Broadband Speed & Ping Test Megathread

The way things are going with my eFibre connection I'll be back to 8 meg soon. My speed is almost half what I was originally getting when I was connected back in December. I was getting 48/19 today it's 23/12. Not good at all.

Did you get Evision too?

I'm starting a free trial of eVision next Tuesday afternoon. Would they have dropped my speed already? According to the router stats my profile is now 34/15 with my attainable rate now down to 41/20. I'm posting from my phone so the figures aren't exact.

Yes, when we went with evision we were moved off a 50/20 profile onto a 34/20 one for stability. It's been good though!

Thanks for that. I'll see how it goes. The TV I'm connecting it to is upstairs with the router downstairs wired to a desktop. How do they connect to the eVision box?

As far as I'm aware they use powerline adapters from the router to the eVision box.

The Ennis server isn't right, don't trust the pings from it.

Ages ago loads of people were getting 0 pings.

I'm on what Vodafone label as "a non standard delivery line" capable of delivering 1Mb max download speed. Currently my synch speed is 503kbit/s, which is par for the course for me. On a recent visit an Eircom engineer said my line was delivering 1.2Mb/s. What has changed recently after a modem re-boot is that the info is displaying my line as ADSL2+ rather than the usual ASDL2, but with no increase in speed. Any ideas as to why the Line standard should change & what can I now expect? Should I now leave the router/line connection be to learn & possibly develop somewhat higher speeds in the future or is that just folly?

The line standard probably changed because the modem has detected an upgrade at the exchange via the line. Just a guess. You won't see a change unless a fibre cabinet is nearer to you. The Exchange is 5km away.

There's a fibre cab 2.2km - road disatance away, but God only knows what way the lines travel.

Very impressive for WiFi. I think didn't eircom's routers were capable of that speed.

That really is incredible.

I've a new laptop, and am on the 70/20 profile, yet only get 30 wireless.

It all depends on the wireless card in the laptop too. People getting great wireless speeds with MacBooks.

Ive gotten it with my Macbook and gaming PC on wireless. PC is using a dongle

Here's the wired Macbook test

how far are you from the cabinet?

If you have line stats can you post them up (Noise margin, Attenuation etc.)

Solid connection!

No don't have them, there are two cabinets within distance not sure which im going off, 178 metres from one and 220 from the other

It would be interesting to see them.

192.168.1.254 <--- Put that in your address bar and login.

Go to system monitor, click ''xDSL statistics'' and screencap it.

Your getting incredible speeds being further than I am from the cabinet.

I suspect your attainable is through the roof!

AlanS181824 · 05-06-2014 10:05pm

I wonder will we ever see Eircom using the 30a profile in use or will Eircom milk this for as long as they can.

_Whimsical_ · 05-06-2014 11:43pm

Mine wired

Mine on wifi just upstairs from the modem,no real obstacle bar stairs.

AlanS181824 · 10-06-2014 10:34pm

And the Ping Test to go with it!

nc6000 · 13-06-2014 10:45am

Quite a difference between my Vodafone Speedtest result and the one in the previous post.

That's true but you're still getting very respectable speeds nonetheless!

When Fibre does come to your area which you can check on the Eircom website then depending on how far/near you are to the Cabinet you could get speeds similar to mine!

Or maybe even better if you're really close :P

plouto · 16-06-2014 9:41pm

hi can any one tell me if BT broadband can you get this still in ireland

plouto · 16-06-2014 10:41pm

jca · 16-06-2014 10:43pm

Sky use the BT gear in the LLU exchanges.
