3mb Eircom - Cork... Is this a poor result? I've no idea really and wondering whether to change to a different company.

jay93 · 15-04-2010 3:43am

619C · 15-04-2010 11:07am

Nova Networks by the look of it? Not sure tbh but this site is not somewhere you would think that there would be any LAN but there you go....

Cryos · 15-04-2010 6:52pm

Eircom BB 3meg off NewtownMK exchange here in wickla:

LarM · 16-04-2010 5:57pm

supposedly "7.6mbps" eircom line...

Lucan County Dub

tweeted eircom support after seeing the abysmal results i got this afternoon, achieved these speeds in retest a short time later.... hopefully im not tricking myself into thinking a lot of it wasn't congestion.... in any case much happier with this speed on my line.

ryanch09 · 17-04-2010 5:43pm

ISP: UPC Ireland 10mb

Not what i was hoping for but if i do magnet.ie speed test i get roughly 10mb with 27ms ping so quite happy with that. Also the fact that im on a wireless connection might change things a bit:cool:

You might like to try and go to 192.168.1.1 and go to FIREWALL click options and disable IP FLOOD DETECTION to get a much better result from pingtest.net

roadrunnerz · 21-04-2010 8:12pm

does anybody know what the story is with vodafone, signed up for up to 3mb and paying for it only getting 0.25Mb...i am in north kildare/?? anybody else have the same issues used to be with Eircom and paying for 2MB difference is that i was getting what i paid for

Spaceweed · 21-04-2010 11:02pm

Co.Waterford, in the country a good 4km from the exchange, 7.6 service, acceptable anyway.

I was wondering, anyone got Magnets Bolt Network outside Dublin? I'd like to see whats kind of service and ping you are getting.

(Btw on a different speed test my QoS was rated at 99%! thats mad)

ItsJusMe · 22-04-2010 4:07am

UPC 10 Meg..

Happy enough for now..
Just waiting on my free upgrade to 15 Meg.. :pac:

gruby · 22-04-2010 10:51am

Eircom Bussiness Starter 8Mb/800K, in Athy

Not satisfying to me as need 750K for my VOIP software and VPN. Called support, they see nothing wrong with the line, it's ADSL1 and they can guarantee 400K only and all above is fluctuations

Lavr · 22-04-2010 6:32pm

Tallaght, Dublin
10Mb down, 1Mb up

Close enough, I guess!

Goldenquick · 23-04-2010 8:01am

flame123 · 23-04-2010 9:13am

Carpenterstown, Dublin 15.
I am on a 3MB with Eircom, having issues for well over a year now. Eventually, an engineer from Eircom called yesterday and was the most rude, unpleasent guy I have ever spoke to from Eircom.

After he left this is what I am getting aaaaggghhh!!!!

What do I have to do to get Eircom to address this issue....They are impossible to deal with

flame123 · 23-04-2010 5:59pm

:(:(

flame123 · 23-04-2010 6:44pm

I honestly have no explanation for the change in speeds compared with my previous posting above.....

Takeshi_Kovacs · 24-04-2010 2:36pm

2mb Permanet connection

Pretty depressing considering how it is costing ~ 45 euro p/m

theres a whole thread here about VF having severe problems with there service to be honest i suggest you leave them as soon as you can by the looks of it things are going to get worse they say they are upgrading but nothing has changed....

utv 3mb always soo good:D:D pitty it not mine im using VF at home and its worse than dial up;)

Eoin_Sheehy · 25-04-2010 6:06pm

We've a largely uncongested Eircom fixed line, 1MB, the results could be better but I'm not too upset.

This one is Irish Broadband via Little Island Mast Co. Cork

Fionn_McCool · 27-04-2010 7:50pm

Leaving Casey's in a month or so for the 24mb Vodafone with Home phone bundle, although i've been with casey's since their start-up.

They charge too much tbh, leavin them for tv also, save myself at least 150euro a month between the three
