Meteors 3G is FANTASTIC, but i've hit my cap!

Munsterforever

Ok let me firstly give all the reasons why Meteors 3G is amazing::D

+ The Dongle Cost €24.99 because I'm a student
+ The speeds are are always 4.5+ Meg Download and 1 Meg Upload.
+ The coverage is Galway City is great
+ The Meteor staff both in shop and on the phone have been extremely helpful
+ The Supplied Dongle works PERFECTLY on Win7 x64
+ Torrents work a dream
+ It's faster than my DSL at home
+ Your own (seemingly static) IP

And my only dislikes are::mad:

-The Latency (~120ms but I know this is a weakness in 3G technology and not Meteors service)
-5 GB Cap

Now my problem is that I have had the broadband for about 3 weeks (Yes thats right Huwei had the Win7 Drivers ready WELL before the release date) and I have run into my dismal 5GB cap.

What can I do now? Can I top up again and get more bandwidth or what?

Buy a second one , your cap is monthly and will not reset till the next month , if you run 2 of them you get 10gb a month ...seems you need it. Even I am considering sending a student in to get one for me cos 5gb a month would do me fine

Course it is good, they have bugger all customers in Galway as they only launched in september.

and the cap has gone up to 7.5gb to make it that lil bit more appealing

Ah not to worry. We students are too drunk to be on boards, I am just in the position of being ill and unable to consume vast quantities of alcohol at this time!

By my reckoning the service will be ****e in GALWAY by January. Meteor only have around 20 sectors live in the city so if they sign up 300-400 customers they will be as bad as anyone else . They will manage this by January now you told everybody in Galway how good it is .

The Golden Rule of 3G is that IF it is any good then you should tell NOBODY about it.

A sector on a mast can only deliver a stonking service to about 5 customers and thereafter it rapidly heads for ye olde page not found style service.
