    Hi,

    have a relative going in and out of hospital for a couple of days at a time; really taking its toll and having internets would help a lot.

    Anyone have any experience specifically of the wireless modems high up in vincents hospital? Or other high-up locations around the place...does that matter at all?

    Mobile phones are tolerated in the wards - so i cant see why a data modem would not be allowed - that sound right?

    Any and all experiences / help / advice appreciated. I'm very conscious of the 3 monster thread above, but i'd prefer to go with their pay-as-you-go option because i dont want a contract as this is [god i hope] a short term problem.

    I'm right in thinking that the majority in the dublin area are getting some connectivity - speed isn't really an issue for this guy, a page loading in a minute is better than no email no news and just the radio or the common tv room all day.

    Why not just go for the O2 one on the 30 day trial ?
    Hopefully your relative wouldnt be in hospital that long and then you can cancel and get a refund

    30 Day trail for O2 seems like best option, either that or Pay As You Go Three option, depends which works in the area really

    Went with the 3 pay as you go, working very well so far so fingers crossed.

    Thanks for the advice.
