    Got the BT 'win-back' call today so something must be happening. Offered 2 months free plus another 2 months at half price.:)

    Well I still have broadband but still with BT heard nothing from Smart since I got the modem but got the 'win-back' call from BT on Thursday.

    Line still with BT as well.

    Latest Update:

    Well, I'm finally up and running! Setting up the modem and wireless connection was a breeze and I'm delighted with the connection! I'm not getting the full 12Mb (I max out at around 10Mb) but I'm happy enough with that. Played a bit of Call of Duty 4 last night (quite late) and ping was a superbly steady 50ms. Mind you, I didn't try playing during "heavy traffic" (between 18:00 and 22:00)...

    Took a while to get going but I'm delighted! :D

    Grats on the connection, pretty impressive for non LLU DSL.

    Do you sync at 10Mb or download at that. Can you ping to boards, see what you get.

    I was downloading at 9.5Mbps with GrabIt (Newsgroups) but then I tried a Heanet file and only got 480kbps... Weird I thought... I'll ping to boards.ie when I get home and post results this evening. ;)

    Nothing for me yet. Heard nothing since I got the modem last week.
    Must give them a bell today.

    How did you get your username/password Steffano?

    but those pings come from a magnet connection....

    the digiweb part is the destinatio... its a bit confusing

    Maybe this way is better...

    There is no way you can get those kind of pings through an copper link. That ping is thru a fibre link, they are even better than my magnet FTTH pings!

    These are pings from home thru Magnet, right now

    That's not very good, I'd expect more from FTTH or FTTB whatever they call it. How is it possible?

    :(

    Stupid decisions by Smart.

    It is fibre to the building and then they have a DSLAM in the basement and despite a CAT5 ethernet cable running up to each apartment, they only use it as a standard telephone line and put an ADSL modem in each apartment.

    So you end up getting less then ideal pings like this and limited to only 24mb/s. In fact it is much worse then that, the line is capped at just 13mb/s and you have to run the IPTV service over that also, so you end up getting limited to just 5mb/s BB!!!!!!

    Even Smarts own LLU customers can get better then that.

    It really is a ridiculous situation, you are sitting on brilliant, next gen infrastructure and Smart goes and cripples it and of course, you literally can't go with anyone else other then a mobile mid-band company as there is no cable and no standard phone line.

    Magnet does this much better, I believe they use ethernet from the basement to each apartment, allowing them to deliver 50mb/s BB and the pings you see on this thread.

    So basically, it's not FTTH. It's more FTTC (Fibre to the Curb)? That setup sounds stupid to me alright... Why go through all that trouble to get fibre in and then make it crap by using poor wiring? :confused:

    I believe the term is FTTB Fibre To The Basement/Building, which should be better then FTTC. With FTTB there is no reason why you can't get speeds over 100mb/s if you use high quality gigabit capable Cat5e cable.

    The wiring is actually high quality cat5e cable from the basement to the apartments. The problem is that they only use one pair in the cat5e cable as standard (pots) phone line, rather then an ethernet cable.

    It is smarts choice of using ADSL gear rather then ethernet to cover the last 20 meters that causes the problem.

    I suspect its the difference between using the existing phone wiring that is already in the building, or spending more + disrupt the tenants for the CAT5e.

    I think you misread his post.
    The CAT5 is already in place. They just decided to use only 2 cores of it as you would for a phone.

    You mis-read my post, CAT5e is in place from when the apartments where built. However you can use CAT5e cable as a telephone cable instead of an ethernet cable (actually you can run four separate telephone lines across a CAT5e cable) and that is what Smart are doing.

    There would have been no disruption to the residents had to decided to use ethernet based technology instead.

    Crawler, there still seem to be some gremlins on the site - On the Residential Offnet prces page (http://www.smarttelecom.ie/residential_offnet/residential_offnet_compare.aspx), Smart are offering free connection and/or free wireless modem if you sign up online but you don;'t seem to be able to do for the "Offnet" options (can only do this for "On net") - only by phoning them.
