    You download very little.

    I am sure some people have good connection with o2 while others not. Make sure yours is very solid before playing

    Totally depends on your location, also the ping/response times may be up to 1000ms .. resulting in very laggy gameplay especially if you multi table.

    As far as i know you can get a 30 day trial with them and if its not up to scratch, get refunded the money

    But tbh, mobile internet should be your last resort when it comes to online poker

    On the data usage i believe O2 provide 10GB a month as standard, you won`t get any near this if you only play poker. But even streaming youtube videos and the odd download will bump this up pretty damn fast

    All if all, if your serious about playing online poker go with a wired adsl connection(eircom,bt,etc), cable(UPC/NTL), or a fixed wireless service such as Digiweb Metro

    Good luck
