What is this?

Hi, this is what I get at speedtest.net How come it's so slow? It's supposed to be I believe 24mb/s and it's paid for. How come the broadband is so slow? It takes hours to load anything, even most simple websites.

Hi kajzer, where abouts are you in the country? I am getting the below. Normally it is between 4-5mb but today I noticed it was quite bad. I am in Kildare....are the problems Eircom are experiencing across the country to blame for this crap?

It's in Mitchelstown which is just approx. 60 km from Cork.
It's terrible, they expect you to pay on time and you have to deal with this crap. I hope it's because of the recent storms and is going to be resolved soon...

Hi kajzer

Are you still experiencing these speeds? Apologies for the delay but if you would like to PM me your landline number I'll look further in to this for you.

Thanks

Al
