Crap speeds in Carlow again! - Irish ISP Test - Broadband Forum

HAHA

was just on to their support as been having horrible speeds over the last 2 days. first of all he tried to tell me i was running bittorrents.. such a laugh they have almost all ports blocked to stop you using torrents. Anyways explained to him that there was no issues on my network and that i was still getting slow speeds with 3 bars connection. He then tried to convince me that i was using massive downloads and was causing it myself. I ended up telling the guy that I had tracerts that proved the slow response was at "fe-0-0-0_0.bdr001.dublin.clearwire.ie [85.134.255.13]", he then turned around and asked me what was that!! their network segment.. he then went off checking the local mast after much persuading that it was not my LAN at fault and that i wasn't doing mass downloading [had VPN connection and was monitoring it had only downloaded 30 MB] and next thing i hear is "UH OH" and he tries to get me off the line ASAP.. turns out their mast in Cralow is maxed out again. thats 3rd time this year.

So in short anybody else having issues with clearwire in carlow at the moment, dont bother calling Clearwire

BTW heres the stats

My Last Speed Test Said 141 Upload And 36 Download And Clearwire Are Closed For Weekend

They're a bit up-and-down. What connection are you on? Uploads look kinda slow, as are some of the download speeds.

The max pause values are really high! Half-a-second to a full second and then some!

tested speed on this site reccommended by clearwire altho the woman that installed my clearwire modem showed me Blacknight Speedtest lol this is about the best result off that site mostly around 3-400kbps down and 110-120 up

boggiemanx · #7 (**permalink**) 19th September 2007, 03:42 PM

i had them before- they were never good- try look around for a fixed wireless!!

foggy_lad · #8 (**permalink**) 19th September 2007, 04:15 PM

is that the little box they stick out near the roof? would love to but where i am in town none available. and hope to be moving soon so wanted somethin i could move withiot having to pay another €100 to move it. clearwire only really bad at weekend like ALL weekend even middle of the night!

boggiemanx · #9 (**permalink**) 19th September 2007, 04:22 PM

yea thats the 1- sites on ur roof. it seems to be the only good option around carlow atm- unless u have eircom... and digiweb have a 12 month contract.. atm im trying to change to irishbroadband or ice broadband when they start up again- because my upload isnt good for gaming.

foggy_lad · #12 (**permalink**) 2nd October 2007, 03:13 PM

download is ok for 1mb speed but upload is awful if its supposed to be 128kbps but at least your download speeds are fairly consistant.

nick123 · #13 (**permalink**) 2nd October 2007, 06:04 PM

how can i get better upload speed
