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 0 -

Is that Vodafone at home Broadband or Mobile Broadband ? I suspect Home :P0 -

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 ?
not as bad today as it was last night!!0 -
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.0 -

My speed since last Thursday has been very easy to calculate ... 0mbps upload and 0mbps download.
The mi-fi modem simply refuses to connect. I've tried to get some joy from 3 tech support in Mumbai, but they are saying it'll take until the end of the week (at least) till someone will be able to get out to me. From previous experience I'm guessing it'll be weeks before this is sorted out 0 -

I will summarise the results and let the mods lock the thread up.
1. O2 are the worst network. Nobody seems to get the full advertised speed with O2 ever. This is unacceptable.
2. Three are second worst. However Three have uncongested _parts_ of their network for once and can deliver at or near advertised speeds on occasion and not just in NBS areas. Until recently they were the worst.
3. Vodafone are third worst . Busy if large network and with some oversold areas. A decent build rate would be nice.
4. Meteor are the best. This is understandable given how few customers they have. In Mobile Midband land a small switch from the others to Meteor could put them in last place in no time.
The next survey .....maybe in 6 months....should take place after 14mbit campaigns and alleged slight ping improvements. We shall see.
Yes this is unscientific but you may PM me if you represent an operator and see how far you get 0 -
