    Be happy, we've had 4 years of 0.9mbps.

    Yes serious, less than 1km from a village 5 minutes from a town fully efibre enabled. The exchange was on the last for NGB and looks like it will be the same for even FTTC. Out here it doesn't matter who you call they'll all give the same so I'd imagine if you are in the same situation then 0.85 isn't going to get much better.

    they said mine was 1mb i said it wasnt because i had sky and i had more than 1 mb on the line and then the live chat person said mine was 10mb once she rechecked it.. could be the same for you they might think your line is 1mb when its not .. check up on it man just incase!

    My situation is that Eircom, Sky and Vodafone all confirmed the most we'd ever get is around 2mbps which as of a few days ago we seem to be getting now (1.75mpbs). FTTC is going into the village this year so there's a chance that people just outside (less than 1km) might benefit from that.
