    Magnet uses the same lines, but they sometimes use their own equipment at the exchange. If you're line is of low quality, or the distance from the exchange is far, then this will restrict the speed you can get with either eircom or Magnet. Magnet's own equipment is ADSL2+, which is better, but at distance or low quality, it may make no difference.

    If your ADSL line is restricted to 4Mbps, then an ADSL2+ line will have almost the same restriction. Switching is likely to bring no improvement at all.
