HI Cork981

Firstly well done on getting speeds like this. I have only got this kind of speed once (over 35MB) and this was with the old modem.



My average now is between 27 & 29.5Mb with the new Thompson one, the same which they gave to you.



As a matter of interest have you downloaded and saved anything since the installation? If so how fast was your transfer rate? Your true download speed will be the transfer rate multiplied by 8. For a 30Mb connection it normally should be 3.6Mb/sec or thereabouts.

ya i usually get roughly 3.2mb/s using a download manager or via torrenting.

Digiweb has probably one of the best pings in the country. Solid as well.
But how do you like your download limit or did you not get there yet?

Cork981

Your right ping is great, I haven't hit the cap yet don't think I will never went over 80 or 90 the limit is 120gb rather that 100gb that was advertised before your throttled so dont see my self going over it anytime soon.

Also I'm hoping to see the 100mb metro rolled out soon which will likely have a higher cap

I'll second that. The pings always seem to be very low. As for reaching the downlaod cap I too doubt that I will ever reach it.

And as for the 100Mb rollout bring it on sooner rather than later.

Alright guys, Thinking about getting this installed. Am I right in saying there is no installation charge / set up fee etc? Whats the story with fees if the engineer comes out and they can't install due to a LOS issue. LOS shouldn't be a problem but there is a few trees around so you never know. I would be using it mainly for gaming and the pings posted look good, better than my current DSL anyway.

Your right no installation and set up charge.
There is no charge if the LOS test fails only if a few houses in your area didn't have Los you would have to pay 100 euro for the test.

The pings are extremely low I get roughly 16ms constantly which is great for gaming.

There is something seriously wrong with this. Your ping is low, so download speeds should be fairly high. Try a different server to see if there is any change. If no change contact technical support without fail. .

Its the same with all the servers. Do you get packet loss with your metro? I get request timed out a few times when I ping the likes of google.

Hi iMuse

To answer your question I do get packet loss with Metro since they replaced my modem with the Thompson THG870. The website http://www.pingtest.net confirms this. As you mention the low download speed is on all servers then contact technical support tomorrow morning on freefone 1918. An engineer will have to come out to you.

Anyone else have problems with ping spikes using this, 1 ping will be 17 the next 70, 50, then back to near 20. This is using command prompt and not speed test.

Im so jealous :( I got onto Digiweb the other day and was told the mast is located at the ESB station in Mullingar town. I sent an email off to Digiweb and recommend they move from the town centre to Frewin hill http://www.geolocation.ws/v/W/File:Communication%20mast%20-%20geograph.org.uk%20-%20707826.jpg/-/en

If they do this they will not only cover the town but also a lot of rural villages like Ripplecom do, who are starting to go down hill in the evening time. Hope they listen
