an unlimited download allowance)

Anybody know if we are getting what we are paying for? Works out at €48.60 (incl. VAT)

My Dad's company pay for it, as he needs to use it for work purposes himself when home.

dhidra · 29-10-2009 6:40pm

3mb with UPC.....usuallt fine during the day but between 8-11pm every evening it's a disaster.

isp would still show up since he was connceting to his host through a external ip address - didnt realise that digiweb does internet solutions for consumers. Thought they only did it for Businesses?
