Can we get Pat Kenny in on this?

Had a disappointing new years.. Well don't worry, tonight it's the great DSL upgrade countdown.. woohoo

:rolleyes:

kaizersoze · 20-01-2006 10:22PM

Just in case anyone doesn't know, if you don't know what exchange you're connected to, go to www.smarttelecom.ie and enter your number into the BB line checker and the result will tell you the exchange.:)
@god's toy
Give the Eircom boy's a chance to boil the kettle and have a cuppa. They're probably on overtime for this:D.

TimTim · 20-01-2006 10:29PM

I would of thought changing the speeds on a DSLAM would be a five minute job per exchange...I might head out to my local exchange and camp out and demand my speed increases!

Also, do you get the feeling there is more that could be done with our lives..?

Maybe its just me...

god's toy · 20-01-2006 10:31PM

Yep dude I know,(was just a joke after all) I'm more looking forward to the uploads speed than download. (for Xbox live and stuff)

TerrorFirmer · 20-01-2006 10:31PM

Ok whats the story with this. From 1 to 2mb and 2 to 3mb? And it also says their smallest package prior to this was 1mb

I'm a little puzzled as I'm still on 512k...have been for months.

DonkeyStyle \o/ · 20-01-2006 10:35PM

FIRST to Go

EXCHANGE: Bray
ISP: Esat BT
PACKAGE: Broadband Plus

PING: see attachment
SPEEDTEST: see attachment

have to admit uploading the attachments was a breeze. (in terms of upload time.)

i don't know whether or not to be happy with the download speed, but tbh i'm more happy about the upload speed.

*EDIT*

just checked my router setup and the connection is still interleaved.

*EDIT2*

just added in my download speed for that linux iso that was going round in the broadband speed thread a couple of days ago.

They must have heard ya:D

Gonzo · 20-01-2006 11:45PM

havent been upgraded yet but seems like some of ye guys have interleaving set very low almost off, pings of 22ms and 23ms to jolt is really good

Chong · 20-01-2006 11:45PM

Whats the general consensus aswell are the majority of guys living in Dublin

Obo · 20-01-2006 11:46PM

Exchange: Clontarf
ISP: Netsource
Package: Origin Plus (now 3072/384)
Ping to [url]www.jolt.co.uk:[/url] went from average 30ms beforehand to 22ms after
Speedtest: irishisptest gives me 2.47Mbps/320kbps. A download from heanet.ie levels off at about 315-320KB/s

And no reboot needed. I was testing it for a while to see if it had changed by bouncing the router. Then went off to fix a wireless connection and when I came back it was upgraded.

DJ Hafez · 20-01-2006 11:47PM

nothing in cork yet - well at my exchange anyway.

better come soon before i head to the leaba

CyberGhost · 20-01-2006 11:48PM

Markjf · 20-01-2006 11:49PM

syboit · 20-01-2006 11:52PM
