Your line will be upgraded on the weekend of the 9th August

Pity my line noise stats are so awful that it is unlikely to go any faster than the 3Mb I have already!
A question…

Does that cheesy music Eircom use in all their broadband ads drive you into an uncontrollable violent rage too?
Bitstream broadband upgrades on the way!

Eircom, the telco everyone loves to hate, has announced that they are upgrading their bitstream broadband products all round… unless you’re on a 1Mb deal, in which case it sucks to be you.
If you’re on a 2Mb product you’ll be going to 3Mb.
If you’re on 3Mb you’ll be going to 7.6Mb.
If you’re on 4Mb you’ll be going to 10Mb.
If you’re on 6Mb you’ll be going to 12Mb.
All of the above depends on the poxy Eircom copper between you and the exchange being up to the task. They haven’t mentioned if there will be any change in upstream speeds yet. Upgrades are being rolled out between now and June. Apparently this is all part of Eircom’s ADSL2+ rollout.
