    Don't know what type my work connection is but I can get downloads of >100KB/s.

  • Registered Users Posts: 5,406 ✭✭✭ando

    I'm supprised just how many there is on broadband here, its getting the most hits in the pole so far


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,509 ✭✭✭Tiesto


    yeah i know
    i was thinking the exact same thing
    and most of them prob using Eircon


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 3,935 Mod ✭✭✭✭Turner


    Eircom dsl, Its company paid for so I get it for free, dunno how much its costs, think its about 200 squid a month. Download speeds 104kb/sec upload about 25kb/sec.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,509 ✭✭✭Tiesto

    Wow Great responce.
    56gay is catching up fairly quick :)
    i knew it was too good to be true. i never knew so many people used isdn, Why pay so much more for a tiny bit more speed.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,406 ✭✭✭ando


    ah in fairness, isdn is a whole lot better than 56k, for gaming and for fairly instant connection.

    There's quite a few on wireless now IE leap/IrishBroadband too, that should of been included in the poll


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,509 ✭✭✭Tiesto


    well if an admin wants to edit it go ahead!! :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,509 ✭✭✭Tiesto


    haha 56 gay creeps ahead


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28,128 ✭✭✭✭Mossy Monk


    i have a 56K modem in my PC

    don't be fooled though because at the moment i am cruising at the crazy speed of 14,400 bps :( which is incredibly slow. some days i might get 16,800 bps which is also **** :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,683 ✭✭✭daveg


    DSL 512K down 128K up @ work. Dload speeds of up to 60K :)

    at home 56K - download speeds of 5K :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users Posts: 849 ✭✭✭jwt


    ISDN

    Expecting to get broadband sometime in 2015 possibly 2014 if I'm really lucky :mad:

    ISDN is the best choice for remote access/remote control given that ADSL is not available, sat is too laggy and 56 is slow.

    ISDN here. It's as close as I'll get to broadband within the next 20 years, unless I move!

    At least 64k is a tad faster than the 28.8k I was stuck with when on standard "56k" dialup. :rolleyes:

    I was fairly happy with my 512K/128K ADSL
    Till i seen SyxPak bandwidth, that must be very nice to use?
    i wonder how much eircom will charge for that..................
    or what kind of cap they would put on it....................
