Vodafone ADSL+2 profiles

Chris The Hacker

Does anyone have a list of the speed profiles that are available to ADSL customers? I'm looking for the one with the best upload speed as I'm a heavy uploader. I understand the physics of copper and how it's affected by distance and noise, etc..

My contract is up with Sky this week and need to make this decision to change over urgently because Sky can feck off with their €50 a month.

The maximum upload on an adsl2+ line would be 2Mb on any profile I have ever seen. That is only possible if you are in spitting distance of the exchange.

Flawed theory. They all have access to the same profiles from Eircom Wholesale. Moving to sky wont help.

Google throws up this: http://www.eircomwholesale.ie/Products/Access/Documents/Bitstream-Service-IPM-v34/

All in there.

What theory? I'm with Sky at the moment and I looking to move to Vodafone because it's cheaper. Another thing I noticed is that Vodafone customers seem to have faster upload speeds than the others that use Eircom's lines.

Thanks for that list anyway, I'll ring them tomorrow and see if they can find a good profile for me.

By theory I meant by moving provider that your upstream would change.

In the odd exchange that is LLU might get a slightly higher upload profile, but AFAIK most arent.

adsl is adsl at the end of the day be it standard or +2, dont expect it to give you in anyway a good upload speed. on the 24mb profile the max upload is 1mb altho in reality you will never see that unless you live in the exchange expect more of a 512kb speed to 750kb if your one of the lucky ones

no timescale for vdsl2 in your area? cant beat a 20mb upload speed altho eircom limit the 50mb profile to 15mb while other providers give the full 20mb upload

Vodafone will generally give you the fastest speed the line can support for ADSL2+ or VDSL2 or in some very small rural exchanges, the fastest exchange speed (which is often 8Mbps in the really small ones)
