Hi there,
There is an issue with role permissions that is being worked on at the moment.

Im on vodafone and they are definitley 3g only some areas (very rural areas) are still on 2.5g
your on meteor arent you?
Vodafone 3G is 2.5G, when 3G comes up on your vodafone fone that means your now in a 2.5G area.....techinally 2.5G counts as 3G but it sure aint 3.5G...don't you just love vodafone customers and there blind faith:D
As for me being on meteor, i'm not but my brother is, but guess who he uses for his brodband? I'll give you a hint, it's not meteor or vodafone....0 -

Where are eircom testing their 3G network at present ???
The licence is not 'vested' in Meteor even if the service will eventually be 'branded' as Meteor , its eircom 3g for the moment
They are also rolling out a tetra network0 -

Yea, looks like it will suit drunkmonkey grand.The main advantages of TETRA over other technologies (such as GSM) are:- the much lower frequency used gives longer range, which in turn permits very high levels of geographic coverage with a smaller number of transmitters, thus cutting infrastructure costs.
- High spectral efficiency - 4 channels in 25 kHz and no guard bands, compared to GSM with 8 channels in 200 kHz and guard bands.
- very fast call set-up - a one to many group call is generally set-up within 0.5 seconds (typical less than 250 msec for a single node call) compared with the many seconds (typically 7 to 10s) that are required for a GSM network.
- Works at high speeds >400 km/h. TETRA was used during the French TGV train speed record on 3 April 2007 at 574.8 km/h.
- the system contains several mechanisms, designed into the protocols and radio parameters, to ensure communication success even during overload situations (e.g. during major public events or disaster situations), thus calls will always get through unlike in cellular systems. The system also supports a range of emergency calling modes.
- TETRA infrastructure is usually separate from (but connected to) that of the public (mobile) phone networks, resulting in (normally) no call charges for the system owners, substantially more diverse and resilient communications and it is easy to customise and integrate with data applications (vehicle location, GIS databases, dispatch systems etc).
- unlike most cellular technologies, TETRA networks typically provide a number of fall-back modes such as the ability for a base station to process local calls. So called Mission Critical networks can be built with TETRA where all aspects are fail-safe/multiple-redundant.
- in the absence of a network mobiles/portables can use 'direct mode' whereby they share channels directly (walkie-talkie mode).
- gateway mode - where a single mobile with connection to the network can act as a relay for other nearby mobiles that are out of range of the infrastructure.
- TETRA also provides a point-to-point function that traditional analogue emergency services radio systems did not provide. This enables users to have a one-to-one trunked 'radio' link between sets without the need for the direct involvement of a control room operator/dispatcher.
- unlike the cellular technologies, which connect one subscriber to one other subscriber (one-to-one) then TETRA is built to do one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many. These operational modes are directly relevant to the public safety and professional users.
- TETRA supports both air-interface encryption and End-to-end encryption
- Rapid deployment (transportable) network solutions are available for disaster relief and temporary capacity provision.
- Equipment is available from many suppliers around the world, thus providing the benefits of competition
- Network solutions are available in both the older circuit-switched (telephone like) architectures and flat, IP architectures with soft (software) switches.
- Allows uncensored access to redtube

On a mere point of telecoms, EDGE and the slightly older, slower GPRS are both 2.5G, in that they are tacked on to existing 2G network to increase data rates while still using core 2G technology of TDMA.
I'm on O2, and don't use data side of things much but it never struck me as 3G I have to say... chug chug.
I'm with Eircom and have a 3Mb line and this is my test just now
This one is on the O2 speedtest forum!! :mad:
