    Just posted my number to 48 and wondering how others are finding it, particularly their data speeds. Very little to be found on here about them

    The speeds are pretty crap, you are stuck with only 3G, no 4G. I'm only with them because I have dual SIM and use the other Vodafone SIM for data.

    Mainly using it for browsing when away from wifi and very occasional netflix. Seems to be 5-7mbs which seems ok if consistent for browsing. Just wondering if speeds are consistent countrywide

    It uses the three network which is the worst of all the networks because of their all you can eat packages, oversubscribed. My Vodafone SIM is always much faster in built up areas

    Three are getting faster and Vodafone slower. The delta is shrinking rapidly. Also VF have had sporadic massive slowdowns that don't match contention so not all is peachy with team red right now.

    Been using it for good few days now and really impressed by then. Much better coverage where I live over vodafone. Data everywhere I have been so far. Lowe speeds in the rural area I live but still plenty to browse with. In galway city yesterday getting speeds of 20mbs which seemed excellent for this plan

    Any chance your phone might have been blacklisted? 2nd hand?

    I have found that since they increased the data from 1gb to 3gb on the €10 account, the speeds are shockingly low over in west Dublin. Very poor speed on 3g and a lot of drops down to E. End up having to turn on and off of mobile data to get back on the net
