    I've decided its best to create a single thread to cover speed and ping tests, you can see the old locked threads for speed and ping tests still though.

    This thread will give info on speed achievable and also ping test results which will be beneficial to gamers.

    Rules before you post:
    - You MUST post a speedtest from speedtest.net
    - You MUST post ping test results from pingtest.net
    - You MUST post your ISP (product type also ala cable, adsl etc)
    - If you want you can post your location
    - NO off-topic discussions
    My results:
    ISP: Opal Telecom

    mmmmmmm, I think I'm being lied to, It must be the vodafone switchover that has made my internet/phoneline desperate because it happened around the 31st of october (remember halloween night) even though when I rang vodafone they insisted that it had not been switched over yet and I had to contact BT

    Ya this vodafone at home seems to be s shocking service so far and as for support your just told one thing by one person and another thing by the next.

    Are phonecalls okay for you? do they sound clear & I've emailed Vodafone over the issue & posted in the vodafone forum on boards.ie so they have to deal with it quickly.

    I've got clear calls now that eircom have finally fixed the fault on the line. to be honest i'm totally sick of this service and fed up with calling them everyday

    Drogheda. Eircom 7mb.

    5 mins before that Ping test, I got an F grade from Dublin server!

    It's awfully slow this afternoon. My speed keeps changing. If I test it at 2am, I think I get 5.25 mb - 5.50mb speeds.

    Are other peoples speeds always consistent all day? Am I being ripped off with this kind of speed during the day? Is it Eircoms fault or something else??

    hi have eircom 7mb bb, live about 1 mile from the exchange.
    just bought a DLink Dir 825 router and billon modem (for bridging), and its for the playstation 3 network.

    im having a problem, did a ping test on pingtest.net and i cannot get a packet loss test, is there any setting or way i can fix this.

    Can anyone help me understand these results please? What does all this mean exactly? (I understand the speedtest one though except for the 'ping'). I'm with BT/Vodafone. Yesterday my speedtest result stated Vodafone was my ISP. Today it says IOL.
