    The average speed in Ireland is currently 18.7Mb, but it's suffered a bit due to congestion issues since October 2013. You'll find lots of information on this website: http://www.netindex.com/download/allcountries/

    Your ping is a very high, was that a wireless test?

    Wireless speeds deteriorate with distance. If you want to find the true speed of your line, use an Ethernet cable.

    If browsing appears slow you could still be having issues. That high latency may be a sign of wireless interference but it may also be a network problem or somebody torrenting within the house.

    The average for Eircom is:16.71Mb. Eircom has had congestion issues so the average is slow than normal.

    Choose torrents with a high number of seeds. Public torrents are full of leechers who drain the speed from those whom bother to seed.
