    Just in case anyone doesn't know, if you don't know what exchange you're connected to, go to www.smarttelecom.ie and enter your number into the BB line checker and the result will tell you the exchange.:)

    Give the Eircom boy's a chance to boil the kettle and have a cuppa. They're probably on overtime for this:D.

    I would of thought changing the speeds on a DSLAM would be a five minute job per exchange...I might head out to my local exchange and camp out and demand my speed increases!





    Also, do you get the feeling there is more that could be done with our lives..?

    Maybe its just me...

    Ok whats the story with this. From 1 to 2mb and 2 to 3mb? And it also says their smallest package prior to this was 1mb

    I'm a little puzzled as I'm still on 512k...have been for months.

    here we go,

    FIRST to Go

    EXCHANGE: Bray
    ISP: Esat BT
    PACKAGE: Broadband Plus

    PING: see attachment
    SPEEDTEST: see attachment


    have to admit uploading the attachments was a breeze. (in terms of upload time.)

    i don't know whether or not to be happy with the download speed, but tbh i'm more happy about the upload speed.

    *EDIT*

    just checked my router setup and the connection is still interleaved.

    *EDIT2*

    just added in my download speed for that linux iso that was going round in the broadband speed thread a couple of days ago.

    Exchange: Clontarf
    ISP: Netsource
    Package: Origin Plus (now 3072/384)
    Ping to [url]www.jolt.co.uk:[/url] went from average 30ms beforehand to 22ms after
    Speedtest: irishisptest gives me 2.47Mbps/320kbps. A download from heanet.ie levels off at about 315-320KB/s

    And no reboot needed. I was testing it for a while to see if it had changed by bouncing the router. Then went off to fix a wireless connection and when I came back it was upgraded.
