    you haven't mentioned what speed your broadband is, or what speed your friend has.

    slow broadband speed isn't always down to the broadband itself being slow.

    my next door neighbours were complaining that their broadband was very slow (and it really was dog slow) but after I did a spring clean of their PC and cleaned out a ton of spyware, installed firefox and did a RAM upgrade for them it's several times faster and they are as happy as larry. :)

    EDIT: if you can get it, NTL/UPC will be the fastest, but if you're just surfing the net on one PC then any fixed line broadband (DSL or cable) of any speed should be plenty fast enough.

    you really ought to take a look at what you're using to surf with and maybe bring a friend round with a laptop and get them to test it on their PC.

    thinking about it, if you're reasonably close to the old train station in town you may be able to get BT 24mbps.

    stick your phone number into the line checker on the btireland website here: http://www.btireland.ie/check_exchange/

    failing that, NTL is probably your best bet and you can ditch your phoneline completely.

    Congratulations, you are connected to the NAVAN exchange where BT can provide up to 24Mb service

    I'm in Woodlands Estate and have had BT's 24Mb service for almost 2 weeks.

    I am getting fairly constant speeds of 10 - 12 Mb downstream and 0.7 - 0.8 Mb upstream.

    This is up to 5 times faster than Eircom's effective rates on their 3Mb service.
