    Update: Just noticed that they switched me over yesterday. It went seamlessly my router reconnected automatically.

    The interleaving certainly seems to have been set to a lower setting. I wonder is this deliberate or part of the auto training that is enabled between the DSLAM and the customer modem.

    Cheers Caffine , looks like RADSL with interleaving off/low is a winner.Let's just hope Netsource users experience similar results.

    Interleaving only seems to have been switched off for the 512kbit? Still getting the very same high pings as before with 1mbit:

    I tried the speedtest at www.irishbroadband.ie/speedtest/speedtest.html.
    and several times got results at the level of a 28.8 modem. I fired off an email complaining about the throughput, so they've fixed it - they put security on the speedtest page.:)

    I know the Eircom i-stream Starter times are fairly well represented here but am posting cos of the oddly fast Jolt times. Shame I've no interest in online gaming.
    BTW Theres a broadband speed test on www.zdnet.co.uk/misc/band-test/speedtest500.html

    Name: Eircom iStream Starter
    Speed: 512/128
    Download speed: 54 (According to www.zdnet.co.uk)
    Downtime: Not even officialy connected yet
