    I would say looking at the Line Attenuation you wont be able to get any quicker then what you are currently on with Eircom which is 3MB unless your exchange has the option of LLU and even at that it might not be any quicker.

    No there is no LLU as far as I know in Rush looks like I'm stuck with it so. It never drops a connection or anything pings are decent enough as well

    In fairness your line stats on the Router and stats above are good so the question is what are your're advantages for moving ;)

    If you signed up for that its unlikely your Router would even synch at that speed. I think your best bet is to wait for LLU to be come available in your area. The other option would be try it with Eircom and within a few days you would notice by checking your line stats and also if the connection is dropping or if you have high pings etc. Just a thought.
