'Upgraded' to UPC Horizon yesterday.

With ethernet cable.


On wi-fi

I'm no expert but it looks like you have some wifi issues.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting my ping to improve so dramatically. It should be noted that ping tests on Speedtest.net are not reliable but according to JD's Auto Speed Tester, when pinging Google.ie, my ping went from 30ms on ADSL2+ to 6ms on VDSL2.

It's better than some people's pings on FTTH. Pity I don't have the attention span for gaming to take advantage of it, not that my previous ping was bad either, though, I've noticed websites load a bit quicker.

Speedtest.net pings are ok, just not eniskillen. It pumps out incorrect values all the time.

Yeah, its called Horizon. The integrated wifi antenna is a farce.

Pajor: get UPC to de-consolidate your modem from the horizon box.

Can a separate router be ordered or something? I was thinking of just buying a cheap cable router.

You can either add an access point or getthem to send a cisco unit to take over internet functions and then bridge it to a decent router. If wifi is your only concern then the former will do fine.

Really? Here's my Horizon on WiFi (admittedly, same room):




Range might be crap, but throughput is fine. I use homeplugs (ty Eircom ) and an old router in bridge mode to extend all around my apartment. Its a large duplex I've recently moved to (within the last 3 weeks) and I can't get any WiFi signal from upstairs to downstairs.

efibre just installed this morning atlaast, delighted.






I dont mean to be greedy but someone else in the town further from cab than me is getting 95mb DL and 20mb UL

Thats a good line. I'd give it 24hrs to make sure all is stable then call em and ask for a reprofile.

I personally find the server in Carlow to be shíte! (Sorry BlackKnight :pac:)

I tend to use the few in Dublin and they usually give better results.

That's just me though I guess!

Nice speeds!

Every other provider uses the Eircom network, don't they?
We don't here many problems about Eircom broadband, so I think that there is something a much somewhere.

Welcome to hell that is sky "BB". Just to cheer you up I've seen it as low as 0.6 dl/0.1 ul. Terrible terrible terrible service. Lovely guys on the phone to be fair but the service is dire.

Got sky in yesterday. It started off very pretty with a 12 up 3 down on a few occasions and then after 15 minutes down to 2. Shocking as I wouldn't be expecting much congestion and I am close enough to the exchange I believe.

Will post some snaps tonight as in work now.

bazzz

This is just getting stupid now,I can't believe how bad things are getting with our local exchange(Dunmore East).
Since July the connection speed between 8-12:30 every night has dropped from a slow but stable(for the last 4 years) 6-7MB download speed,
to between 0.5 MB to 2MB.
This is not just my connection but most in the area.We are officially going backwards and getting close to dial-up again:eek:

Here's my current speed.......



Here we are an hour later.......



And we are getting back to normal(regular rubbish speed)...........and breathe;)



Last one.......
