Eircom Broadband

Have the homestarter plus package (think thats the one) from eircom. Since the upgrade the speeds for downloads are sweet 200+ kbps, but after about 15-20 mins the dsl disconnects for a second and appears to reconnect at a lower speed as downloads only sit at 12 kbps, any ideas? anyone else getting this?

I'm connected the last 164hrs and from http://www.hoki.com/speed/ I see that my speeds are down 862.4Kbps and up at 92.0Kbps

Thats also using Eircom Basic broadband. Summerhill Exchange. My last few days before moving to Smart.

Cheers,
Peter

Have a look at what speed your router is actually connecting to the exchange with. It could be that the line quality is causing the speed/connection to vary/drop. If you can get the line quality from the router post that as well.

I was on to Eircom DSL tech support the other day about something, the guy was saying they are having serious problems since this upgrade (no kidding). He reckoned they had thousands of calls logged.
Almost everybody is having some sort of problem since the upgrade, I'd say just wait and see what happens, it'll all be straightened out eventually...
