    Hey guys
    I have signed up for this only 3 days ago.
    After reading here i think I should have stuck with Vodafone at home..!

    Is it really as bad as everyone appears to be saying?

    Now If I look out my window I can see the mast they have their (transmitter?) on. It is around 300 meters from me with a clear view.
    ASlso
    when on to the sales guy he said there is no cap whatsoever but i have heard since and also read here about a 30 gig cap??
    is this true??
    if so i think a phone call to imagine tomorrow and cancel.. :(

    I got Ripplecom for my parents in the deep beyonds of Offaly.
    Phone coverage is poor there and eircom cabinet is about 4 miles away.

    Working great and solid 8mb. There was installation fee. But it's great when I go there, I can still be contactable for work etc
