Need broadband for gaming

    Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

    Here is the score.

    I live in south Drogheda. My telephone line fails eircom line test.

    I have phone watch, and an LCD phone(not sure but heard this might make a difference). Also a 56k modem plugged in.

    Is there anyway any of the above can effect an aircom line test.

    Also is there any wireless options for gaming??

    Any help would be great, I've been holding way too many BattleField2 LAN sessions in my house..

    Anybody interested in LAN Sessions near Drogheda give me a shout aswell.

    thanks in advance

    I've heard stories before that a sheep farting in the Wicklow mountains can effect Eircon line tests to be honest ...

    Try having just one device plugged in at the time (a normal Eircon issued phone) and give them a ring and ask them to run a test ?

    I don't know if IBB is available in Drogheda, but don't get it if you plan on Gaming, at least not at the moment anyway.

    Phonewatch I believe affects the line test. Try ringing them up and telling them you have this and ask them to carry out the test rather then relying on the result your getting from the website test. I live in south Drogheda and there should there should be very few lines that can't carry Broadband. Have recently given up the lan parties since I got BB in. You'll find yourself doing the same. It's just too much hassle in moving computers etc....
