    Ha haaa. You've asked the wrong question here. Wait for 20 replies saying it's crap.

    I use it and for me it's great. I seem to be able to get 2Mb up and down pretty consistantly. I've had no limits on the amount I can download either. I'm on the 2Mb Breeze plan (soon to be upgraded to 3Mb hopefully).

    They seem to be a mixed bag. Those that have it working OK like them. Those that don't seem to have nightmares.

    I don't live anywhere near Ballinteer.

    If you're interested in the "fixed wireless" service (Breeze Home), then walk around your neighbourhood looking for houses with a small square antenna on the roof - about 30cm square, with a silver mesh, rather than a solid "dish". They're probably IBB antennas, and your best bet for feedback on the quality of the service would be to talk to these people.

    (It's been a year or two since I walked through Broadford looking for these antenna - there were quite a few).

    Here's the only picture of a Breeze antenna that Google Images could find:
