Broadband Speed & Ping Test Megathread

[Steve]

Supposed to be 24Mb NGB. It it 5pm though, but that shouldn't matter, should it? Pings are nice though.



Tried pingtest with the Dublin server hosted by eircom, it wouldnt work. Typical.


Not bad for eircom could be better...

supposed to be 25mb! Has been consistently shocking every evening for the last couple weeks ---- have been on to UPC, have had the service call, etc..... lets see where it goes!

Improbable

UPC 30 Mb connection here.





Hmm, weird. Have I been upgraded to a 50 Mb connection or something?

Magnet 24Mb:


Fairly happy with it.

Can someone explain to me how, after 3 weeks of brutal broadband speeds on a 3 mb Eircom package, all of a sudden, although inconsistently, I'm now recording the speeds below???

Hi Babypink

I'm in the same boat as yourself - how did you get on? Any tips for me on how best to go about making this complaint and getting it resolved?

I see your ISP is Skytel,shower of gangsters-nobody that has used them has a good word to say about them in Wexford.

If you are a Vodafone mobile customer you can get up to 8Mb fixed line broadband & phone for €38 a month,I average 6.2Mb wirelessly but get your line checked to see what you can get,they do it all for you and free connection.

If your not a Vodafone mobile customer it's €40 a month.

Generally they are not too bad, I had great speeds up until just over a week ago when it just went to hell. Doubt I've gotten more than 1Mb during peak times in the last week. Today it went for a couple hours, was unusable for most things for a good part of the day and still it struggling to hit 1.5ish.

My problem is that my line isnt suitable (eircom cant tell me why) and my house is in a mobile black spot. Had three and o2 dongles before and they were atrociously bad. I dont have too many options.

Vodafone dsl 8mb line

Been on to Vodafone since originally posting the above and bundled my line rental and off peak calls with them(saving a great amount on the way I had it before) and my line picked up in a couple of stages to a very respectable looking result below for my connection:

My upc broadband seems to be working fine now.



It turns out a server (that handles my area) was faulty.
