    Noticed that too in rural north Roscommon, maps are grossly inaccurate. Ther was barely 2g coverage yet the maps had full 4g coverage!

    I was with gomo for a week in sligo Town. Absolutely brutal, at home I would have to go out the front door to make a call and was getting lots of dropped ones. The centre of town was OK for reception but data speeds didn't get above 10 megs and usually were a lot lower.

    Yes. I can't make or receive calls in Westport town. Ok just outside the town but not when I'm at work. Eir told me the nearest mast was offline for repairs for 1 hour a day but I have no signal at anytime. Have missed loads of calls. Apparently the next nearest mast is ok but I automatically connect to the nearest mast so I think I have a signal until I try to make a call.
    Was told by Eir customer Care that I'd have to (a) replace the SIM - made no difference. and (b) try a different phone - made no difference obviously because it's the mast that is the problem. Not happy with service or customer care.

    Was switching between H+ and 4G+ for a few days in Castlebar but no issue for calls or browsing the web, seems to be normal again.
    I've just come from Westport and have no issue at all there, similar for the mother in law and she's living in Westport.

    Edit: On Gomo now from Eir but same network.
