    Hi TheLastMile,

    Thanks for you query.

    I've checked with our networks and there are no immediate plans to upgrade the Ballycotton exchange. If I receive further information I will update you.

    Best regards,
    Ant

    There is no fibre beyond Cloyne so Ballycotton most likely has a backhaul of between as little as 16mbits and 48mbits for the entire town. Ballycotton was most likely the last ADSL1 exchange enabled in Ireland so you were lucky to get anything, many simiar exchanges scheduled for DSL upgrades were abandoned by eircom....even ones with fibre available such as Kilricke in County Galway.

    OK thanks for the reply.
    We get a lot of congestion during peak hours so that's why I was wondering were ye going to upgrade the backhaul
