    cheers Tazzle for that. see iam not convinced that upc will have that ping for 12 months. I called upc and asked the sales rep about latency.. and what a joke. the poor girl didnt have a clue what i was on about. you can see why i dont have much fate in UPC. imagine a car sales rep asking you "What is miles per gallon"

    any way another issue who be throttling. And not only on torrents but in every thing. I have IIB wireless and they throttle every thing!!! when i try and dl a game on steam i would be very lucky to get 100k.
    Is this the same on UPC in cork city/ballincollig. can any one give any speeds at peak and off peak times?

    looks at post across the boards it looks like Cork isn't having a problem like the rest of the country.
