no upload speed? + help finding a ISP

lowrisk

PS if you want to skip all the moaning you can go straight to the last line !

Looking at Vodafone, Eir, and etc, nobody seems to display the upload speed, at any stage (not even on the T/C).

I know from experience that speed are not symmetrical in Ireland (in most of the case for FTTH) .... (The max I ever managed was 1Gbps down and ONLY 100 mbps up)

I just can't understand how they are allowed to sale contract without let customers know the line characteristics, I mean the upload is pretty basic....

the only one I found so far (and you have to scroll down to find it) was in Blacknight, and yet the upload is ridiculous https://www.blacknight.com/broadband/for-home/

talking about Eir, they display the speed as "Mb" for the last few years, I tried to let them know at the time that this is wrong (the unit is missing)... but they never understood... I mean I was trying to get a static IP from them, NOBODY from sales or customers support understood what a static IP was.... or not to mention that when I was with digiweb and I had an issue with my FTTH, a manager from openEIR came to my house and was trying to connect with a EIR modem (while I was with digiweb) and was expecting to get an IP, I had to change the PPPoE setting for him so I can do his test...

anyway on an another topic, anyone is aware of a FTTH offer with at least 200Mbps symmetrical and a static IP? (and if possible with no router or any hardware) -- west cork / openeir network / I don't think SIRO is available here.

NBI offer a 2gbps/200mbps product since Jan 26th. If you're already an Eir customer though you're probably not in the IA.

OpenEir have a 2gbps product since last year as well but not sure if any ISP is reselling it

Thank you.

I’ve been looking for hours, can’t find anything at all over 200mbps in west cork… perhaps a Dedicated FTTh but I assume the monthly charge is ridiculous (I’ll ask and see).

I need to setup a site to site VPN, 200mbps upload would be ideal for me

Good luck. I am in a similar situation. Need fast up and down. Have had my order in with Eir (only player in town) for two years, despite 6 installation dates I am still not installed. I have finally settled on the fact that 1g down and 100mb up is the only solution.

Sounds like a commercial use if you need that much bandwidth. There are products for business that will offer symmetric.

The only one I find so far was €250 installation fee and €296 monthly, that's seems unreal for me 200Mbps ...

I know I can't compare with France and the 8Gbit/s down 700Mbit/s up for 39.99€ / month but 296€ for 200Mbps symmetrical It just blowing my mind
