    I nearly pissed myself when I read this thread title! :D

    Thought I was gonna get to say something like, "Welcome to the internet, 'tis alright so it is!".

    But no. How disappointing. :rolleyes:

    From personal experience and those of other users I know, the Vodafone, O2 and Eircom (think it might be Meteor??? - the stick was branded Eircom anyway) sticks work fine though they'd never be anything to write home about. Unless things have changed dramatically in the world of 3 since I was unfortunate enough to be a user of their "fraudband", keep well away from them.

    I had the 02, signal wasn't great, Vodafone - dire, Meteor best of a bad lot.
    I'm out in the Shticks down in South Kilkenny, the Meteor is sufficient for downloading mails/browsing net but not good for looking at content on youtube (ridiculously slow) and any downloads take a fortnight to 3 weeks to download :rolleyes:

    I've used it closer to town and found it pretty much the same, not much faster.
    Its not actually receiving 'broadband' signal, its 'Edge' signal that its receiving.

    A friend of mine had the 3 modem, he's in town and signal was ok, think he was happy enough with it.
