    Ha I'm so lucky .
    Something like 12Mbits both way here. I dont know what it is officially but the fastest I've seen is 3Mbytes/s download and upload is pretty similar .
    We get it FREE in our apartments from the local college so its very cool.

    I'm gonna be so p****ed off when I have to pay for the crappy eircom broadband next year

    512 adsl from Nildram for the last 2 years and I've got to say that they are TOPS.

    Ok so I know that its just standard fare for speed but the support is 100%. The staff actually answer the phones, know what they're on about and fix any probs in short order. Oh and they call you back when they say they will and give the occasional call just to check if I'm ok.

    Now if they'd only bump me up for free to a 2meg line for my birthday...........

    2 Mb alltime from Bulldog communications with static IP addresses.

    Speeds been excellent but some people are having some issues with BD connections - it basically depends on where you are located it seems

    Damn - they've now have a special offer for 1 pound connection and 2 Mb for 37.99 a month.

    As soon as my exchange is upgraded - I'll order the Alltime 4000
