reseting modem
power cycling modem
bypassing router

Exchange: Ferrybank Waterford

No upgrade yet.. still at 869Kbps down.

TerrorFirmer

Still at 440kps down....ffs.....missed out the previous upgrade as well as you can see.

Strange thing is though I normally only ever got 68kps upload for the last age - thats now jumped to what it more or less should have always been - 140kps. Tried tests all last night and this morning, keep getting the same consistant upload. I know it's not much but considering I was on about 70kps on a good day previous to this....

Provider: BT
Exchange: Oranmore

Since the upload speed has increased you may be getting the d/l speed you do because thats all your line can handle. Eircom, BT etc are providing RADSL (Rate Adaptive DSL) so the minimum d/l they guarentee is 256k.
Check your modem/router settings and it will probably tell you the theoretical speed of your line, then you'll know for sure if the upgrade has taken place.

Just looked on Eircoms broadband support page and they are due to be carrying out some work on the Oranmore exchange on the 31st

http://dsl-support.eircom.net/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/&/?St=57&E=0000000000008950600&K=8018&SXI=5&case=8439&branch=4

Suppose you could live in hope that its your exchange thats at fault and not your line.

Guys check your ROUTER page, it probaly says the stock speed (mine does..) mabey its just the tests are wrong!

Ive checked the router configuration statistics and its giving me a Downstream Speed of 1024 kbps.

This is the result of the irishisptest.com/myspeed test.




So.. Im feelin left out here.

Would there be any reason why the BT Service wouldnt have been upgraded off the same exchange?

Nah, I live practically right on an exchange and its a pretty new line so there's no reason why shouldn't be the full whack. My friend who lives very close to me has 2mb bb no problem.

It's really quite annoying. Perhaps, hopefully, the reason mentioned above about work being carried out on the exchange will shed some light

mukki

still no upgrade, in fact its slower then ever

i am on btbb 1mb line in athboy

Valentia

hate doing it cause it take 2-3 mins to get working again

:eek::rolleyes::eek:

I used to get around 850kbs with Esat, but now its around 430!?:( I'm on the ROCHESTOWN exchange in Killiney.

Mysteriously my modems downstream speed claims to be only 512kbps...

gaui3d0pnbz86o

my dl is still 1024 but my ul is 256, maybe im too far out

Hey MobileInfantry, Im on the Oranmore exchange and I've been upgraded 3072/384

getting

2.69 down
310 up

Im with Eircom though, not sure if that would help you.

When I moved in I had to bypass the internal wiring in the house and just hook up to the line that was coming in from the street, somthing inside the house was making me fail, after that i was fine.

Yea I was in Oranmore for the weekend and where I was the new speeds were up 2048/256 -also an eircom line

TerrorFirmer

Fcuk sake.....I got an email back today form BT, fair play to them they were fast about it, but they just told me....you should be on 2048....please ring bb tech help....etc.

And yeah, I used to have crappy problems with stuff like sky digi in the house interfering with modem but all that was sorted ages ago....

Borderfox

Dunshaughlin, done last night 2mbps down 256kbps up YAY

TerrorFirmer

Downloaded now reduced to 320kps..not even dsl at this stage...upload increased again to 160....

Dunno what to think of the whole thing seeing as everyone else in my area is happily blasting away on 2048

Blanchardstown here on BT

Still on 1024. Seems there is a problem with a piece of equipment at the exchange.

I mailed BT and they rang back and said Eircom are looking into it.

Just have to wait.

Anyone else in Blanchardstown in the same boat.?

This thread is for us poor feckers who have not been upgraded.

Quit rubbing it in. :eek:

Hi,

I'm in the Blanch area..and mysteriously, my upload speed has doubled, at least according to the settings in my router(D-Link G604T) ...and since I don't game online, not much use to me..BUT ..my download speeds have halved!! from 1mb per sec to 512k!! have done the speed test online and this confirmed the speeds.

What gives?

Shane O' Malley

Well i would not worry about the download spped measurement to much.

May want to do the test late at night or try downloading from ftp.heanet.ie

See what happens then.

Then again, could be the faulty equipment in the exchange.

Who knows what Eircom are doing to us

Ah jeez, sorry.

I was just reading the thread and saw that someone had posted about their upgrade and followed suit.
It may all change of course. It could be down to 512 and 64 for me tomorrow.;)

Exact same here. Since yesterday my Dl has been decreasing to a measly 320kps....whilst uploading is creeping towards 200kbps! Not a clue what's happening.

FakePlasticMan

Yep..is very annoying!!

methinks a mail to BT is in order. I've looked thru the threads here and cant find any others bar us who are having this prob.

Is typical tho... i don't really care about the upload..and that works fine..

well... give it another day or so and then get angry...

Trotter

Still stuck on 1 Meg, so I rang BT. They said basically they'll look into it but they suspect its an eircom problem in that my line will only take 1meg.

BUT.. Ive already had a pal of mine in eircom check the line and its capable of 5meg. BT wouldnt believe me so they're contacting the eircom engineers....

who will then check the same system and tell them its capable of a 5meg connection.

Can you see my frustration growing here?? :mad:

TerrorFirmer

I have to ring their tech support tomorrow....see where it gets me. Playing Battlefield 2 tonight, lovely pings of about 25 - unfortunately not so lovely downloads about 22kb/s.

Frustration....

Although I rarely download anything really....so in theory makes no odds....but when I'm getting LESS then a quarter almost of what I should be getting I feel really mad about it!

ps - and BT got back to me via email to confirm I am capable of the full 2megs so....I honestly can't believe for the fuppin SECOND time i've been passed over with upgrades. Am I really that unlucky?

alastair_doom

can i please get the email address for customer care at BT?
