IBB looking for testers for 2Mb product

OldTitan

IBB is looking for 5 to 10 users of their existing 1Mb Breeze product to test their new 2Mb entry level broadband service.

They will upgrade the existing 1Mbps symetrical service to a 2Mbps symetrical service.

The test is simply to test the upgraded transmission network and backhaul capacity and see whether there are any glitches before releasing the product into the market.

Testers will be subject to occassional adjustments as the service is tweaked, and will be required to meet with the IBB marketing team to discuss their perceptions of the service and their experience.

Any interested parties can PM me and I will get back to the selected ones. Let me know the base station you are on as it would be preferable to have one or two people per base station.

DO NOT post your personal details on the Board or to me. Selected candidates will be given an e-mail address to send their account number and base station to only. No personal details.

Your MRTG graphs show throughput of a full meg for an hour a short while back, but there is an anomaly in the radio vs ethernet stats. Force your ethernet card settings manually down to 10Mb half-duplex and see if that makes a difference? Some ethernet cards do not always adapt to the radio speeds when set to Auto.

Good to see that IBB are responding with upgraded speeds. Excellent in fact.

I just hope they start doing 2mb for €50 and reduce the price of 1mb.

PowerHouseDan

Yeah hoping they dont up the price of the 2mb a 2 mb for 48 would be nice

they will probably have a 1mb entry and 2mb service ! IBB when its right is a far better product than DSL !!! Symetrical !! The Eircom and Smart thread are complaining about the upoloads for the new 2mb being 128kps speed !! 2mb up is fantastic............. hopefully they have the bandwidth in the basestations to cater for the increase !!!

Well I wont go into it all here again as its not the thread for it ( The WiseMan has been looking into it for me) but it was fine when first installed and nothing as changed on my machine or the young lads so I dont see how changing it now will solve it.

PM'ed.

As always, the presence on boards is appreciated (but not everyone says that ).

Hope everything works out for ye, and we have a seamless transfer to the faster speeds, and no high sites exploding under the additional bandwidth pressure

Its funny when i think back that i've been a customer for nearly 2 years now. Been through one or two very rough patches with the service, and a few more middling ones. Lets hope it keeps going smoothly.

As I mentioned in the PM, am moving address soon. I really hope I do not suffer some of the experiences others have had on this forum when dealing with your customer services.

I am actually delighted with the 1mb service for the past 6 months and this is the reason I am willing to pay 150 euro to move it as oppossed to just ending the agreement and getting DSL in the new place with Eircom's or IOL's increased speed services.

Can you do anything to make sure I get a call to move my equipment while I actually have access to the current address? I called late last week but I have no idea how long it takes ye guys to schedule something like this. Please say its nothing like getting a new install..

Let me see... when IBB updated me to the VL Gear way back then... they didn't set me to 1Mbps straight away... I was running 2 to 3 Mbps on FTP downloads and 10Mbps on HTTP !!! That was going on for 3 days... I can tell you that I was very happy and didn't see any problem at the time.

Mutant_Fruit

Sssh, don't tell them that We need to test it properly...over a long period of time. And hopefully during that time our monthly bill will be waived

gsand

2meg up and down, low ratio...

now that is a product I want...

gotta be hot stuff as well with everyone complaining about lack of upload.

OldTitan

Thanks to all the IBB clients on the Boards who have responded. We have appointed the testers and no more are required.

The first batch of 7 testers will have their speeds increased today and will receive an e-mail advising them so.

IBB's marketing department will be in touch with them next week.

Enjoy the 2Mb up and down this week-end!

Cheers
