Just checked my connection. Was upgraded around 1am and am still getting a high connection.

Your current bandwidth reading is: 855.70kbps :eek:

which means you can download at 106.96 KB/sec. from our servers.

Hey Willymuncher welcom to the party

Swords here, upgraded some time during the night.

On home plus and getting 1.77mbps which means I can donload at 220kB/s.

Bit annoying though that you can't get all the 2mb/s.

Still bugger-all happening on the whitehall exchange, despite earlier downtime.
Bleh.

Howdoya mean earlier downtime? My DSL (Digiweb) is still down since Friday afternoon on the Whitehall exchange. Digiweb say there's no problems at their end.

Dingatron

Drogheda exchange done too.

1.51 Mbps which means you can download at 193.9 KB/sec. from our servers. :-)

Well actually nearly 3 miles from the exchange and out in the country!!
IOLBB

This means I've been upped to 2mb?? Bloody fast anyhow

Your current bandwidth reading is:

1.66 Mbps

which means you can download at 212.6 KB/sec. from our servers.

Hi All,

Naturally I have to look a gift horse in the mouth ..... know what I mean ?

I just assumed that the upload speed would be increased in line with the download speed. Obviously I was wrong ? Will upload speed be increased in the foreseeable future does anyone know?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys - Appreciate that officially the upgrades are advertised from approx April 4th but during checking last night/early hours of this monring with all that was going on I saw some improvments getting a best dowload rate of 119.56 KB/Sec - I would have expected a lot higher considering I'm due to be upgraded to 2MBit (I'm on ESAT/IOLOBB+) -Also this morning my connection is actually worse than it normally is & I'm getting a much lower speed than usual :

http://www.irishisptest.com/bandtest/results.php?kbps=358.7&downloadtime=13.84&KB=606&recorded=1



Maybe all will be sorted tomorrow - hopefully

ps - Anyone know where the exchange in Celbridge is located ?

Giblet

I doubt it.

I just got upgraded, to 1meg though. Anyone else on IOL plus?

They might not be upgrading the people on the trial fully. I have a 16gb cap so I am on plus.

My current speed is 1.86 Mbps according to irishisptest. Is this accurate?

padraigf

Should be pretty much spot on. Youre not likely to get the full 2mbps with signal loss, interference, redundancy etc. Im gettting 1.8 aswell

Now if only it was any extra use to me for bittorrent...

hmm.

the modem is reporting 2048/128 yet every speed test going still has my speed at 50k/s

diarmo

I have a v.slow comp at the moment so when I test the line using the irishisptest I get about 60k.
But when I download a large file it takes about 20 seconds to get a nice steady 210-215KBytes/s.

Dont worry about the tests so much if you are on a sh!tty comp like myself...just download a 20MB file from a fast server.

Ciaran500

Getting 2mb here on IBB breeze.

Constant 230kB+ from nvidia. :eek:

Dcully

Just booted up my pc and checked my netopia administration browser thingy and 2048/128 is showing.
Just done a test download from jarhedz.com and got a 22 mb file in 3 minutes @ 220 kbps WOW WOW WOW

PowerHouseDan

Ciaran are you on the 2mb test or did everyone got upgraded.i am getting 1.90 on ibb

Ciaran500

Nope, not on the tests.

Call Me Jimmy

In my connection status it still says connecting at 100. Mbps, what does that mean? I am only downloading at 75k a sec and im supposed to have 1m which should be 100

Thought Boards shut-down for the half hour alright.

Was just about to reply saying my modem went offline and i was upgraded but here's the weird one: check out my modem status and the downstream.

But check out my download speed: http://www.irishisptest.com/bandtest/results.php?kbps=341.9&downloadtime=20.937&KB=873.875&recorded=1

Also, i'm entitled to 2MB.

Is there no advantage for bittorent?
