why did you feel the need to post a link to limewire?

could you not post a pic of your new super speeds?

I am MAN

Yes but he's downloading via limewire so most times you arent going to get full blast.

Creamy Goodness

so to get a decent reading i suppose he should download something off heanet servers (located in ireland) and post a screenshot

Is limewire illegal? I thought p2p programs were legal?

Moriarty

I don't care if they're legal or not, no links to them are going to be pasted in this forum.

Fair enough, just curious really.

It's still rate adaptive. So 1meg doesn't neccesserily mean 1 meg.

the eircom guy said they will start upgrades from April 1

Infini

They're meant to have it all done by the 4th at the latest as far as I know.

NotMe

Is it only Eircom that are increasing their speeds?

Also on that site http://www.irishisptest.com/bandtest/results.php?kbps=229.9&downloadtime=18.006&KB=505.25&recorded=1

Brilliant!

Yeah I clicked on that link and I got an error saying download manager is not working and must be reinstalled (it was working this morning) and then Firefox crashed. Nice one!

Yeah I'm getting 51.5kBps with that now. So it should be double in a few weeks? Can't wait.

CyberGhost

Brilliant!

hehe

So it should be double in a few weeks? Can't wait.

if you are on plus package it should be 4 times faster = 200kb/s
