    I oredered Magnet 8meg in Sanyford area. After i connected hardware i got only 1,5meg and 128kbps. HORRBILE!. They told me - some internal wiring issues. BUL****. So now i go back to my good Digiweb 3mbps/384 witch was perfect before but limits 40gig.

    Considering that Eircom only allow Annex.A for LLU providers, and the maximum upstream with Annex.A is 1 - 1.2Mb/s then that speedtest is completely inaccurate, on at least the upload capacity, and probably the download capacity as well.

    Seems there server doesnt support my upload, as my upload is the same as my download, tested to a london ftp server and i get almost 11MB upload and download, i have seen it at 14mb as well

    100MB in just over 1 minute

    are you on ADSL2+ or the FTTH system.

    Also, i finally got back to magnet today.
    4.5mbps to the Dublin one, and about 5.5mbps to London & Amsterdam, and 4.2mbps to Sweden :-)

    This gives a nice overview overall.

    Of Ireland in general, you can click on the upload tab too, but bare in mind the upload for magnet is boosted also since they contain users on Fibre

    A friend of mine in the Dublin 11 area just got Magnet installed last night. I did a speedtest and he's getting 7.1Mb down and 636kb up. He's using the phone line...

    Is this a test for a product they will release?


  • Registered Users Posts: 226 ✭✭gqma0


    No idea but I'm not trying to find out

    Did a few test again tonight from different servers

    The best speed I got was 18Mb in Download

    checking some other countries, those stats beat Japan !?? I thought they were on much higher speeds. That can't be possible
