John_Mc

Got me application in, so fingers crossed!

Meteor Mobile Broadband Trial



Meteor Mobile Broadband will be launching in early 2009. This great new product means you will be able to access your email and internet from your laptop or home PC at broadband speeds.



At Meteor we are committed to providing the best possible service so we are inviting some of our valued customers to participate in a pre launch trial of Mobile Broadband. The feedback from the trial will be used in the development of the final product.



Sign me up



If you would like to take part in this exclusive product trial you can enter your details at the link here www.meteor.ie/mobilebroadbandtrial/. If you are one of the customers chosen, our team will be in contact with you over the coming weeks.



The trial will run from November 2008 until the end of January 2009. We are looking for people aged 18 years or over who have a personal laptop or PC, who will be using Mobile Broadband in Dublin or Cork city and who have a keen interest in helping us to develop our Mobile Broadband product.

If you are interested simply enter your details before the 7th of November 2008.



Thanks,



Meteor

Signed up myself too. Wonder how the selection process will go.
Maybe they track the usage of your existing phone geographically to see if your a good fit for the test?

In that case I think I'll start driving around the city for the weekend.

Time to start the mega meteor mobile bb problems thread.

Well considering I cant get 3g at home or at work, I'm not sure how good a tester I'll be...

Won't this just be Eircom broadband realistically?!

No, it'll be on Meteor's 3g mobile network.

I know, but my chances are slim anyway. All they have to do is check my 3G stats and they'll see that I'm only getting erratic coverage. I.e none at work and none at home.

Said I'd give others the chance, me being so considerate and all

metalfest

haha :P

Obviously no rush as the closing date's in November, but would have thought there would have been more interest in this.
Maybe a post in the Broadband forum ?

Anyone got a call back yet? I wonder what they will give their trial customers this time? Obviously the internet will be free from November to the end of Janurary. Maybe keep the USB dongle after the trial, the same cash incentive as the mobile 3G trial? Anyone got any other suggestions ? Meteor might be reading this

I'm guessing this will be the page when the service launches in 2009, all it says is "Test Page " at the moment.

Very interested to see what Meteor are going to come up with in terms of plans and pricing and also in terms of modems etc.

As for coverage .. I have little faith in their 3G network at the moment (due to the small area it covers) but I'm assuming they're expanding this as the trial continues

Hopefully the mobile and pda's gang is chosen again

Maybe they might listen this time.
*Tops up 3 SIM by €10 for data, sighs*

i'd really like to see them do something new with pricing - maybe a deal with Eircom to provide a fixed line/mobile broadband and telephone combo, all your telco needs for, say, €70 a month ?

i'd definitely go for a deal with basic home broadband plus mobile for €25 plus line rental p/m ?

Having said that they didn't show much desire for a fight with their "me too" 3G pricing

Fresh Pots

anybody hear anymore about this?

John_Mc

Nope, nothing as of yet!
