You can run tests there, for your file upload and file download speeds.

Edel,
Ok, so you're talking about the immediate connection between your
computer's Ethernet card and the phone jack. yes, it could be the
Belkin adapter. If you wish to test or get a good idea of your real
broadband speed, you could visit

Hi Flor
It is definitely Mbps. At work it is 100Mbps which I used to have
here. However I am living in a rural area so maybe I'll double check
before I go making a fool of myself!
I did change to a belkin usb adaptor recently as opposed to the
direct cable, maybe that's the problem. What do you think?
Edel..

Edel,
need to be sure what exactly the 100 mbps is referring to. If it
is 100 mbps, it is likely to be the speed between your computer and
your phone jack. (Unless you meant kbps?) 100 mbps rate and 54
mbps rate are super-high speed broadband, seen only in city-central
or high business-density locations, and would be very expensive for
a home user!

Hi again
My broadband has been slow recently and when I checked the speed I
see that it is gone from 100 to 54Mbps and lower on some occasions.
Could this be because my neighbours have recently acquired
broadband.
I was the only house able to receive it up to a year ago and my
speed was 100Mbps because we had a main line to the house and the
neighbours were only on carrier lines.
I intend to ring eircom about it but if anyone had any knowledge on
the matter I would be grateful for your opinion.
Edel..
