I find it terrible, anytime I want to use it out of nowhere a bald man with a guitar plays a really annoyingly catchy song :mad:

there is no mobile wimax in conamara but there is fixed wimax , contact Lighthouse ( www.lightnet.ie )

I'm already with Lighthouse - who I find pretty good by the by - the question is on behalf of my girlfriend who lives in the city.

City wimax is 'mobile' wimax...not the same thing.

OK, let's start again shall we.

The annoying WiMax ad that's on TV.

Does anyone have that service in Galway city, or elsewhere, and how good or bad is it please?

if she lives near the mast then should be ok unless there is a lot of trees in between or other buildings especially older buildings that tend to block signals more than modern buildings.

I have wimax in dublin I'm so close to the mast I can see it , the speed is awful I signed up for 7 meg the speed fluctuates between .7 and 3meg . When I call to customer services they are aggresive , unhelpful promise to call back but never do after 3 weeks I emailed to cancel I'm now entering my second month they still haven cancelled , they want to extort £50 connection fee £100 disconnection fee and £84 usage fee for a service they havent provided . In short Wimax is slower more expensive and a dreadful company to deal with at present they are threatening me with debt collectors if I dont pay , if your considering availing of this service DONT.:mad:

WiMax is not a company, it's a technology. Imagine are probably the company you're talking about.

imagine is the appropriate name for the company read the thread

Hi all,

Anyone out there have problems with broadband from Imagine WiMax? Download speeds as low as 0.03Mb in Sandyford. Woeful customer service. No replies to e mails, no promised call backs. They have sent a bill which I really do not want to pay and I want to cancel the service. There is also a €100 cancellation fee. I have been trying to get answers from them from the day after I installed the wireless hub. Anyone got any advise as regards cancelling and getting out of having to pay the bills for their "service".

Thanks genius thats really helpful but I think "imagine" is their customer service and "imagine" is their promise of cheaper faster better

I was in a mates last week that has wimax in drogheda, i brought over my ps3 and we went online to play call of duty, the lag was unbearable. My advice to you if gaming is your thing steer clear of wimax and other wireless providers.
