    What could be causing such high packet loss?

    Did you reset the modem after the upgrade?

    I changed over from 1MB Eircom to 8MB Vodafone, and nothing whatsoever
    has changed.
    Do Vodafone actually deliver anything close to 8MB to anybody.

    @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?

    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?

    Turn off the firewall on your router and you will not have packet loss.

    Weird i've been trying to get UTV to send me my user name and password, to no avail!

    Then i think lets do auto on the modem and but in your old(was with them prior to eircom) BT ones. Now seen as i've gone BT, Eircom to UTV i thought no but they worked no problem!

    You have to install Java on your PC for the packet loss part of the test to work.

    DONT TURN YOUR FIREWALL OFF!

    i tried that. with it on or off , i got slightly better results with firewall on!

    you are at risk if u leave it off.

    well your not really....NAT protects you from most attacks. NAT closes all ports from the outside inbound unless you have specifically added a rule to allow the traffic through.
