    I would say the ping would be too high.And like a poster above said those speeds arent much better than dial up.

    Where is the modem situated?Have a look out around your gaff for the nearest mast and try and get your modem 'looking' at it as it might improve the speeds.

    Do you have the Ripwave box thing or a proper modem with an aerial on the wall outside?

    Forget it with Ripwave.
    I have their Breeze 4MB service and have never had a problem with it.
    That said I see that they now have €100 installation fee when it used to be free.
