    There's no 4G anywhere in Ireland, not even at 3.9G LTE yet. Marketing crap as as usual.

    It looks like those meetings are for door-to-door salespeople positions.

    knotknowbody I've edited your post as boards is not giving a company free advertising for door to door salesman for something that likely will never see the light of day and is likely nothing more the a marketing scam.

    Sounds like a SPAM mail to me. You should have ignored it, and anyone else that receives the same or similar should also ignore it too.

    Yeah no problem, didn't think it would matter posting the times when the meetings were already over, just wanted to try and find out a bit more about it, but as everybody here thinks it's spam, it's probably spam.

    It's possibly Imagine's poor "Imagine WiMax". Technically 4G technology, but poor "roll out" concept gives mostly 3G performance. (3.6GHz indoor Nomadic)

    http://www.clearwire.ie/
    Imagine has acquired Clearwire Broadband Ireland
    There are various other things called "Broadband Ireland". This is the most likely.
    In that actual 3G/HSPA (Meteor, O2, 3, Vodafone) is similar performance and ACTUALLY Mobile (really handy) and REALLY Nationwide (Clearwire/Imagine have NO national allocation), they are better than Imagine Wimax.

    Of course "proper" fixed "real" Broadband (UPC, DSL, Fixed Wireless, Fibre) is better. Even if only 1Mbps!

    1Mbps DSL is "Better" than Up To Imagine WiMax or Up To Mobile speeds of 3, 7.2, 14 or even 21Mbps.
