That link doesn't seem to go anywhere.

Silavar, there was a thread on the IrelandOffline board about this, take a look here:

Eircom's I-Stream service is not set up to be as low ping as one might like from broadband. You should expect ICMP pings (ping.exe or /usr/bin/ping) to local sites to be around the 50ms to 70ms mark. Bear in mind that if you go further afield, the speed of light becomes a factor - until we figure out how to do FTL comms, it's always going to take some finite time for a packet to cross the Atlantic.

The latency figure is around 50ms because there is a form of error correction called interleaving on the line. This done because it increases the number of
lines that are suitable for ADSL.
