    I was at home at the weekend and my parents have Eircom. Not sure what package/speeds but the internet is TERRIBLE. So much so, that YouTube clips won't even stream in real time, or even close to. You have to wait for it to buffer ALL of the time. Playing a game (even a simple one such as SongPop!!) is hassle also. Is there any reason this could be?

    Hi purplecow1977

    Can you DM me with your parents telephone number and the current speeds they are getting and I will look into that for you.

    Thanks, Mark
