Vodafone simply broadband max

Shazer01

Hi. I have recently signed up to the above mentioned broadband package. It's a 24 month contract. Free installation free router and free upgrade to fibre when it becomes available in my area. For €32 per month.
I have had broadband through the phone before. The lines in my area Tramore are capable of 8 meg but are capped at 5. Which means I was getting 3 if I was lucky. With Eircom this cost €57 per month. Quite expensive.
So, this rep which called to the door said I can now get 20.48 meg guaranteed. How is this possible? As far as I know the lines have not been upgraded. He said that this package is great for gaming which I love.
Can anyone tell me if this package is a good deal. And whether the ping will be better than what eircom could provide. How can they guarantee 20.48 megs when Eircom could get nowhere that speed.
There is unlimited download limit with this package as well.
Thanks for any replies in advance.

Anyone have an ideas on this? I am interested in the same question (for a different area)!

Thanks.

If you can get a next door neighbours phone number follow the steps below and it will give you a indication of the speed you will receive.

Pop up when you open the link. Enter number and click continue.

Next step choose I will provide my UAN later click continue

It will say thank you for your patience we are processing your details

Pop up closes scroll down and you will see what speed your neighbours line can handle although you will unlikely get the maximum speed shown in the result when you count other factors like contention etc but it won't be too far off it.
