[ILUG] [OT] Eircom and broadband woes

[Liam McDermott]

this usually happens when the line is split between two houses.

This will also affect regular dialup, so if dialup is not getting
above 40k then the line is probably split.

They don't like to tell you your line is split, so i also reccomend
saying there is noise on the line.

(ballsed up that reply)
