    @dohouch:

    You may have done this already but have you called the VF at Home data support people to check that they've actually upgraded your broadand profile to your new download speed limit at their end since you moved provider ? The homepage on your router should also state what speed it's currently limited to.

    I was on Eircom 3MB and found out that VF hadn't changed my profile to the 7MB package when I moved. They'll be able to test the line for you when you ring to check what speed your line should be capable of before changing the profile.

    Contact details in case you need them:
    Freefone: Landline 1800 927 380, mobile 1907 if you're on VF mobile.

    just switched from eircom 3mb to Pure Telecom 1mb today, now i want to got to UPC for the tv, broadband and home phone package, but i dont know if i am still within the cooling off period? i signed up just a few days before christmas, but it only got connected today, from which does the cooling off period start?

    Edit, also why does it say im with UTV broadband?

    i tested my ping and got an a grade then i was streaming a youtube video about 5 mins long. i tested my ping again and got this.

    2v9x35l.png

    immediately after the video finished loading i get these results

    anybody know why streaming 1 video could cause these high pings?

    roguey, you'll have a 7 day cooling off period with any contract, I'd suggest you call your provider asap to find out can you cancel without a buyout fee

    check the attached out...

    red represents the packet loss. Like this every evening on Vodafone's 8mb package. Great during the day, just after 6pm its not useable.

    When people are posting your speed test can you say where you are located . just the rough area, that will give others a good indication of what the speeds are for certain companies in certain areas

    Please tell me how you got this?

    Are you glitching speedtest or you really can download at that speed?
    If so do you work for UPC or trialing DOCSIS 3.0 or what?
