4m/bit Broadband enhanced = No upgrade at all.

digitalninja

I am now on 1024kbps and the dropping of the connections have stopped.
Where the hell is my bandwidth gone?

For a 4MBit download, 1 connection downloading at full speed would result in 8 or 9 kbytes/sec upload , just for TCP Acks.

digitalninja

anyone else have the same problem?

CyberGhost

my connection is ok *knocks on wood*

but my speeds constatly drop, they are never stable

they were just fine couple of days ago,

what do you think have caused them? I just have no idea what can do that?

Me too. I started noticing it late last week. When I was first upgraded everything was fine, full speed downloads virtually from everywhere, but last week things started to slow down and now I'm getting d/l speeds all over the place. My news server in the US (Supernews) is trickling in at a measly 85 kBytes/sec, for instance, and even ftp.heanet.ie is as slow as sh1t at the moment. I'm not a happy bunny

My connection has been 100% since the 12th.

damn now my connection is starting to drop without a reason too

could it really be that eircom can't handle the load?

Just to note to anyone who is very close to an exchange and still recieving a low connection speed. Because you are very close to the exchange dose not mean that you telephone line is going straight across the road it maybe for all the world going half way around the town or city then back to the exchange. something you would need to ask eircom about if they know

anyway thats it cheers

Sorry to hear that. Looks like you have been very unlucky. I'd get on to your account manager and declare war!
