    Ping is not dreadful but it would make online gaming annoying.
    Your download is absolutely ridiculous, some users have 750 times that speed and your speed can barely load media intensive websites.The upload is not great but it is enough to do any average task.

    I personally would not pay for it.
    I suggest you look for a different provider

    I don't know much about broadband. When i was living in the city I had UPC and it was great. There could be 2 or 3 laptops streaming video with no problems. Now that I'm back living out the country, I have fixed wireless BB. It's 7am & I can't watch videos on youtube. Even after leaving for several minutes, it still gets stuck & i give up! I've done a few tests and these are the results.

    The best: http://speedtest.net/result/2430597216.png

    The worst: http://speedtest.net/result/2430595080.png

    My connection is stated as 1m with contention of 16:1 so download speeds seem ok. I cant find my upload speed stated anywhere but on my ISP's website it states that "Our products have as fast upload, as download, with no limit on the amount of data and the bandwidth available within the same area is more than 10 times as much, as what 3G can deliver.". The tests don't seem to show upload being ANYWHERE near download speed!!!:(

    What do you guys think?

    Switched to UPC yesterday after years of ADSL, being lucky to get 3-4Mb out of a supposedly 8Mb line, this just astounds me.

    The Rural Broadband Scheme as supplied by Hutchison 3G Ireland Limited.
    Puts other peoples complaints into perspective I think? Has anyone a worse result? I doubt it!
