Wired connection using 500mbps home-plugs

My upload speed seems to be back up to what it should be from the last few months when it was languishing around the 11mbps mark

flexcon

Just got our Sky Fibre in a few days ago, was initially at 50mbps but since today has peaked to this ( was told it could take a few days before it gets stable )

Approx 200 meters from the cabinet

Is that a wireless connection?

This is my current speed on 300mbps wireless card

I was invited to the SpeedTest beta, results are so much prettier now!:pac:

Edit: Nevermind, images aren't working so here's a link.

Upload is pathetic, but happy enough with download until fibre comes along!

Calibos

Upgraded from UPC's 120mb package yesterday.



Very happy with that

Cork981

Vodafone 4G but should be classed as broadband.
Faster than my fttc at times.

Pings sorta high to most servers today..

Modem set to 17Mb/s on ADSL2+ most estates around us can get eFibre but we can't not sure when or if ever we will get it .:(

pudzey101

Anyone tell me if this is ok for a 200mb/months direct conection ?

Apparently the apartment I'm in don't have fibre so that's going through the phone

Eircom vdsl installed today....



Line syncing at 51Mbps/20Mbps but modem gives attainable rate of 99.9/33.2 so there's a bit more to squeeze out of it.

Was getting very low speeds for my 240mbp pack with UPC. so i purchased the Belkin AC1800 Dual band wireless router (down from £180 stg to £40stg on amazon.co.uk) ... 2.4 for some devices, 5ghz for ipad air, iphone 6, HTC One M7 all hitting 145-160mbp will hook up the MAc Book Pro and see what that hits but the wired desktop really went mad from 140mbp to 245... good stuff now

Belkin was up and running in less than 5 mins including a firmware upgrade... just put the Cisco 3925 into Bridge mode and connected the Belkin, job done.
Just remember to add a password to the admin panel.

Only thing i will add to this is the "Intellispeed" feature or QoS... I turned it on and input the speeds and it killed my download speed so i just turned it of again.

Seems ok so far. A marked difference on the 8mb/s anyway.

Changed from Sky upto 24MB (had 17MB) to upto 100MB

only live for 15 hours so far, but I am pleasantly surprised at the speeds I'm getting, the cabinet is a reasonable distance away, (about 350 Mtrs as the crow flies, but probably nearer 400 with the twists in the road and internal wiring here) and the copper has been there for nearly 25 years, and out of use for the last 5, we've just moved from Imagine WiMax to Imagine Fibre, apart from a glitch with the provisioning system at Imagine's end, it was relatively painless, and the increase in speeds is very welcome, especially on the upload side of things,

It will be interesting to see how it settles over the next while, but for now, I'm not going to complain. I certainly didn't expect to see pings this low, there's clearly not a lot to worry about on the copper side of things.

Imagine are using a Huawei router, which I have no experience of, the biggest hassle was getting in to it to change the DHCP settings to allow my fixed IP printers to work and not cause problems, and to allow my second WiFi unit to be excluded as well, so far it all appears to be stable.

The Smartphone is getting about 40 down and 12 up, which is also welcome, and that's on WiFi, using a TP Link router that's slaved with the Huawei.

Are they running with the HG659 as well or whats the unit they chose?

658C, and I don't know if they have changed anything or not, the user log in is the standard Huawei (or it was till I changed it:))

Not sure if it needs a few days to settle, they reckoned that it could get between 70 and 90, which seems high for the distance the cable runs from the cabinet, but hey, anything's better than .5 upload, which is what was happening with WiMax, and 50 to 60 down is also a big help.

This is my home wifi... "Fast" wireless internet:D
We are supposed to get 3down 1up but its unlimited downloads!
Look at the ping in that second image!! Its practically satalite internet!!

Made some improvments, not bad for wireless over 20km with two hops

Are you on a private WISP setup?

Just asking as you have blocked out the ISP.

Surely piggy backing someone else's network is in breach of the terms and conditions signed by the person who's name is on the bill.

That is not the case here.

Brand new Eircom connection in the town of Patrickswell, co. Limerick. The house had a very old phone line that was not used for a number of years, so the helpful Eircom engineer actually replaced the wire from the pole to the house.

No fibre in Patrickswell yet, but I think NGB is here.

It was a wee bit slower on the default server, I changed to the Dublin one because it's run by Eircom.

EDIT: default server, same connection:

DaveSuarez

I have an issue with Eircom fibre where the connection just drops for 30 or 40 seconds. It could happen up to 3 or 4 times an hour some days. Anyone have any idea what could be causing it?

Nice! Have a brother who cant get decent broadband where he is located, he'd love something like that, any way you can share the secret?

Latest speeds now it's been in a while, the router has settled down, and the (25 year old) line has been checked out as well, and it's working better than I was expecting, given the distance to the cabinet, it's close on 500 Mtrs allowing for the twists and turns, we are the last on the line on our estate, so I wasn't too optimistic about the likely results, so this has come as a bonus.

At last, it's possible to do some serious work on these things.

Jaysus, I'd love some speeds like that. 8MB max here in the sticks. Aw well.
