o2 broadband in Cork City

Jack burton · 2009-09-21 18:01:41

Well lads, i need to get broadband for my new house in Cork, Im going to be living up in the Green street area off barracks street and i was planning on getting the student o2 package, i was just wondering if anyone else around there had it and what were the speeds like on weekday evenings? Any information would be great!…

On O2, it does tend to slow down a small bit at peak times, but I wouldn't say it's bad, last time I tried Three broadband it was pretty much unusable though.
I'll check this evening to see what my transfer rates are like.

I live near college and its great during the day but in evenings (say 10 ish) it doesnt seem fast at all, not a lot faster than dial up sometimes
