Got Eir broadband installed this morning. Seemed great initially but now the DSL connection keeps dropping intermittently making it impossible to watch Netflix etc and really irritating overall.

Tech support say the line has been set to 90Mbps but it may only stably support less than that. So they're going to reduce it.
