Default Hello and wellcome

Hi there.
I'm having the same problem with eircom but they won't do anything about it!
It's to do with DSL AND ADSL and all that crap!
The speeds stated are the maximum possible, not the gauranteed ones!
Oh, and if it's eircom your dealing with, tell them you are using the hardware they sent you, otherwise they hang up on you!

Default Hi

That doesn't sound right!
Go online and try to subscribe under a different name and stuff and see what they say!
Going frm 2 to 6 and down to 1 is a bit much isn't it!?

p.s. are you a PC gamer or xbox?

Exclamation Slow Internet

Hi All,

Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on with the net in ireland, its soo slow at the moment and we are supposed to be on 1mb up and down, but when I run a test it say's that a 56kbs modem would be faster.
I have heard something about a worldwide virus that is actually put in your computer and causes your net connection to slow down, it is supposed to have originated from south korea or somewhere like that.

Anybody have any info on it..??

Thanks Guy's & Gall's.
