Broadband Speed & Ping Test Megathread

So mine was 17ms in March and now it approx 25ms average on Think Broadband. It came down about 3 ms last night. My hub says Docsis 3.1 enabled but not sure how accurate that is as I see a number of cmts warnings on channel 33 which is my docsis 3.1 downstream channel. Upload shows nothing so I don't know if that is enabled in the network.

Speeds are all good so it's really just the latency and is also my excuse for being a bad gamer.

Can I ask, have you had your 3.1 channel since you signed up? I've never been able to bind to any and have constant errors with the other channels.

I am not that sure. I probably didn't check in the beginning.

Eir 150mb ftth near Waterville, Kerry. Finally setup this morning after 3 months of issues with ducting.



Torn on if i should upgrade it to 1gb, as i probably don't need it, but it would be nice.

They recently introduced 500Mb for €39.99/month in a 24 month contract. Could be a nice middle ground and set price for 2 years. I know you've had a lot of bother with eir but once connected they are as solid as you can get.

Eir 1000/100Mbps FTTH



I'll let you know when/if I stop smiling.

Eir always had great pings when I was with them, best of all the providers I was with.

Eir's pings are the best in the country with FTTH. I've the service now 4 years and the ping has rarely been more than 2ms, sometimes it's only 1ms.

It is and it isnt.

That test was Eir<->Eir. Really the ideal case. With NGA though they have the benefit of going straight to the dest and not having to encapsulate as far as the RAS.

Its all moot unless you're a 16yo Korean kid anyways

Actually that test wasn't IIRC. That was Eir<->Magnet.

So my posted test was over wired connection obviously. I'm on Wifi at the moment but ran a couple of tests anyway using different target servers and got ping results of either 4ms (Strencom & Ripple) or 5ms (Eir & Magnet).

It wasnt, take the .png off the end of your link.

I stand corrected. My mistake.

Wireless or wired?

I'd be interested to see what you get to the virgin media server. I get 19ms as a virgin customer over ethernet.

Getting meaningful information from you is like pulling teeth...

Eir is not a helpful answer.

By the way I purchased an Eir twin pack Smart Hub package, set them up last night but haven't seen an improvement. I made measurements across various devices in different rooms before and after and nothing noticeable

Can you see from your router stats what you are syncing at? Or whats your speed on a wired test?

Eir may sell you a FTTC package that states 100mb but it will be "up to" so if not very close to the cabinet you may get a lot less (78mb is probably above average for FTTC).

Considering he's on wireless on a different floor. I'd say it's not to bad at all.

Agreed, my point is more that there is a good chance the ISP line speed is the limiting factor and the purchase of the twin pack Smart Hub package could have been a waste as there may not be a Wi-Fi issue to fix.

Ran that three times from same machine as previous results (over WiFi) and got the following ping results from the Dublin Virgin Media server:

28ms
27ms
29ms

Smart Wifi twin pack being returned today made not a jot of difference to the quality of WiFi throughout the house

Back to using the TP-Link AV200 setup to improve weak spots in the back bedroom

Even last night using an Amazon Fire stick on the Samsung TV in the back room there was stalling of the video on at least ten occasions during a 60 minute episode!!

I might have missed this.

What speed do you get hard wired into the f3000?
