Yes but you're in Wales. Wales. I rest my case.

Sour grapes over the match?? Don't be sour Ireland was putrid as were Wales as for broadband don't get me started.

Anti

That is because virgin and ntl are on the telewest/blueyonder fiber network. One of the most advanced in europe. I remember they did 4mb when everyone else was on 512k.

But, They have alot faster in london, for the last 2 years bulldog has been doing 24mb, and darkfiber is rolling out soon, so somepeople will expect 50-100mb home lines, just like our scandevanian brethren.... ***** that they are

where did you hear this and will upload be increased?

Their customers got some roadmap. Dungarvan has not had an upgrade for years and its high time they got something a bit better than 9mbits as standard.

People have standards you know.

Half the speeds. I am laughing here. There no smillie for laughing. I wish I had half of your 10mb speed. If I could afford it, I be luckly to get 2mb. me on a lowely IBB which is just as bad as dial-up on speed and worst in quailty than dial-up, despite what they tell me. I know what there service is like, I am the end user but not for long..

You are lucky you could get that email out, must have taken hours Was it txt spk U d it in?
Because the speed is sooooo slloooowwwwwwwwwww. It probally took the post instead. so it lost in the post!

Mossys uplink is already better than your downlink.

Dungarvan will also hit a milestone next year that should be widely celebrated in these parts .

Thats 10 years of Broadband (since June 1998), I will send flowers .
