    Hi all,
    I'm considering switching to this isp on the basis mine is playing up and this isp offers 1024/1024 for the same price as my 896/128 and a contention of 25-1 compared to my isp's 48-1
    Any one use this isp?
    And what do you think of it?
    Also could you post some speeds tests please?
    Thanks.

    I also edited the newgrange article on Wikipedia with an IP beginning with 212. See if that matches yours?

    If it on the history page it's the same as mine

    I won't post as people will see your ip

    But i don't see your speedtest

    Edit:That reminds me,my sister asked me did i mess around on wikipedia because she was blocked from editing,so that means anyone on Permanet can screw up our editing privileges?

    I see,
    I'm getting very annoyed with permanet too many people are joining and there network is getting throttled badly as a result getting a third of what i should get at some points!

    Thanks,And one more question,do speed and pings get a lot worse during peak times?

    Edit: What speeds are you getting now?

    Just sometimes the connection can drop for a couple of seconds but that is not always during peak times .... compared to all the horror stories I read every day on this forum I am considering myself very lucky here in Ventry
