    Question for the Talk2O2 people: is there a picture / map of o2 mast locations? I support people, and some of them use the o2 mobile broadband, and I'm looking for a map I can direct them to, so they know which window to point their laptop out (I'm not joking: some of them have fairly bad reception).

    Any help would be great. And no, changing ISP isn't an option, as they have no choice who their ISP is.

    You can also look here on our website. It doesn't show the locations but it is the best I have at my disposal. If you give me the places in question I will give you a list of the sites in that area.

    Hi - have you recently improved coverage in or near Kiltale, Co. Meath? The map seems to indicate that you have.

    Try this

    If you select "other" you will then be able to pick out O2 or Vodafone. I'm not sure how up to date that list is though.

    That is a bad spot for 3G TBH. The nearest sites are equidistant from you. Elpin, Boyle and Cloongownagh

    Thanks Daryll,
    Actually the reason I asked was because I am getting a 3g reception for the past few months which is working out really really well. I have download speed of 485 kbps (60.6 KB/sec transfer rate) and upload Speed: 559 kbps (69.9 KB/sec transfer rate) and the speed is often faster than this and I have no problem watchin streaming vids etc.. .Was just curious how close I was to the mast.I guess it works out well for me despite the distance from these masts! :):)
