Eircom are/were upgrading all lines to faster service.
Older lines could not sustain 12mb transfers and eircom are/were in the process of upgrading all lines ie 1mb lines to 2mb, 2 mb lines to 3mb and 3mb lines to 7.6 with the top 12mb for business.
Only found this out while doing a goole search for connection problems.
No announcements were made about the free upgrades to eircom users and I still suspect there are teething troubles as my connection speeds have been erractic.
What this means is that any service that relies on Eircom exchanges (lol all that I can think of with the exception of cable) will no doubt experience problems with quality of service.
Makes me wish I had a reliable but slower service.. disconnects and slow downloads are not what i'm paying for.
