PureTelecom

I would also like to know. I wanted to move from Virgin to Pure or others, contacted, but Pure, Eir and even Sky offer only a 25Gbps speeds in my area in Lucan, Co. Dublin. So I had to stay with Virgin. Paying 69 Euro for the broadband only for up to 500Gbps speed while actually getting only 300Gbps as the maximum ever measured 1 metre away from the modem in the same room.

Ireland is crying for a better competition for mobile network and broadband services.

I won't be worried if you with OpenEir.

I am pretty sure it is backhaul issue, and Pure does have different for the OpenEir ( EIR's backhaul if you lucky or BTIreland if not ) .

It is Enet backhaul for SIRO if not mistaken.

Just for info ... I have been with Pure for many years now. Always found the service to be reliable, only had to call customer support for settings needed to change out my modem (bought newer model) and found then very helpful for setup.

I check out all options annually and have stayed with Pure, to date.

I rang Eir to cancel and move to PURE but Eir said Pure only do 500mb and I would have to return my router to eir. I saw on Bonkers ie that PURE do do the 1gb package. What make and type of router would Pure supply and can I just plug it in myself? I use my own router, an ASUS so was hoping switch would be done over the air ie no home visit required. I got an offer from EIR but I get 14 days cooling off and may still move.

First speedtest of ~850Mb/s this morning.

Why not ? You do realise , current capacity of fiber line about 3Gbps and it is shared between up to 30 premises?

You won't get 1Gbps 24/7 unless you live in low populated area .

To get 1Gbps Guaranteed speed you have to sign for corporate package and pay probably over a €1000 a month.

Ps. What is your backhaul , EIR or BT Ireland?

Easy to find out during the speedtest.net

It will show up your ISP name and as Pure virtual provider and doesn't own nothing at all ( not even DNS servers) it will show as EIR or BT IRELAND.

If it says EIR then it is max.posible speed for your line( you won’t get any better speeds with other providers) If its shows as BT Ireland then I would probably blame them , as they cheapest backhaul available , lots other ISP using them and congestion kicks in pretty regularly.

In most of the rural locations BT Ireland won’t be available, so it would be Eir. Otherwise it is BT Ireland as it is much cheaper for ISP.

NO, you can’t specify , I am afraid.

Well , you could ask them to downgrade the package to 500 mbps ( you’ll loose 100 mbps upload of course) and save yourself some money OR if you REALLY NEED higher speeds ,You could switch to different ISP , only Eir will do better speeds though . No SKY , Voda , Digiweb , Airwire etc.

They both support MESH , good few options available, at least one router could be set as satellite for Mesh ( make sure you connect them with Ethernet cable , not with the wireless backhaul)

7590 definitely support 1gigabits , no problems there , but if you start to use parental control/hardware firewall/etc its dramatically decrease performance of the router. You wouldn't notice it until 1gigabit package.

Easy to find out , do firmware settings backup , then do factory reset of 7590 and see how it is performes with out servers etc .

Can you not just access router and turn off all those settings that are restricting speeds first. Or copy over your settings to pure router. Then do a factory reset.

They used to send F2000 ( Eir’s old router,made by Huawei , pure garbage) too.

Must you send old router to Vodafone?

You could use it with Pure too ( just change username and password for PPPoE connection )

Just a thought but PPPOE connections are notorious for being single threaded (1gb will basically need a full core to itself to get full speeds) and if you have a lot of settings which use up CPU power on the 7590 then it may be effecting the throughput. By putting the 7530 in front of it, the CPU in the 7590 no longer has to process the PPPOE connection.

Another thing to look into is if the 7590 has PPPOE hardware offloading and also if its active. It is possible the 7530 comes with it already active as the ISP has set it up in advance. I'm not fully up on the models so you will have to investigate that. And its likely to be command line inputs to activate. But worth a look.

Why don't you do factory reset ?

You could keep guessing long time otherwise.

Could be anything , glitch of QoS , RAM leakage, CPU overload etc.etc.

Is the BT backhaul going to be an issue, I have just swapped from Voda tp Pure on 1Gb FTTH

I have noticed my ping has doubled it was alway 3ms now no matter what server I chose it's 6,

Would I be better canceling and moving to Eir??

I live in the sticks but most housed around me have FTTH

Thanks

3ms would be extremely good pings for the person living in the sticks … I am in rural Kerry , never seen pings lower than 6 .

Are you sure you not just outside m50 ?

Anyone know why Pure FTTH broadband service can vary massively, using the Fritzbox router. My service has fallen off a cliff around 9:30pm tonight, has happened two nights in a row now. I'm on a 500Mb package. A completed a few speed test this evening, crap download speeds of 3-5Mbps, upload always pretty strong 25+Mbps, ping varies, from 11ms up to 250ms (not a typo). No two speed tests are the same, ping varying massively, d/s speeds anywhere between 2 to 12MBps before bounces back after a period. Tonight, just like last night, it jumped back after about 40mins, ping down to 6ms, laptop speed back to 70+Mbps.

Issue not laptop as seeing issues streaming on tv etc also.
