ngb broadband

Martron

Hello,

I received a letter a few weeks ago saying that i will be included in a free ngb rollout. and will be upgraded.( Rush Co. Dublin)

its said it will be 8mb broadband and not congested.

However when i went to the eircom website it said that the area was ngb enabled. so i ran a speed check and it came in at 4.2mb ( granted that was quicker than my last connection speed (3mb) but not by any means 8mb)

the ping was higher too and seemed much slower. I use the broadband for gaming and i can see the difference in the connection while playing.

( i tested the line using an online calculator and it said the line is capable of the 8mb )

My main query is will it ever be at the 8mb speed? and will the non congested claim improve?

Thanks

Martin

Sorry for using your thread but great question.I'm in the same boat but not enabled yet?

Can you tell me how you done the line tests for best speed you can get.

I know of speedtest site but not the calculator one

"Next generation broadband" is just a marketing term. It wont improve your line at all.
