Hi,
I've used Dialup Internet with a 56K modem for years now.
I've just been to Eircoms site an checked their Demo on speeds.
It turnsout that their Demo for a 56k Modem goes about 10 times as fast as it does for real on my PC.
When i am downloading the fastest that internet explorer shows is 4k/s.
After some asking around i find that my friends get much faster download speeds than i do.
Apparently the problem is that Eircom Split lines with other phone users and don't tell you this.
So you might only have 1/4 of the bandwidth in your house.
This is unaccepltable. Does this happen to anyone else.
Can you all post your top speeds for downloading(as shown by internet explorer when downloading).
And maybe there are some experts out there who can help with this. What should IE be showing in the download window?
