Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

are you in carlow etcetc? my speed has been rubbish all night! it has improved somewhat now after the hoards of students start to nod off to sleep in front of their laptops:)
did these at around 11:40, speedtest sites time is an hour behind.
no artane dublin area
thankfully not too many students on the o2 student special around0 -

Tethering my iPhone on 3 network and ran this speed test...surely it can't be right.
sweet mother of jesus - i dont think they are trying the new HSPA+ upgrades (theoretical 42mb download) until next year plus the relaistic speed even with that upgrade wouldnt hit that...if you see the same thing again do multiple test and disconnect and reconnect and do a few more and see if its stable...its very unlikely that its accurate...

My first post, and latest speed test from Imagine. We just got it set up yesterday, a fixed unit, with an aerial placed on my chimney. I've seen the speed hit 8Mb in a spike, on a 3Mb package, 6km from the base.
So far, I've had no problems with Imagine, other than the throttling of torrents.
Considering that I've moved to 5Mb from .25Mb through an ADSL provider (Vodafone most recently, who I thankfully managed to escape.)0 -

Is there a difference to signing up to the NBS or with 3? I know it's the same providers but are the costs/services etc different, like I have 30gb allowance for €26 a month and I paid €49.99 for the huwei router. Or is it all just the one thing. Also is a repeater just like an aerial you have on your roof?
repeater is a box you put on your window but it can be connceted to an ariel and it repeats the signal that you are getting from where its located on a closed channel only recievable with a dongle while the router recieves it from the same place but it accessable with anything that has wifi plus the router can be configured for better perfomance while the repeater cant...ive the router b60a i think and its far more efficent and handy for me as i have several wifi devices and it seems to recieve the signal just as well as a repeater....ive a repeater for a while and it kept disconnecting with no reason at all and i could only access the internet via one dongle so no shared internet conncetion unless you set up Internet Conncetion Sharing on a PC and shared your internet via wifi but the computer would have to be on for that to work...
plus the NBS only has 25gb data but is supposed to garentee a min service of 1.2 mb and the highest latency of 120ms....NBS or none...it wont improve your performance from my experience
you will still recieve the same 3 network through the router or the repeater
BTW - did you know the b60a router can be hooked up to an ariel as well :P0 -

Ah cool, didn't realise a repeater was like a crappy router. The Huwei with 3 seems pretty decent so far. Just need an aerial know and I'll be happy out
you could see if it is possible but it will depend on the ariel configuration and if it will work with the router but i dont see why not

Some guy got it for his 3 Huwei router but he didn't realise the aerial was so big so he said he'd give it to me at a discount, he sells laptops etc and fixes computer for a living so I'm hoping he had the sense to get one that's compatible. 0 -

awesome dude let us know how it goes and if it made a difference - could you provide info on your current conncetion quality and when you have it could you then provide some more data with the new setup in operation please ?:)
what does it look like btw and how big is it?0 -
Yeah I'm quite curious as to the difference, will post it up when I get it sorted. Haven't seen it yet though, but I think it's familiar to standard t.v aerials or something similar to the likes of what you get with Permanet or Irish BB.
This is my 3 connection
This is my 70 euros a month eircom DSL connection. Most people think I'm mad giving up DSL for mobile broadband but Eircom aint exactly offering amazing speeds.
