    Ive just recently got a phone line put into my house, after much delay from EIRCOM!!! The thing is I can only get connected at top speed of 19,200bps. This is a real ****er. Ive tried 3 different ISPs on two different computers both with 56k modems. Any suggestions?

    Depends on if they split an existing line belong to the neighbours or if they installed a totally new line from the poles

    They split our line at my old house and the connection went from 50,666 to 28,333

    Its a rough life

    When you say they split the line does that mean the existing line cos i have a seperate line and i can only connect at 33600 on a 56k modem on a good day!!

    That happened to me went from 42k down to 28k, but i phoned them up got it sorted now i connect at 50k smile.gif, only prob is i had to most of the work myself, stuff like digging frown.gif, if u live in a built up area i dont' think u'll have to do that smile.gif

    Yeah, they can split the single phone line into two voice lines, and leave data fsked. Phone and complain, big time.

    Yeah i got on to Eircom and after being transfered about 16 times (including the Multiple Slirocis society????) I finally got on to the 'TEAM LEADER of my area'. He confirmed we were an a 'CARRIER' and rectified it within 24 hours smile.gif
