Hurry up

Clondalkin (Nangor Road Exchange) got upgraded during the night

DSL now 3072 / 384
ISP Test is showing 2.11 Mbps down / 326kbps up
Average Ping to boards.ie is 11ms
Average Ping to Jolt.co.uk is 19ms

Pings are certainly inproved but I never had a major problem with them anyways. Although the upload is greatly improved I have a concern with the download speed which while improved a bit its lower than I expected. Should a 3Mb line be only getting 2.10 Mbps. When running ISP Test the download speed initally starts off at 2.67 Mbps but quickly drops to 2.10 and then remains there for the rest of the test.

Hi,

Anyone know what is happening with the Blanchardstown Exchange.

My home connection with BT is still stuck at 1024/128 and the Office connection on same exchange With Eircom) went from 4M/256k to 5m/386K Thought it was supposed to go to 512k upload.

Anyone else seeing strange results in Blanchardstown. Assumed that one upgraded would be all upgraded.

The upgrade work is due to continue until 6pm this evening. Hang in there.
Not trying to be smart but are you sure you're connected to the Blanchardstown exchange? Sometimes there can be a couple of exchanges covering the same area.
Put your number into the line checker here (http://www.smarttelecom.ie) to make sure.

Shane O' Malley · 21-01-2006 11:55am

Yes, Tried that

Both home and office on same exchange.

And i saved downloading a couple of movies waiting for the upgrade.

Yeah same here on Monasterevin exchange,im about quarter of a mile from exchange but pings are almost same as before for me also,disappointing.
Downloads are 330kbps but i wanted nice pings.
Wonder what the story is with this exchange.

Download speed is flaking away at a handy 250+KB/s and upload speed is now at 38 to 40KB/s. Tried the ISP test, and while there was definitely improvement over yesterdays test (especially in upload), the tester must be gettin hammered so will wait and see for a proper result in a week or two. Got a ping of about 23ms from boards.ie, not bad really?

The upgrade makes a hell of a difference for bittorrent I can tell ya!

Cheers BT!

oh yeah and does anyone know if the increased 30GB cap applies for the month of January, or will it only start from Feb?

Anyone else seeing strange results in Blanchardstown. Assumed that one upgraded would be all upgraded.

Nope, each exchange can have multiple ASAMs. One of the three Blanch ASAMs had issues prior to the migration so it might not have been upgraded yet.

Looks like UTV have updated speeds although I can't see anything on their site. I have the 'Clicksilver 1mb' connection. About 4 days ago it was half these speeds.

Speedtest result from www.irishisptest.com/myspeed
Download Speed is 1.70Mbps
Upload Speed is 201kbps
Quality of Service: 99%
Round Trip Time: 23ms
Max Pause; 44ms

I have had generally good service from UTV. Only an hour or two downtime in 2 years that I was aware of. The only other thing was I had to get specific server numbers sent to me when I upgraded my Entourage program on a Mac a few months ago. They said there was some kind of incompatibility with their mail servers and Entourage. It meant that I couldn't send mail. Cost is €30 per month plus Eircom rental.
I'll probably go with Smart when they upgrade my exchange.

Thanks for that. Explains a lot.

Had problems with the dsl lines at work also over the last month and now this.

Was getting a little paranoid
