in N. Ireland
I have recently changed my ISP to Sky (their mid package) which offers speeds up to 8 meg. I accept that with line restrictions etc that you will not always get the maximum speed.
In fact the checks on my line in Carrickfergus suggest that i should get at least 3meg which I would be delighted with if I ever got that speed.
Unfortunately I am only getting 1.3 meg at best and would ask if you could run a test and post your results so we can see what service is best value for money:-
Maybe an admininstrator could post a link for a broadband speed check test here as I do not have the privilege. The one I used was www broadbandspeedchecker co uk

Yes that is my speed in Co.Down, I have just changed to Madasafish as Pipex were to upgrade my speed but couldn't :mad:
To be honest they are working on trying to get the max speed at the moment. My exchange is not LLU or I would have gone for Sky.
£9.65 a month for the first six months and £14.65 thereafter is the deal I am on BUT if you are into downloading movies etc. there is a 5GB pm allowance and after that you will be charged.Dave0 -
Hope that works! Im in BT37. upload seems a tad slow? Im beside an exchange too.Norn Iron club member - 2650 -

Could I ask if posters could state the town/area they are based near to give an indication as some of the postcodes cover large areas?I used to be indecisive, but now I am not quite sure...........:undecided0
