    I live fairly close to you in Kilcoran/Pallaskenry area. My speed is fine.

    40 ping 6.7 down ( 7 meg package) 312 kb upload seriously Eircom increase the damn upload its so bad in this day and age.

    I would check your modem, but the fault is mostly likely on Eircoms end. It usually is 90% of the time.

    Problem solved.
    Phone line was being routed through a APC UPS as a surge protector.
    Put phone line directly in to the router.
    speed improved

    download 3.00 download upload 0.323 ping 45
