Got a text from Imagine 4 hours after the downtime started to say that their third party fibre provider was down lol. Modem seemed to have all signal lights lit up again this morning though at least, will have to swap the access point over again.

Ahh here, thats not what I'd call OK.
Yeh can't stream reliably at that kind of speed.

I'm going to try Vodafone, they've said they will allow me to take the wireless box home for the weekend to try it out.

Nobody else was willing to let us suck it and see so they just might get the business.. even it they are equivalent speeds they are twenty bucks a month cheaper...

Ahh I'd doubt we'd go through that in a month.
The kids are small, so there's just a coupla hours of youtube at the weekends.
And I'd only get to watch maybe 2 matches at the weekend.
But when I do sit down to do that I want the feckin stream to work.
Imagine has let me down during so many Heineken cup matches on a Saturday ...
Its pure frustrating...

Many of them will be awake and not in work from December 24th to January 2nd, could be quite a stress test for the Imagine network.

Worse than usual Saturday speeds today...Once the NBP starts rolling it better start rolling fast.

Terrible speeds in our house too, basically unusable. Using phone to write this!

I’m going to take great satisfaction calling up and cancelling imagine when nbp reaches us

Actually had an opportunity to use imagine today for the craic to download iOS13.3 (coming from using 1000mb FTTH at home it was obviously doomed from the start) after an hour it was still downloading ffs. Near Dundrum. I assume Hollyford mast?

Following this thread from the beginning screen screenshot-ing and sending the most shocking Speedtest results to the department of communications on a bi-weekly basis. They probably have me on their spam list since I don’t get automated replies back anymore.

Have to say I’m really really looking forward to the day I see posts on here of the mass exodus of imagine customers to NBP/Eircom etc.

I signed up in March with €100 deposit, supposedly coming to my area in July (just a tiny bit outside Macroom in Cork. I'm struggling along tethering Three which is garbage most of the time). All along I suspected this won't go well.

Heard nothing by July, got onto them, they said "Sorry, October now". October comes and goes - "Sorry, December now".

My wife put a very mild grumble on one of the Imagine posts on Facebook and within minutes I got a phone call from them saying it's now February but as a way of apology they'd refund my deposit and said there'd be no installation fee.

I thought "yeah right...." but the €100 is back in my account today so that's something.

I'm expecting that I still won't ever be getting this service but at least I have my cash back.

To be fair and honest, they have been grand so far this Christmas. New xbox with 4 games with large downloads needed for the kids. Not much waiting.

Well as of this morning, we're being throttled to 1mb. Lovely.

you must have gone over the 1tb data cap/fair usage? Your speed throttle should reset and be lifted on New Years Day.

To be fair,that's a weak wifi signal from your router
It's not your real imagine speed

Just spotted Imagine on their website advertise the 1TB FUP as a "Terabyte Connection". Is that misleading or no? Not to mention "150mbps speeds" rather than including the infamous "up to" phrase.

they will use any term they can get away with to market their wireless service as a fibre connection with all the same strengths as FTTH, blinding consumers and hiding the reality.

Yes, both correct, and I understand that. It's just a bit crappy to have it happen when everyone is at home. Such is life, but that doesn't make it feel any better.

Still going well for Xmas time.

that's an incredible speed for Imagine, i'd say very few ever get this. It's almost as good as Eir 300/50 fibre.
