    3G outside (or hanging out the attic roof window) :) GPRS inside :(

    That's not a comparison that's a speed test on 2G (indoors) then 3G (outdoors)

    Then I'd take a guess that one of the limiting factors is you don't have LOS to the mast or are along way away.

    Whats your signal strenght like?

    I get results like yours with zero to one bar.

    OK then I'll go with contention, as I can get as good as that from a mast over 10miles away, in fact much better if I setup the dongle with LOS.

    Same situation here, tried 02, Vodafone and Batsignal with no luck.
    Three worked so i went went with them, credit where credit is due, they've given me little to complain about in recent times.

    I know, but I don't get 3G indoors, I'm stuck on what GPRS (soon to be EDGE) can provide me. So while it works fine for me elsewhere, it's horrendously bad at home.

    Pretty abysmal last couple of days or about 2 weeks, So I went onto the roof to see what the jazz was... I noticed it wasnt in the position that was giving it the best results... So must have gotten moved slightly in the windiest month in a while

    but it seems to be back a bit better since

    1324945467.png

    was only getting about 1MB recently but that's rather acceptable considering its fluxuations, I'll test it again now this evening when it will be maxed out... If it was like the speed above more I'd be more than happy

    just a quick slightly tipsy edit of the day...

    dont some tests this afternoon and got over 3mb download pretty much, ping varied a bit from 65-90 or so on diff irish servers... done a test in the height of congestion and got about 2mb... done a test there at 2am and got almost 4mb download...

    this is all since i moved the router back into a favourabe position!

    positioning really does count... I know location is a big factor, but even at that, pointing the router, usb device the right way makes a pretty big diff

    Mine. Another dismal performance from 3. This time in another part of the country, Cavan. Doesn't really make a difference where you are. It's always sh!te.

    Not too bad considering I live out in the country, outside Dundalk.

    NBS area in Cavan. During the day from morning till about 5 ish i'd constantly have speeds of about 2.5 down and after that it's more or less the above.

    What's worse, a **** signal, or an acceptable one with 'DNS\MTU\Leaves on the tracks' website issues.

    (yes.. the above is just fine for my needs, but it is stable access I crave..)

    No YouTube, Amazon or stable IMAP/POP3 access. The boards.ie domain is like a pissed ballerina, hobbles into view for a few hours, then vanishes.
