Wirelss broadband

That Girl · 2009-09-08 21:18:41

I am moving into a new flat in the coming week and I have decided not to opt for getting a line installed with eircom. I do not need anything other than an internet service (broadband if possible) so I would like to go for wireless. Does anyone have any advice on what provider is the best in terms of speed of connection,…

I do not need anything other than an internet service (broadband if possible) so I would like to go for wireless. Does anyone have any advice on what provider is the best in terms of speed of connection, customer service and price? Any advice will be of great benefit! Thanks

assuming you're talking about the old "internet on a stick" malarky with the likes of o2 or vodafone, that sort of thing is in the Midband Forum cos we don't technically think of it as broadband as it's not quick enough.

everything depends on where you are going to live (not everything is available everywhere), what you want to use it for and how much you want to pay.

i'd imagine a mod will be along to move this thread to the midband forum before too long, so i guess i'll see you over there.

Clearwire is very hit and miss.

If you're in a location that gets a good signal from their antenna then you're laughing.

They're quite good about contract cancellations as they know that it just will not work properly for some people.

If you do go with them, find out where the nearest antenna is and contact their support line to make sure your modem is assigned to it as sometimes they get stuck trying to receive from an antenna miles away.
