    Anyone got a recommendation for broadband on Howth hill, facing north. Eircom speeds are 0.3 Mbps at the moment, so hopeless.

    Any chance of good line of sight or UPC?

    Thanks.

    Is that result from a speedtest website or from the actual speed reported by the router? The router's connection speed with the internet can be found by typing 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254 in your browser.

    The reason why I ask is because if the router speed is what's low then you can call eircom about it and go through troubleshooting steps or have someone sent out to fix your line. If it's just the speedtest then either the speedtest website itself is slow or overloaded, you're measuring the speed not by downloading something but through something like a program updating itself or filesharing (bittorrent etc) or else eircom are crap and you should change to Vodafone or Digiweb or Magnet and so on.
