    Their website is disappointingly vague on the limit. Why not email them and get it from the horse's mouth?

    Had Wimax for a number of years, at the time it was faster than any of the wired alternatives, and had no significant issues with it during that time, only changed to Efibre ( still with Imagine) when that became available as the fibre is a LOT faster.

    I never hit a cap, but I didn't use it that much for things like torrents or movies etc. We are not far from the base station, so the wireless side of it worked reliably at over the rated 8Mb indoors without an external aerial or repeater to boost the signal.

    Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁

    I was told on the phone that the limit is 150gb. On the website is says unlimited. If it is any good I would think about getting it. I now have three and it is 39.99 a month for 60gb.

    Hi all just received a letter stating Imagine Wimax will be shutting down the Dublin operation and you have to look for another provider I have looked and cannot find one as I have an old copper phone line on our lane from the 1950's and we live near Dublin airport and in this day and age cannot get broadband through a landline connection to my houses but on the other side of our lane the new housing developments have broadband, but on our side myself and my neighbours on the other side of the road do not have this service form the phone line as it is to old.

    I have tried many different wireless dongles but they are not a great option has any body been able to get a broadband service without a phone line as my options look very limited unless you go by satellite and I have been informed this is not great either.
