Only slightly over half the supposed speed, upload isn't great. I'm getting 44-47 on a 50meg connection. 16-17 upload on the 20 meg.0 -

Just got in Eircom eFiber in Lucan. I think it's supposed to be a 70 mbps package. Not impressed. Sometimes I can get a speed of up to 46mbps. But most of the time, it's like above. What is odd is that the upload speed is so much better than the download speed.0 -

Is this a fair result for Eircom 24mb broadband in west Donegal?
It's "up to 24mb". It all depends on how far away from the exchange you are. You should access your router's configuration page and see what your line attenuation is.
1. Go here to access your router's configuration page: http://192.168.1.254/
2. Password: broadband1 (default password for eircom Zyxel routers)
3. Look for line attenuation. It's should look something like this: "29 dB /13 dB"
4. Paste the first number(s) (in my case it's "29") into this webpage: http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/max_speed_calc.php
This is what mine looks like:

Ah, I see you're one of the lucky ones who lives right beside a telephone exchange. In that case, your speed is bad. You should be getting about 9mb more and your upload should be closer to 1.00mb.
Could you post a screenshot of your stats like I have done below?
Make sure your exclude your IP address because that's sensitive information.
Another thing: did you take your speed test from a wired or wireless connection?0 -

Yes the building is just down the road from me, I thought it was only for tv because there's a big tower.
Sorry, forgot to state in my first post it's a wireless connection. I'm in the same room as the router though, laptops never further than 20 feet away from it.0 -

Exactly what I suspected. Your noise margin is horribly low, when it drops below 7.0 db your line becomes unstable. Does your connection regularly drop-out?
You can read more about your problem here: http://www.speedguide.net/faq_in_q.php?qid=355
Best thing to do is contact Eircom about it and see if they can do anything.0 -
