Welcome to the internet in rural Ireland

Living on a farm typically means living in an area poorly serviced by internet providers. In my case (or my parents to be precise), our house is located at the end of a private lane, 500 metres from a main road and about 1.5km from the local exchange. Our current internet connection is a ADSL2+ line supplied by Eir. Due to our distance from the local exchange, our download speed is limited to 17mbps and our upload speed limited to 765kbps.
