Its Asymmetric. They demo'd symmetric in some shopping center but were never going to deply that, kinda scummy but on par for the ISP game.

When did that happen? I was always under the impression that they were promising to offer the symmetrical speeds....

When SIRO launched several users asked and they confirmed GPON.

So was I and I was suprised when installer showed me the speediest today. He said it's 20% of download speed. He said during trial it was asymmetric. I agree that it's misleading as the Vodafone site doesn't specify an upload speed. I must ring them about it to double check my plan is setup right and that installer didn't make a mistake. Siro have vids on youtube demoing symmetric speeds.

Exactly... Their information is a little bit vague if i say so myself. It is little bit disheartening but nothing we can't get over!

Anyone here using Imagine LTE broadband? What kind of speeds are you getting with it?

Been hearing ads about it on the radio that they are going rolling it out in Kerry to sort out the broadband black spots

so i tweeted siro last night to ask were speeds supposed to be symmetric and they never replied and deleted my tweet.

EDIT ## this is not correct actually, was my lack of experience with twitter, tweet is still there.

I was under the impression it wasnt possible for them to delete tweets they didnt send.

EDIT:
"Sligmagy ‏@sligomagy 14h14 hours ago
@SIROIreland is the broadband speed supposed to be symmetric or asymmetric? Had it installed recently n upload is about 1 fifth of Download "

Ah ok I take that back then, I don't use twitter often but looked today and couldn't find the tweet. Didn't realise they couldn't be deleted.
To be fair strictly speaking I should have directed that question at vodafone at they are the retail agent and siro is wholesale.

Had a look a lil deeper at it here:

Hi, just got Eir eFibre installed yesterday and this is my speed, is it decent?

In the Kanturk town. Using the Eir f2000 modem. It has 2.4g and 5g, what is the difference between them?



Thanks

No real expert but 5g will be faster if your phone etc will support it, it doesn't go through walls etc as good as the 2.4g though. To get a proper speed test connect directly to the f2000 with an ethernet cable to your laptop/pc.

ED E

Looks like 30_8 Mb spot on, so wireless wont make a huge difference. Testing with a cable will confirm. Its on the lower end of VDSL, but not terrible.

Results seem fine, but why so laggy and playing vids near impossible, especially since receiving a phone call from Vodafone and declining their Vodafone TV offer.

Just moved broadband supplier over here in Korea.
I was paying about 35 euro for a 50mb connection(SKT)...they said it was meant to be 100.

Moved to KT today. Paying 40 euro for TV and Broadband now....but it's slightly better

That was with my TP-Link VR900

This with the vodafone modem



Figure I'll need to use their own and see if same problems occur.

SeantheMan

This is the mobile phone internet service from SKT here(I think it's 5G) (not my home wifit)- using mobile Speedtest

ED E

Its 4G or 4G+.

edgari0kas

can't even complete the speed test tbh here in Castleblayney , Oram this is happening

0.01 mb/s

I'm sure you could call eir support and get them to check if it can support anymore

I recently upgraded and got 30mb down and 8mb up then get increased to 40mb down and 9mb up

Niemoj

How do people get the speedtest result to show up like that from the app? Like where it says the device underneath and stuff?

Hank Scorpio

Getting upgraded to fibre tomorrow, will post results. Here's what I got at the moment, looking forward to the increased upload.

The ping time is freakin insane

very nice, your ping time on adsl2+ was good as well.

100mb connection so can't complain.

MichaelR

Eir DSL, billed as 17M, co. Limerick.



I am mainly posting this for later comparison. I have ordered upgrade to eFibre; the line is eligible for "up to 30M", but I did not get eFibre installed yet. I'll post a new one with eFibre when (I hope) I get it.

A slight improvement since the last time I posted a speedtest:



It used to be about 1mbps download. The slight improvement is no thanks to the ISPs though but rather unplugging one of the sky boxes from the telephone line.

No sign of a magical cabinet Eir keeps promising us in their cold calls that at this rate once every month or two. An exchange near us though suddenly jumped from a one year completion to live now over the next few weeks. We've been bumped down from Winter/Spring to Summer and now to Autumn. Another exchange down as "within 1 year" also now expected to have a live cabinet in July.... A ****ing joke I know but that's Eir for you.

Imagine LTE rural broadband - nice change from 5 - 6 Mbps average with Ripplecom. Been connected for about 3 months now, performance holding up well.

How much is that per month? Any setup charges etc?

I would not go by any of their maps. My area was to be upgraded Summer/Autumn yet it arrived end of May.

Woman working for Eir said 1.6 million homes an extra 200,000 will go online by the end of June. Was your area included in those 1.6 million homes?

To be honest there's been not a sign of any Eir van at all where the cabinet is supposed to be in the village so I really doubt we'll have anything by the end of the month. The most action we had was KN were digging some holes and laying some cable but that was about three months back. The actual exchange is in another village slightly bigger than ours and even there I don't think there has been any action. The local Eir vans seem more concerned about a cabinet in the village after us down as finished within 12 months (can see where this is going...).

The exchange was included in the before end of 2016 list but at this rate I have my doubts.

Where you from?

morgana

60 euro/month incl. Unlimited phone and 150 setup and install. They won't install if speed is below 30 Mbps. 18 month contract. 20 gig daily allowance. Check their website for coverage.

MichaelR

Eir is just after installing my shiny new eFibre, aka VDSL2.



They said call back in a couple of days and they might upgrade it a bit. Or not. But at least this speed should hopefully be here to stay.

What I had before the eFibre, on ADSL2, is here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=99844689&postcount=2280

Thats a nice increase, double the download and ten times the upload:)
A friend of mine went from a patchy scratchy 3meg to 30 meg, he still can't get over the difference. I went from a nice rock solid 8 meg to almost 70, brilliant for de aul torrentz...:rolleyes:

Well last day down in Kerry for the weekend and before for a few years always had a steady 2.8mb/s now getting...



My conclusion is Vodafone have over extended themselves and cannot handle the speed that customers are expecting. All in all they are shyte.

Why do you keep posting tests when you know its malfunctioning?

satguy

My VM had some rough times back in the day,, but over the last 4 months or so,, things have been rock solid..



Have not been over doing it on the download side, have been a good boy,,mostly..



Lets see what they do when SIRO rolls into Portlaoise ..

Don't get me wrong, there was a time we would hit 800GB month in month out.

It's just that it's summer time and all the shows I like are on a mid term break.
It's 1080p all the way in this house, 720p MKV files are for suckers !!

My VM upgrade.

pajor

We moved house recently. From a town to a village. Fibre optic back to good 'aul fashioned DSL.



That speed is with ethernet cable. Max speed is 12mb.
