    Eir Extreme, max I've seen is 800 but it's been a consistent 700+ all week, so i'm happy coming 1mbps connection all my life.

    You're using wifi by the looks of things. Use a real device (not a smartphone) and you'll see 940-980Mb.

    No No that's coming directly from the router, it's the Google Mesh system, same speeds on the desktop hardwired in.

    Ahh alright. Normally its closer to the full gig. Would be worth a cable swap just in case.

    didn't think providers here offered that. Looks great. A nice workaround to those in FTTC areas who have lots of cash to pay for 2 lines to increase overall speed. Ping looks a bit high tho.

    MLPPP doesn't work on OpenEIRs platform, so there's a bit of overhead due to a workaround. Ping varies from 12-30 ms at worst. At least it's full 1500 byte MTU.

    The odd provider will do it, but usually only as tailored business package.

    Can any one on the ftth paste ping times to the below:

    quakeworld.co.uk ( uk )
    NL.badplace.eu ( Netherlands )
    Qw.foppa.dk ( Denmark )
    qw2.irc.ax ( Sweden )

    And nyc.qw.traxo.net ( New York )

    Interested to see the response times preferably from wired connection

    Thanks

    It would be cool if someone with siro could do the same for comparison with eir!

    It's actually not that simple. Any of the 8 providers on OpenEIR FTTH and any of the 8 providers on SIRO can vary.

    Different network, different backhaul, different upstream. If you want to compare, then you need one provider that is on SIRO and OpenEIR and then do pings to those destinations on either lines of that provider.

    That’s pretty low latency for Sweden and US - would like to see some Siro results as well please

    I know it wasn't asked but I just thought it'd be interesting to do this on Imagine the supposed perfect solution to all rural woes (not).

    @Marlow Just wondering, how are you testing so many different providers throughout the locations for Siro/eir to the specified Ips above?

    The cab / chamber / man hole / or whatever it is called now, is just at the end of our driveway.

    It seems that I get 0 ping if is use a server from Dublin or Carlow, they would be the nearest to here in Portlaoise.
    Have been told if a ping only hits 0.9 or so, it will not be registered as a 1 .

    My patch cable from Fritzbox to PC is a Cat6a cable, and Cat6a can support 10 Gigabit Ethernet at 100 meters, mine is only 10 meters.

    I'd love to see a few ping tests using Digiweb on OpenEir's FTTH network. I get 2ms to most Irish servers using Eir, but would really like to see Digiweb's performance before making a switch later this year.

    Would also be interested to see Airwire's speedtests using OpenEir's FTTH network as well.

    why don't you try regional broadband FTTH suppose to be unlimited.
