    .......and it seems they've fixed it. Well, for the past week my speeds haven't gone below 5.5.

    Hope I haven't jinxed it now.

    Erm, most people can't get much higher as eircon decided against using ADSL2, 5+meg seems to be a alrite speed to get after this "upgrade", only people living beside the exchange can realisticly get the 7.6meg

    ADSL2+ has been completed in more than 100 of the largest eircom exchanges to date.

    Are all newly enabled exchanges on ADSL 2?

    Someone from UTV ran a test on my line and said it was capable of at least 12mbits, is this standard enough?

    Update: still getting good speeds. hovering just below 6meg. They said they'd send out an engineer, he never arrived, but the problem is solved nonetheless.

    note: the customer service feller I soke to originally was really good, said things like 'well, you're not gettin what you paid for, that's not good enough.....' during a fairly long conversation.
