    If Vf is crap I wouldn't expect better results from anyone else. Three are 3G only so network coverage can deteriorate as more & more people initiate data connections.

    Also, Dublin 3 (fairview/clontarf) is very low geographically which is difficult for networks to provide coverage ie: Ground floor indoor coverage.

    Why not get some free prepay sims from Three/02/Meteor from their websites and try out for yourself.

    Being that distance from a 3G mast is probably a nightmare.

    Residential masts might provide around 1-2km indoor coverage, depending on mobile broadband users (who are prioritised connection) in an area causes a shrink in masts coverage.

    3G in General is at too high a Bandwidth (2100Mhz) compared to GSM 900Mhz or 1800Mhz if there are frequency conflicts with operators.

    Long story short higher the Frequency worse the coverage.

    That said, I actually wouldn't recommend Three especially if your looking for support from their "Customer Care"

    Slightly incorrect. 3 now have two carrier frequencies on their network. One for talk and text and one for mobile broadband, so more broadband customers will not effect voice and text customers.

    Since I have moved to North Strand, I have been having problems with the signal.
