    Indeed and now its awful again.

    It won't even load up the SPEEDTEST webpage!

    Only thing it will load up is a couple of forums, which I assume are low on bandwidth due to lack of graphics etc?

    My signal has changed to EDGE if that means anything?



    Edit:
    Just tried again, and now the server has moved over to Dundalk (all the other tests were using Limerick).

    This is not broadband, its slightly faster dial-up. I don't have much hope for this over the weekend if its this slow on a Friday midday.

    If I was to go with 3, what is their trial period like? Do you only get a couple of days as well?

    Also, is it there standard service you get in this area, or the NBS special offer? Where can I get a dongle for that?

    I think its 2 weeks to test it or you get your money back, its just the standard dongle.

    Sorry for bumping an old thread.

    Anyone know which network provides best 3G cover in Maghery area? I have a Vodafone fixed wireless router & it fluctuates between 3G (~2M) to HSUPA (~300K) to no network and is mad frustrating. Thinking of either switching to Three or investing in a better quality router with antennae on long cables ...
