ja, good luck !! I had NS from March last year till about October. NS performance was up and down. As soon as you taught it was fixed, it was $hit again. Far too unreliable

Yeah - same here. Put your cancellation in Now - before you even get it installed

Really - NS told me that I could Cancel a Cancellation two weeks before they pulled the plug. I told them I would do this if their service got better - but it didnt - so now I 'belong' to Eircom .... 8-o

Pings - always the same and same as all other Eircoms...

I wanted esats business 512 line but cant get it because no exchange near here. NS is the only one thats close to that package. Eircoms only uncapped one is 169a month. Ok it's a meg line and if I get to that stage I prob will move but right now I aint so I'm hoping to get good pings on the line. I'll post them anyway when I get the line in.

I rang Irish Broadband to upgrade to Breeze Home from Ripwave. I was told that it would be between 6-10 weeks before they increased the user capacity on the Three Rock node, which is currently running at capacity.
After using Ripwave for the last couple of weeks, I have achieved downloads of upto 40K/sec from some sites, but not a whole lot. Online gaming (DoD on Steam) is a bit of a disaster to say the least! Latency of anywhere between 260ms - 500ms!! Probably to do with the contention ratio of 40:1. Breeze Home contention ratio is 20:1, so there should be some improvement there (hopefully).
Just have to wait and see I guess...

Well got my NS SoHo installed today. Speed are good around 54/55. Having tested direct speeds too much. Still getting router up and running. Pings are greats.

they are a little higher then mine alright, is it possible you could be quite a way from the exchange? how does distance affect pings? i'm using eircom's modem but via my ethernet

Skittle

Hey Dataisgod, a friend of mine just got Broadband and he's using the Eircom modem via USB. When he was trying to ping me (also on Eircom Broadband) he was getting 41ms which seems high. He can only get his modem to work (it's the Netopia one) via the USB connection, when he plugs in the Ethernet connection the modem won't connect. Is there something he has to configure on the modem to enable the Ethernet connection?

Colm

Woden

hi skittle i don't think i did anything special when connecting the modem to the ethernet, all i had to do was make sure that i had reenabled my lan port as i had it turned off as i didn't use it, so unless this is an issue..... i don't know what it could be

just looking at the manual does he get the green light for the ethernet link when he puts it in?

data

Gonzo

whats difference between ethernet and usb cable? is ethernet meant to be better, lower pings etc than usb? can i just connect my modem with the ethernet cable or do i have to have sommet special in my pc?

MrPinK

With a USB connection the modem is controlled by software (drivers) running on your PC. This will use up resources, and can conflict with other hardware and other programmes running on the PC. Ethernet has been the de facto standard for networks for many years. The protocol is written into the core of every OS, so it does not require any drivers running on your PC. This means it is far more reliable.

To connect via ethernet you will need a network card. Look for an RJ-45 port at the back of your PC. If you don't have one, buying a card will only cost you under €20

Gonzo

cool, i'll try that, i dont have a network card but i'll get one and try it out then post my ping results to see if their lower than under usb.

melachi

Ping with eircom is also dependant on your distance to the exchange.

Gonzo

im only 2km from the exchange, pings seem better today.

Be nice if there was some sort of automated statistics page for the pings so you could get the bigger picture of everyones pings for a given provider.
Sort of like the average of the averages..

Woden

why is it that different serviced providers end up with different pings on the same line?

i would consider those pings high compared to what i get on eircom

Gonzo

pings are always gonna be different from isp to isp on same line just as it is when you use dialup. It all depends on the isp's network quality etc. theres not alot of difference between eircom/iol-esatbt and netsource but utv's pings are usually more than double sometimes triple of everyone else's particularly to irish servers. The same goes for their 56k/isdn dialup also. Hopefully they'll get it sorted some day soon.

The other thing is that it's telling me I'm connected at 8Mbps. I putting this down to the same mysterious error that once told me I was connected at 130kbps on dial-up...

i take it your using a usb modem and this is the speed the modem is connected to your pc at

no chance they messed up you connection and you can download at about 16*50kB/s is there?

edit or tuxx thing makes more sense as my lan connection says im connected at 100Mbps

unfortunately it aint good, for broadband that is awfull. your boards.ie ping are about 10ms lower than a well tuned 56k connection and your jolt pings are average isdn standard. Pinging boards in Ireland using broadband is usually 22ms-35ms and jolt would be 30ms-40ms. Also the fact that your timing out would more than likely mean that in-game you would prolly lag every few seconds as ping would be 999+ momentarily.

heres my boards.ie ping
