Irish Broadband
Hey all. I had Irish Broadband installed a few months ago. (Breeze 1MB promising download and upload speeds of 1MB per sec. and a contention ratio of 48:1 for �35.99 per month). Anyway, initially it was fine, seemed very fast, but now it has slowed considerably, I guess all 48 are using it at the same time, my download and upload speeds can be around 10 or 20 Kb per second, sometimes lower. I suppose with the contention it works as 1000kb divided by 48 = 20kb per second. Is this false marketing saying 1MB or was I just suckered into not working out the speed bearing in mind the contention ratio?, my dial up connection seemed quicker.

Usually the uploading rate is a lot slower than downloading,all I would be concerned about is that youre download is near the 1mb speed as they advertise.The larger graphic shows you a comparison with what you should be getting.
I suggest that you wait until a time when you might expect the network to be less busy and run the test suggested above. If the result is still v-slow contact your ISP.
