    Three, Vodafone, O2 and Meteor all have their own separate networks.

    If you are barely inside Three's coverage map, it more than likely won't work for you.

    If you know fall under the National Broadband Scheme 3 should be able to provide a reliable connection, check to see if your area is covered here... http://ve.bizmaps.ie/threeireland/Pages/Public/NBSPublicPage.aspx

    3's maps are extremely optimistic compared with Vodafone's.

    @drunkmonkey, do you make money selling 3 Modems?

    eircom is Meteor for Mobile.

    Tesco is O2, but not offering a data service yet.
