Mine is crawling - a 3Mb service just came in at 916kb using the Irish ISP speed test and was at 1.2Mb about 3 hours ago.
This is much slower than usual and is impacting on file downloads. Anyone else seeing a reduction in speeds. Could have been deteriorating over the last couple of days - this is the first time I have measured it.
UPDATE - a quick look at this boards.ie thread shows that there appears to be a major South-East issue with Eircom BB speeds over the last couple of days. It maybe an infrastructural issue that they are having although they are not being consistent in getting that out.

i was with eircom broadband for quite a while then switched to 'perlico' due to lower cost,a few weeks later my broadband speed dropped substantialy and dsl connection became very sporadic,being down more than up,sometimes loosing connection up to 50 times a day. perlico could not sort this problem leaving me to return to eircom in the hope that eircom could directly sort the problem with the line or with the equipment. so far not much luck. i have checked the main connection where it enters the house, disconected the extention to the sky box,house alarm and even for a time disconected the wire free phone,have also replaced the belkin n1 wireless router in case of any incompatability issues.still with little improvment, will have to ring eircom again but getting tired of this poor service.
