    Hi,

    Some companies advertise upload up to 200 Mbps with Fibre to the House, is that possible?

    Companies in my county (Galway) only offer 100 Mbps upload claiming you can only get 10% bandwidth as upload. Is there a way you can have upload speed of 20% of your connection?

    Siro used to offer it but it is no longer available for new provisions - so even if your current ISP can give it to you, if you switch away from them your new ISP will not be able to maintain the 200Mb upload part.

    yep 100 upload is the maximum upload speed you can get from any provider under a new plan. Eir has always been 100, Siro is now 100 also. Virgin Media still has a maximum of 50.
