    I notice it runs a custom firmware for the tests. Do you know if they load a useful firmware when test finishes?

    It runs a modded version of DDWRT I think, not 100% sure though.

    They produce a monthly report at the end of the month which tells you how your line is getting on so I guess this would be considered very useful.

    Installed about 3 weeks ago. Hoping vectoring hasn't been enabled yet, as I look forward to seeing higher speeds down the line. Overall really happy, bar a few minor hiccups.

    ~150m from the cabinet and Wired test.

    Wonder if this would be of benefit to gathering detail for anyone. I have received and install their box this morning. Not for fibre, but for standard BB

    How much speed do you want?

    Whatever the line is capable of - which currently stands at 100+.

    You line may be capable, but one does not receive this. I believe that is a drop off of speed depending on distance from cabinet. If I am not mistaken.

    You're on the 70 profile and getting 67. I'm on the 50 profile and getting 48. I'm delighted with that. Don't take much notice of attainable speeds as mine vary hugely daily. A great service. It's only when I have to endure someone else's bad bb that I appreciate my fibre service.

    I was on 50 until yesterday, when I rang up and had them increase it to 70.

    Perhaps you don't need the extra 20, but I use it to download games (40+GB in size), play First person shooters competitively, and stream video (among other things).

    If I'm paying the money and a greater speed is available, I'll take it :D

    These were my speeds a while back after getting VDSL installed:

    Can anyone suggest why my speed has dropped to this? Both test's were done wired with nothing else on the network. Cheers.

    So, in other words, the reason why you're having a little winge is because you begrudge is stats/speeds?

    If you were actually content with your speeds, you wouldn't be whining about others wanting faster speeds. Grow up.

    The point I was making is not to put too much belief in what the router is telling you. Be happy with your lot. Me or my children use the Internet for all the things you do and after enduring 5 months of hell with Sky bb we're delighted to have a decent reliable service back again.

    What's your problem??? Nowhere in my post did I say I wasn't content with my speeds quite the opposite in fact. To be getting almost the full of my given profile is fine by me.

    Then why are you comparing your speeds to his? Are your jealous of him or something? What's all the fuss about?

    Stop what? You're the one making a big song and dance just someone with faster speeds than yours wanting even more.

    I suggest familiarizing yourself with the lesser evil fallacy because you will help you realise the stupidity of your posts.

    I think they've given you all they have to give at this stage:D My attainable speeds are all over the shop these last few weeks going from a heady 101 down to as low as 42 when I'm getting 47-48 consistently. As long as it stays consistent I'm a happy camper, anything is better than the 0.3meg I had to endure from 7 to 11 each evening with sky BB. I tried to squeeze an extra drop from an Eircom rep but he wouldn't budge me from the 50 profile. He told me to call later in the year, presumably when vectoring is enabled on my cabinet.

    I got my box this morning but the light on the right (two circular arrows) just keeps flashing at either a slow speed or a fast speed. With the desktop connected to the white box I don't have an internet connection either:mad:. Not impressed...

    Kind of sounds like a DNS issue or maybe even an IP one.

    Make sure there's an Ethernet cable going from your router to the WAN port of the Whitebox then connect your computers to the white box.

    Also try resolve the issue with the Windows?

    It seems to be a dns issue as the av auto updated but page not displayed is on the browser. Windows diagnostic says dns couldn't be resolved. When the desktop is connected directly to the Eircom router everything is perfect. Atm the Whitebox is turned on and connected to the Eircom router as per the instructions but the 2 circle light continues to flash. I have the desktop connected to the Eircom router.

    I've tried rebooting it several times but that bloody light just keeps flashing and flashing. I can't see it on the network at all, it looks like the Eircom router isn't giving it an IP, most annoying. The router is bog standard i.e. All the settings are unchanged bar I turned off the firewall.

    Is anyone finding it difficult to log in to their Eircom router? I find mine very hit and miss (mostly miss) the page greys out and the arrow just keeps spinning. I get best results using IE. My stats are in steady decline, download speeds have dropped from 48 to 40 my snr was 18 is now down to barely over 8, attainable rate has fallen from 87 to 44 very worrying.

    That would worry me if I were you, I checked my own stats and I am thankfully still on 100/20.

    Why not give Eircom a ring and see what's going on?

    Eircom support are terrible, all they seem to understand is if I have a connection or not. Their attitude is, ah shur you have a connection whats your problem? Do you want eVision? Blah blah blah.

    I agree that they are useless, but if you pester them they eventually sort it.

    I had to ring them up 4 times in relation to a problem I had before they fixed it.

    They do get things done, but unfortunately it's at their own leisure.

    1) If I could get one that I could understand it would help enormously.
    2 ) An agent who actually understood the router stats and stopped treating me like an idiot would also help.
    It's a wonder they didn't try to tell me my house was moving away from the cabinet!!
