This is great isn't it... while the rest of Ireland is out getting pissed and meeting women, we're sitting here drooling over our DSL connections.
Although I was out already tonight, I'm actually having more fun here. :eek:

I'm with UTV (Clicksilver Plus) and I've just been bumped up to 1Mbit (in Galway City). Are there any Clicksilver Plus users out there who've been bumped to 2Mbit (which I was expecting to see).

yes, but don't forget that they will downgrade you back till monday, so the chance is that maybe they already upgraded you to 1 or 2 megs and then downgraded you

Yeah but you never know what they will do with the interleaving. They could actually higher it to get more people on 2meg without errors appearing :eek:

Who says they will downgrade us? I don't see it anywhere on the eircom site or anywhere else. The fact that they mention the 4th would be the cut off period for upgrading everyone. Upgrading and then downgrading all in the one day would be alot of work for nothing. They won't be downgrading.

I've been bumped to 1Mbit/s on UTV Clicksilver.

I'm more concerned about the possibility of an increased cap though.

Great news for us UTV users. Still 512K here on the Douglas exchange, but my hopes are up for 2MB tomorrow.

Is it possible that there's more than one exchange covering Lucan?
