    Hi Folks,

    I'm currently on a 3meg line from Eircom dsl connnection but i'm a bit disappointed with the pings to the UK. The problem seems to be with the first hop. Unfortunetly Eircom are unable to set the 3meg dsl to low interleaving so I'm thinking of upgrading to the Eircom home advanced package but I've been told that its not worth the 10euro month extra. However if i knew that the pings to the UK droped by 10-15 ping i'd go for it.

    I was hoping that someone on this forum with the Eircom Home advantage would post some feedback about the pings they are getting to the UK and also ping the site below so i can guage the difference.

    Thanks

    Hi, I've no experience with eircoms 7mb service but until last nov. I was using their 1mb service for online gaming in uk. Then their pings shot through the roof and after a lot of talking with their tech support I upgraded to 3mb service. This resolved ping problems for a while but they came back in march this year. After numerous calls to tech support and engineer call-outs they decided that it wasn't their problem and they wern't oblidged to fix it! I am now on UPC 10mb and can play online while downloading with bittorrent!!! Ring them and say if they can't resolve your issue you will change provider, at least you might get a reduction in your bill.
