    I'm on meteor, I think they are all on it, the mast is near the toll plaza outside portlaois. A friend has ever better coverage on Vodafone

    I live in Carlow and can get 4G from all providers but I'm with Three.

    Can get anywhere from 14Mb to 40Mb, incredibly patchy unfortunately.

    Vodafone installed 4G on our local mast here in Meath in the summer time still no other network has brought 4G to the area.

    I get around 35-50 Mb/s down and 20Mb/s up all the time.
    Vodafone seem to cover alot of rural areas with 4G , i was with Meteor for a while and their 4G is hard to find in alot of areas mostly in towns and the cities. 3 are the worst for 4G barely seen it when i was with them and when i did get 4G the speed wasn't above 10Mb/s .

    3 have a lot of catching up to do with Vodafone and Meteor maybe now since they own O2 they can build a bigger 4G network than the other 2 doubt that will be happening anytime soon..

    Agreed 3 are pretty woeful in terms of their 4G coverage or even their 3G coverage is pretty shocking

    I was with meteor 4G for about a year now I'm with vodafone 4G since September.

    While meteor was pretty good and reliable vodafone is a whole lot better in terms of coverage and peak speeds.
    The indoor coverage with meteor wasn't great but with vodafone it's just as good as outdoors.

    1800mhz vs 800mhz I suppose.
