    National Broadband Scheme And Three Broadband?
    If you are getting very poor BB reception in Dublin?

    Is it possible to get Three to install a Booster near my home to improve the signal?.

    this is a waste of funds...they would rather support extension of dsl broadband to rural areas than this crap mobile broadband that will become extinct in the distant future when dsl will be available nationwide

    only Eircom is available in my area (and **** that) with 3 broadband i have to stick out the modem out the window in order to get any coverage...when i have full coverage even so i cant reach over 0.7mbps during the day

    Of course its a complete waste of money giving a mobile company funds to roll out a nationwide bb network it would have been better if they gave the money to UPC or eircom to expand their networks..
    i usually get between 1-3mb in day time with 3 and max of 4.5mb at night you must just be in a bad area one area can be good next can be crap its so urealiable midband is

    yeah when i was in first year in college we had the 15 mb package...was awesome lag free broadband...no restrictions either :) the joys of being able to watch Full HD videos online :)

    with my current record breaking 0.7 mbps dl speeds with 3 mifi modem i cant even watch a 360 video without having to wait about a minute before its downloaded (approx 1 min vid)...imagine if i tried watching 10 min videos...frustration would be unimaginable
