    On the NBS in rural Kildare.

    Tests were 5 mins apart ... this is typical speed ... I've been getting similar all day.

    Edit - thought this latest speed test was worth including (run 15 minutes after first test) ... both upload and download speeds have more than doubled in last 15 mins!!!!!

    How do you manage to get it that high? Have you extra equipment like a signal booster?

    You have a point about the students Jay. O2 sold a huge number of €10 a month packages to students particularly between september and december last year. They are still at it.

    This would have meant that a lot of O2 cells were saturated in studenty areas during college time. They are all at home with d'mammy in Drogheda now and would account for a disimprovement that became noticeable in the past 2-3 weeks. It will go on till mid september I am sorry to say.

    OTOH someone in the leafier parts of the south or the north Dublin suburbs could have sees a marked improvement in speeds that will continue all summer :)

    yeah i was starting to notice a big dive in speeds since their summer holidays started :( they are still sellings the student offers :eek: i taught that was done away with..i think there is 2 masts in range of where i live but both seem to get super jammed in the evenings.when i was with 3 barely any speed drops which shown that the 3 mast in my area must be very uncontended im willing to stick with o2 for the time it was great before all the students finished school ah well lol..i wonder if o2 plan to upgrade their network speed yet ?

    Limerick is slightly better for me. :)

    Tbh, we are lucky having o2 here as officially we have no coverage according to all the o2 maps. 3 and NBS have bombarded the locality with their propaganda leaflets. I have heard from some of 3's victims and they are getting very poor speeds on 3. I just nod my head and agree with them. I have not told anyone I can get o2 here so I hope to keep it my little secret.
