Any speed tests for city centre or surrounding areas may i ask?

onzlo

Whats the best one for Tullow, Co. Carlow? Thinking of getting a prepay mobile as I move around a bit, I'm kinda leaning towards meteor.


EDIT: I live < 300 metres from the nearest mast.

Another crappy result

siblers

I've only like 7 gig left of my 30gb allowance to do me for another 2 weeks or so. 30gb isn't nearly enough


Edit

I want unlimited downloads damn it!

jay93

:mad::mad::(hmmmmm tis not good today stuck on 3G ONLY since afternoon today no HSPA at all so speeds are rubbish my DSL from UTV was also down today for over 45mins !!!!
anyone else having crap speeds from 3??
seriously its half 3 in the morning and its still only getting 3G signal
guess that rules out contention so!
its also doing this on my phone have 4/5 BARS signal but it only wil work over 3G..... the (H) That usually shows up on the phone isnt working at all not good mast seems to be screwing up more than before
or could they be upgrading it :rolleyes:;)

jay93

its working again yay finally!!after 2 days of been stuck on 3G only signal have my HSPA back so its flying along



my DSL has crappy pings since yesterday they usually around 50ms or 60ms now 109ms

but pingtest shows that its ok bit weird ?

siblers

Anytime I go onto pingtest after speedtest, the ping is always lower. Usually between 30ms and 50 ms. Just gonan do one now and see if it's still the case;





Not entirley sure which is more accurate though regarding the ping, I'm hoping it's the latter

jay93

got onto 3 about the internet been crap around here and they seem to have fixed it:D

siblers

Got another couple of weeks of Eircom till they disconnect it.


Anytime I've done speed tests with Three, only once or twice has it dropped below 2meg, it's never dropped below 1meg. Was even able to use it inside in Killarney town today for work, fierce handy

jay93

very happy with this

the_real_dave

My fastest ever result



An average result





I'm incredibly happy with my service, as my small rant should prove.

the_real_dave

Using the computer where I babysit, a bit outside of Bweeng in Cork. After moving around the dongle a bit, I manged to get 3-4 bars of HSDPA coverage, and flashes of 3G, at least that's what the program tells me. Speed isn't fantastic, but for an area with generally bad phone coverage, it's not too bad.





Moved it around some more;

siblers

Never been this bad since I had it

jay93

decent enough pings
its lashing out so download speed isnt as fast as it usually is still i dont mind

warlikedave

prefer good pings if i can get them but jeesz i cant complain about this as long as it doent keep being unstable latency/ping wise

how the chesire cat :P is that possible??? have they started testing the 21mb HSPA+ speed upgrades yet??? :eek::eek:

mayo.mick

vodafone have upgraded my local mast to 3.5g ( its showing this on my nokia x6) the speeds seem to have improved a little, they should be better. Would the new modem k4505 improve my speeds? and if so, where would i be able to buy one sim free? Looked on expansys but they don't have them:(.

Here's my speeds today,



and my ping,

and my ping,

thats woeful if your mast is 21mb capable - you shoould be using a bog standard HSPA 7.2mb download/2mb-5.6mb upload modem at the moment which means you should be getting beter service that that...with the modem you have - what is your modem may i ask?
