I very much doubt that a lot of people would see any benefit from changing to ADSL2+. See my post here for a brief explanation. I can't see how eircom will auto-switch people over to this. It'll probably be a request option (with new contract and price scheme).
It is a new product at a new price and a MINIMUM 12 month contract ......not a speed bump.
The bundles start at €70 a month and the standalone is €48 a month.
Note that Bundles and Standalone DSL now come with minimum contracts of 12 months for BOTH.
However eircom are also offering free connection and 10 months free line rental if your line was inactive on or before the 20th of May 2009.
You may change provider but the 10 months free line rental requires that you stay with eircom for the each of the 10 months as it is a month by month dsicountCustomers moving their Calls or Calls and Line Rental between telecommunications providers will lose their discount.
Thankfully there is no MINIMUM connection period in this particular "Trial Line " package just no discount for you if you leg it , see1 The eircom Trial Line Promotion offers the above promotional discounts to eligible Residential PSTN lines between the dates shown above.
2 This promotion relates to PSTN lines, which are inactive on the eircom network (in situ or pre-cabled) and can be electronically enabled. To be eligible for this promotion, a lin
must be inactive from 12 months on the last day of the promotion, shown above. This promotion only applies to premises where there is no active line already in place.
3 eircom will retain a list of all eligible lines and retains the final judgement on whether a premises is eligible/ineligible for the promotion.
4 If a line availing of the promotion is ceased at any time during the 10-month promotion, the discount is foregone for the remainder of the promotion.
5 If a customer moves address during the promotional period, the discount is foregone for the remainder of the promotional period. However, if the customer is moving to an
eligible address where there is still an active promotion, they may qualify for a new 10-month promotion.
6 eircom reserves the right to withdraw this offer by giving relevant notice in accordance with normal requirements.
7 Usage of eircom PSTN is deemed to be acceptance of the eircom General Terms and Conditions of Telephone Service.
8 Customers upgrading from PSTN to ISDN will lose their discount.
9 Customers moving their Calls or Calls and Line Rental between telecommunications providers will lose their discount.
10 Customers may avail of one Trial Line promotion per account.
11 The Vulnerable User Scheme discount package is not available to Trial Line customers for the period that the customer is availing of the Trial Line Promotion.
12 Customers availing of the Trial Line promotion may also be eligible to receive the DFSA (Department of Social and Family Affairs) Telephone Allowance.0 -

20mbits down. Your wireless may not do that in a large house...do note.0 -
I would be very surprised if you get anywhere near 8Mbos with that line. Do you know what speed you're actually getting from your line?
Upstream Downstream
CurrRate(kbps) 800 8128
Attenuation(dB) 6.0 9.0
NoiseMargin(dB) 34.0 33.0
Waiting on password from UTV. But i sync @ 8mb.
I thought they were good stats?

Calebmcd, they're good stats, you should get full speed with them.
Low attenuation is good, high SNR is good - you have both. I think jor_el might have misread one as the other... with 34db attenuation you'd only get 12Mbit or so.0
