If that was the case it would have stated the charge was €10 rather than €0, surely.

Latest update;

Seems that more than one STB will not work for the forseeable future. This is a major pain for me.

EPG has gone down again, not sure when it will be back.

Not a happy camper

since magnets phone servive is voip does that mean it would take some of your download allowance away for each call?..

cormac_byrne · 31-05-2006 11:14am

I wouldn't worry as it doesn't use much bandwidth. I assume that the TV stream doesn't count against download allowance

so the phone shouldn't either.

Whether Magnet can separate these in their stats would be interesting to know

one thing i have found extremely annoying about magnet is that they won't allow me to access anything inside the router. for example, I want to set up a static ip address and to open ports in the router. however, i am asked for a password. however, when i called magnet to ask them for the password, they told me that they are not obliged to give this to me. I find this absolutely ridiculous, as other isp's alow you to access and change settings to suit yourself. eg eircom, who i was previously with. has anyone else had this problem?

What you have to do is get your own router, plug the wan port into the magnet router on ethernet setting / dhcp then the wan port will obtain a public ip address and you will be able to use it that way, just think of magnets router as a modem only, there is no other way around this, the magnet box only assigns public ip addresses

yeah, but will that allow me to open ports, seeings as the Magnet 2wire router is firewalled AND password protected?

What is the contention ratio of Broadband with Magnet Entertainment?
Magnet Entertainment provides its services using Fibre To The Home (FTTH) and ADSL 2+ technologies. Where we deliver service either through FTTH or ADSL 2+ the broadband services is uncontended. This means that the broadband service delivered is dedicated to you and you will not have to share your line with other users.

So i dunno, my brother has the Magnet Lite Package and he says he gets a solid 490-512kB/s 24/7
