Lightnet broadband 100mb?

johnnystork

Hi All,

I see lightnet are now offering "up to 100mb" broadband via wireless or fibre.
I'm out in kylebrack so it would be the wireless version I'd be getting.

Anyone have broadband from them and what sort of speeds are they getting?

I'm also looking for anyone who uses this service ????
After 10 years of a couple of meg 20/40GB a month I now may have 2 options depending on site test
Imagine and Lightnet
Lightnet's 55euro offering is unlimited though which is a major plus
If it works .......

I am on an old package with them, and hopefully next week, will upgrade to this new "up to 100mb" package. They reckon maybe 20mb on the wireless.

How have you found the service
Do they throttle speeds at peak times

Just moved to the "new improved" service today. Seems to be 25/30Mb

To early to tell if throttling, will update in a few days

Mostly good, a few minor (1/2 minutes) service interruptions the first week, but all good since them,

I can download a 300MB "Linux Distribution" in 3/4 minutes of a good day.

We are a heavy users, the wife has an IPTV service with uses about 250GB a month, and it has improved since we migrated.

I'm tempted to give airwire another go as the contract is only 6 months ..........

just to update my experience... I got a Three SIM-only data card for €20 a month PAYG and all-you-can-eat ... slapped it into a 3/4G » wifi Huawei device and stuck it up on a window facing the mast (Thonabrucky)... working great even though the unit has to be re-charged every day or so... just in case someone is within sight of a 4G site and has no other options.... was determined not to give Eircom a red cent....
