 Crap Connection Speeds
Alan,
I'm on UTVInternet in the Cork area (Rochestown) and my connection has been utterly crap! I had 5.8 Mbs this morning and then it drops through the day to around 100kbs and sometimes as low as 50 kbs with my all time low of 2.7 kbs a few days ago - totally unusable during the evening.
I phoned UTV Tech Support for the 3rd or 4th time concerning this problem and found out that the upgrades carried out by Eircom on a lot of exchanges to boost the speed they were capable of, are having serious problems and not just in the Cork area.
It's something to do with "interleaving" whatever the fudge that is! It's aparently been escalated to management level within UTVInternet and they are not the only ISP thats suffering from the problem.
Will post again if I find out anything else.
If nothing improves within a month I'm off to my cable TV provider for a 10Mb connection :-) |
