Thanks Clubman, I am approximately 4km from the local exchange (as the crow flies) which I would not consider excessive. Will it be the case that is all I will have or will it be in Eircom's interest to have it upgraded?Broadband speed depends on a number of factors including the quality of the line/infrastructure, how far you are from the exchange,
Haven't eircom already told you?!Will it be the case that is all I will have or will it be in Eircom's interest to have it upgraded?
Nobody other than eircom can tell you if/when your line/exchange or whatever will be upgraded. I'd imagine that rural areas with presumably a low density of subscribers might be down the priority list for upgrades compared to areas with a higher density of subscribers.When I rang Eircom they said that it is because of the quality of the line and that's the most I will be getting until it's upgraded. They refused to tell me when or how it's upgraded.
The line attenuation rate is 63/31 dB I have filtered all extensions. How do I find contention rate, ThanksLog onto the router homepage 192.168.1.254 (if i remember correctly) and check the line attenuation, the higher the numbers in db the higher the noise on the line generally because of distance, have you filtered all other phone extensions, you have to remember when other people are online at the same time it's slows down like a traffic bottleneck, do you know what your contention rate is? you could try it late at night to see if it's better.
