UTV brutal speeds tonight

Valentia

Anyone else on UTV getting crap speeds and pings tonight? I'm on the 2Mb jobbie.

Raiser

I was very close to these figures earlier this evening - is worse now - 207 down
105 up. You in Limerick by any chance?

Same here (in Dublin) 282 kbit on UTV's own speedtest :rolleyes:

I knew Carl should not have been allowed take any holidays! :eek:

Valentia

I'm in Meath.

Kathy, would you mind opening another thread please for your comments.

In this case the problem is not confined to UTV and the thread is about broadband speeds.

It seems that all you have to do is put UTV in the thread title and, boom, off it goes on the UTV bashing tangent. :rolleyes:

Just got 827 kbit on 1 mb line in Waterford.

Mike.

Sorry Valentia, I got carried away. It is good to read the experiences of people already on broadband helps people to know what they can expect from the different services. I deleted my rant

Thanks

Kathy

Valentia

Thanks Kathy.

Fair play.

It's been like this for me for the past 2 months. Between the hours of ~4pm til 1am (sometimes later) download speeds are terrible and ping times are atrocious. Given up complaining at this stage, only a month left on my contract anyway, I'll suffer til then. Then I'll gratefully cancel BB and Phonecalls because, for me, UTV are gone beyond a joke at this stage.

I was down to about half speed for a while tonight (4-500 or so) and pings were haging around 200. It settled down a while ago though.

pablo321

But my connection said 1MB as always...

Your router will say that but it may not reflect the real speeds you are getting. You will need to do a speed test to confirm your real speeds. Try here.

It seems that ESat/BT and UTV are suffering but not all users. Dublin, Meath, Louth and Galway have been mentioned in dispatches.

Seems very similat to the situation last june/july when UTV & ESat ran out of bandwidth.

I'm sick of these fu*ck balls. 240kbps on UTV 2mb line!!! Lets start a mass exodus, the courts won't do squat if there's 50-100+ of us all leaving for the same reasons.....

RuggieBear

i'm getting 386 at the moment...also a 2meg line

Has anybody had any luck resolving their speed issues? I'm now getting 700kb dl speed constant. I should be 1.7mb download constant for the 2mb package. I've been told by UTV "support" that i have to send in screen shots as proof and they will then forward them on to Eircom.....they might as well have just told me to f*ck off. As if Eircom are going to do anything about it :mad:

Have you ever got the 1.7mb at all? Have UTV confirmed that you are on Clicksilver plus?

RuggieBear

my speed has been pants for the last little while but i just did the utv test and i'm getting 1.6-1.7 at the moment

Yeah i used to get 1.7mb up until about a week or so ago. They confirmed I'm still on the clicksilver plus package and couldn't see anything wrong so started pointing the finger at eircom. I've 1 more month to go before I can switch to my only other option BT so maybe I'll just live with it. By the sounds of it they're just as bad though

There probably is no reason to point the finger at Eircom. UTV have close connections with Esat and certainly both Esat and UTV customers had very similar problems over a few days recently so maybe that has contributed to your problem?

BT's accounts department terrifies me!!!

Gegerty

I'm back up to 1.7mb now yippe :rolleyes:

Are they still bad ? I used deal with them at work and every month it was the same old thing - invoiced for 2 monts. We'd pay for one and tell them that we had already paid the last month and it went on and on for over 4 years until we changed provider.

Gegerty

I'm back down to 700kb again ARRGGGGHHHH :mad: These guys are taking the piss!!

Valentia

It's flying here. Faster than ever

LOL it looks a bit like my IBB :rolleyes:
