Hi guys,
Got 'broadband' last week from Fast Wireless Internet, a company working out of Killalaoe in Tipperary. The service is wireless and is supposedly 1MB upload and download.
I have now run a number of tests, without any intervening router on my side and am getting the following on average.

Anyone with an opinion on this. Not much better then 128K ISDN???
What should I do to resolve situation. Give the receiver some extra height over my house? I'll ring the company soon, but wanted your opinion first.
P.S. There is no other Broadband provider in my town, Cloughjordan, North Tipp...
