    Hi, I'm finding my connection is really slow the last few days, but I have no clue about any of the technical stuff. All I can say is; I live in Stillorgan, I'm have Irish Broadband "Ripwave" and that the download time is like the 38K connection in my parents house in Wicklow.

    Any ideas?

    Speedtest there.
    All I know is Ripwave is a bit unpredictable... I'm sure plenty of users here will help you out with more technical stuff.

    Cheers man.

    I tried it a few times and kept getting different results, ranging from 20.8Kbps to 176Kbps none of which were that great.

    Ripwave is notorious for being crap - actually IBB are notorious for being crap :)
