Just switched over to the triple-play SmartVision pack. Phone, BB and TV - 100 yoyos a month incl 25e worth of calls each month.

It rocks...

4.44 Mbps downstream (yep 4.44 rocksolid fuppin Mbps)
3.55 Mbps up stream
Ping to boards 14ms, jolt.co.uk 23-13ms, google.ie 42ms

Tech Guy told me that there is about 1Gb of bandwidth at the mo, happy days.

Just got on this package today. I'd be getting roiughly the same speeds if I wasn't downloading
Boards.ie ping is 17ms, google.ie is 47ms.

Out of curiosity then MadsL - are you a neighbour of mine in Smithfield Market?

I got the email saying they are sending me out the form so i had a few queries and rang tech support and they said they'd send me out a form as i hadnt got mine yet. Still no form, in Cork on Quaker Road exchange

I had a call from Smart on Fri evening to say that Quaker Road went live that morning. They spoke about 10 days so hopefully something will happen in the next week or two.

Using Smart wireless broadband in Ballygarvan near Cork Airport.Its a community scheme funded by government. Presently only on free trial but I understand they will start charging for it shortly.
Speed around 530kB/s downstream.
Works well when it works.Goes out of service occasionally with no explanation.

Tech Support: non-existent.Rang Smart's contact number from their website and person did not even know there was a trial going on

A 'Rollout Manager' rang me back later and knew about it. But could NOT help with problem.

Niall Clyne of Waterland Technologies installs it as a sub-contractor for Smart.
No contact from Smart ever.Clyne's installer comes to house, installs antenna, plugs usb lead into computer, installs software, checks signal and leaves

You get a user name and password for authentication.
Connection drops from time to time.Removing the usb lead and plugging back in restores it - sometimes.

The only reason I'm using Smart is its the only service available .You could get Digiweb but price is too high.Smart expect to charge 35 euro per month.
They were extremely slow to start installing.Waiting to see if there was demand.They have picked it up a bit now and connected a few people last week.

Would NOT recommend them if you have an alternative choice.

I've now got a Smart router, my phone has switched over to the new Smart number, but I've no broadband!

I setup the router according to instructions, but the last step which involves pinging the Smart server just doesn't work. Is this normal? I asked the customer service and they said that I wasn't connected yet, but they seemed to think that my phone wasn't connected either!!

Is the "Link" light on the front steady on or is it just blinking away?
