    I was playing xbox live fine when all of a sudden my connection went really bad over past 30 minutes, i restarted my computer and did a ping test and its very bad indeed, anyone else having really bad lag atm? also on the irish isp speed test im only getting 600k when its normally at 1.78mb, this is the first time ive had a lag/slow connection with eircom since i got it nearly 2 years ago.

    i'm on the blanch exchange and i'm also on the home plus package and have had little to no trouble with the connection over the last 2+ years ( apart from the upload speed and stupid cap ).

    tried the speed test also and it's at 1.67 mb which is what it normally reads.
