Imagine LTE Rural Broadband

Mine will hit 150 overnight but 6 to 11 in the evening is pretty much unusable now. I've phoned about it but get told it's my fault, when though there's only one device connected when I test. I did a test now with my laptop wired to router, nothing else connected and got 292kbps and it took 4 attempts to get a result at all. Mine was great for 2.5 years but the last 8 months have been progressively worse.

In the recent spectrum auction Imagine almost doubled their spectrum holding for nationwide use. One would assume this could ease up on congestion once it comes online.

Mine is actually fairly good this evening, up around 15 or 16 Mbps. Hopefully it will help ease congestion soon

I'm near Newmarket. Maybe 3 or 4 km to mast. It was great for 2.5 years then downhill all the way since. Maybe see if any neighbours have imagine and check with them first?

I'm going to try 3 as soon as they activate 5g here.

Here as well - Mayo/Roscommon border. My system reports down since approx 3:15 am last night. Happy enough I have backup broadband link with other ISP. 8-)

^^ Lucky you. ;-P

Still down here:

Up here as well. 11:37 connected.

The good thing of all that outage is I finally found a moment to set auto-rollover thing on my main router. :-D

Reporting the same in Roscommon. The neighbours on Imagine were the same so definitely something wrong with at least one or more of the masts.

Down at nearly an identical time this Thursday as last. Third day inside a month with a major outage.

I'm with imagine 3 and a half years. I have to say it has been brilliant. I'd say have I called customer support no more than 5 times. Once was becausey speed was chopped because my credit card was never updated.

2 young kids who spend most of their free time on tablets. Sometimes have issues streaming but can be resolved with quick router reset.

I still reckon it's pricey for what is, especially when you compare it to Starling at the new rate.

If you can handle the install cost, you might find it's a more reliable service with better speeds all day, every day.

When I first got it, ~16 months ago, there would have been regular enough little outages (1 - 3 seconds), but coverage has improved such that it doesn't happen any more. As to latency, it runs between 25-50ms. There are some on the Starlink thread that game and say it's OK, some say it's not good. I don't game, so I don't notice it. I used to notice the ~1000ms latency of geo-satellites when I had that type of connection years ago.

As you can see I get fairly consistent speeds: https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120496225#Comment_120496225

Here I show what my coverage is now, which includes a link to my previous coverage: https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120554094/#Comment_120554094
