    Website is working fine for me


    Got through to gary on live chat he was very helpful. Apparently registering with gomo doesn't play well with outlook

    Maybe for billpay but prepay eir vs gomo is same boat. Anyone on Eir prepay may as well change to gomo

    Maybe he is billpay. He told me he is paying 60e a month. If he doesn't get 4G everywhere for that kind of money it's time to fold his tent and head for the hills. :D

    I still know people that see no problem in watching video in SD, something I consider almost unbearable.

    I'm my day we had a black and white television that took half an hour to heat up the valves. We had 3 channels in North Roscommon RTE and snowy BBC1 and UTV from Northern Ireland. :D

    Hey , that was in Ballybane/Ballybrit area I'm back home in rural Co.Galway and averaged 13mbps . No in city I only ran it once, it was enough to see that once :o I think as people have already suggested contention in urban areas will bring it down and pi$$ peeps off :eek:

    When I got up this morning I got woeful speeds on a test. I ran another test straight away and my speed was back to normal.
    Strange but true!

    It's a bit tough if you're confronted with ~ 250 pages of posts on a small mobile device. I did try reading some but none I saw answered the specific question I posed. I got the answer I needed and no thanks to you and your self espoused helpfulness.

    It wasn't a very specific question

    Wondering if there's a way to check usage? Nothing on the account seems to indicate you can. Maybe after the billing period it'll probably generate one's usage.

    People I know are now cancelling their wired internet connection and replacing it with a GoMo sim in a hotspot. This is saving them €40 a month and currently there is enough bandwidth for them to get by for things like Netflix and general web browsing.
    I emphasise "currently", I still think people who don't realise this service will eventually get to the stage where it is almost unusable in congested areas at peak times are delusional. The only thing that can prevent this from happening is if other providers offer a similar service in the coming months.

    I did that when 3 added/upgraded a mast near me and got decent 4G, weird thing is it's been crap last few months. I've a sneaking suspicion they throttled it when a certain festival was on for a week and never opened it up again for the locals

    I remember paying Sky like €50 a month for broadband and like €15 to Tesco for the mobile the time

    Dropped both for €20 a month for 3

    Have a gomo SIM ordered to test out anyways

    Reality is 3-5Mb is plenty fast for mobile unless you want a lot of streaming etc. 95% of mobile data users are interested in communications and browsing.

    Reset network settings then on the phone - test the sim in another phone.

    Will have to try that next time I'm near that phone

    To be honest, there are dozens of posts in this thread (including the last few pages) directly answering your question about “what the coverage and data speeds are like”. And given the fact that experience will differ hugely depending on time and location, going through the existing posts and seeing what the average experience seems to be would give a much better idea than sticking to the specific experience of the 2 or 3 people who will directly answered a new post with that question.

    Just saying ...

    It'll probably be available online... Can't your phone do that for you? Pretty sure it can, depending on what phone you have...

    I find it hard to watch some 70s films in HD. It just seems wrong for the 70s.

    More specific that your useless and profoundly unhelpful answer was. Thankfully, you and your ilk are in the minority around here.

    You're missing out, the transfer of 2001 from 70mm film to 4k uhd digital is amazing.

    Check you have an APN setup. It should automatically be there but not always.

    Only unhelpful to those truly lazy enough to not bother to read the last few pages of the thread to see if their general query has been asked and answered, which it has many many times. The coverage is the same as Meteor/Eir and speed is dependant on location, signal and which technology your device connects on. Good for some, poor for others

    And your last two sentences instead of a presumptuous expletive blurt that I'm lazy would've been fine.

    You got called out for being downright lazy and are now just making a show of yourself. Others have thanked my posts. We'll just leave it at that.

    After getting a message from support yesterday that my port was 'stuck' I checked the website and saw that I need to reschedule. I've done that now so fingers crossed for 9am tomorrow. I've changed my other half's port for the same time in case that was the issue. We're both on the same account at VM but had seceduled different port times.

    Porting works much better during the week. We've ported 3, mine took 18 hours over the last weekend. The other two took minutes mid week

    No you were presumptuous and no stage did you have the decency to acknowledge what I said about wading through 250 pages of pre-existing posts. It's not that easy on a small screen.

    Anyone can like someone else's posts but I see nobody wading inm I've no qualms about calling out a presumptuous smart ass for what they are. Likes or no likes.

    And as I said, the last two sentences in your post twice ago would've been fine. But no, your a high horse alright with a name to live up to and you had to add two and two and get five thinking I was lazy. You're not really that helpful, are you? No, you're quite deluded if you think you are.

    If I were you I'd stop now before making a show of yourself.
