we need more

Just wondering if anyone knows if iol plan to upgrade their bbplus to speeds more than 512k. Its beginning to seem like 56k again:D . Has anyone heard anything about this yet

Gonzo

i dont think iol can do anything about the speeds untill eircom come out first with a new faster option for home users, as iol are reselling an eircom product.

dogz

dont eircom offer a 1mbit radsl service:dunno:

Gonzo

nope:( wish they did, 1mb radsl would be great.
theres very little for the home user to choose from: just 2 different 512k offerings both with small caps that are 4gigs apart.
no unlimited cap option or faster than 512k.

There is the business offerings but they are really expensive and often radsl users cant get the business adsl products as its even more strict. Another downside to the business adsl is high interleaving which gives high pings.

When NTL upgrade their speeds later on this year watch for something then - *maybe* an increase for the top tier customers from 512kbps to 1Mbps and an increase in cap, that would seem very unlikely but the only hope we have:dunno:. Yes 512Kbps is very slow.

Aint no high interleaving here, pings are normal and this is Business ADSL :dunno:
