    Are you on the 1 or 2 meg service


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,676 ✭✭✭Chong


    1 Meg as far as I know. Its the one for 49 euro month with phone line rental.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,033 ✭✭✭beller b

    I think it is 16 too. Too my knowledge, BT havent charged anyone for going over the cap so you should be ok.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,676 ✭✭✭Chong

    You're right, it's €50 for 2mb BB + line rental. I just got it too (although I got the intro offer for €35 for 1st 4 months).

    BTW, where is the usage site??? Sounds interesting.

    Download allowance on the 1mb product is 12gb.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,685 ✭✭✭zuma


    But on the 2Mb package, which Willem D has, its 24GBytes a month.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,676 ✭✭✭Chong


    Well guys,

    I ordered an upgrade to 2mb last week does anyone know how long it generally takes before its upgraded.

    Thanks


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,033 ✭✭✭beller b


    Usually a couple of days..don,t think they tell you , just check irishisptest every day or 2.

    When they upgraded mine to 2mb it took 9 working days (and a few phone calls). Like bellerb said, they don't notify you when it's done so keep an eye on your router and the speed test.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,676 ✭✭✭Chong


    Thanks lads.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,676 ✭✭✭Chong


    Ok guys I got my 2mb broadband today, is their any differences that will notice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,265 ✭✭✭RangeR


    Not trying to be smart, but the major difference is that you will notice a double speed increase. 2MB instead of 1MB.

    I ordered an upgrade today also. Their website ways that the Home Plus package is 128Kb upload but their phone guys said that it is now 256Kb upload. That's why I upgraded.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,222 ✭✭✭Scruff


    its gone up to 256k eh??? thats great if its true. dont have any faith in the phone biddies though.

    Exactly I was informed that it was still 128 today. They really dont know their arse from their elbows.


  • Registered Users Posts: 428 ✭✭Vunderground
