    Just tried a wired connection and am impressed :) Only supposed to get 50MB, and didn't get a text about being upgraded.

    Don't complain :P

    So is your wireless still causing trouble?

    150mb UPC

    Went from 24mb NGB Eircom (which was 5mb really never got more).

    I did get 110mb on one test but tbh compared to what it was and the issues i had i can live with the above.

    After your speedtest has finished, you'll see a "forum link" to copy and paste on here.

    I looked at your pingtest result. You need to lower your router's firewall to get a proper test.

    Only a mile or so from the exchange. I wish I lived closer. Oh well, decent enough.

    Just checking the internet in the house before I get my new PC tomorrow.
    Not bad for wireless seen as I'm paying for 60. :)

    hi harry, yes fiber, its called the 'eircom Fibre Broadband 25', so that's download speed of 25MB, and a usage allowance of 100GB and that's €40 pm, I also have the phone (talk anytime) with them so all in it's €55 pm.

    Thanks for replying. What's the advertised upload speed? The download cap is disappointing. I hope it improves by this time next year because that's when I should be upgrading, I hope.

    Do you know what other packages are available?

    Are you working for them? That price is extremely bad.

    Yes it is a massive €6.75 pm more than the present Sky offering which from reading other threads on here has had a lot of teething problems.

    According to their TV advert they don't. But I can't remember what figure they said they are offering for downloads. It was an advert about their bundles.

    There is no cap with Sky. Its unlimited.

    I should say that they do have a "lite" option thats free but thats a 2gb cap and is geared only towards people primarily looking for the phone/land line only.

    Details here
