I just Joined Vodafone paying €40 PM thats up to 8Mb broadband / free landline calls / 30 min vodafone mobile, I live 6km from my nearest exchange and get 1.7mb constantly which is good compaired to others...

If your in a majorish town I'd recommend Smart or if rural area Vodafone, thats fixed line of course.

I'd say aim for "Acceptable" rather than a "Deal". Letterkenny's broadband options are pretty slim.

KERSPLAT!

I was going with smart but they too over 6 weeks so I cancelled and decided to move my old acc up here, vodafone.

I was getting the full 8Mb Down and .5Mb up, 120Gb allowance, so hoping for same results here, will let ya know when it's installed, they had voice active in a week so BB should follow soon. Above package was €45 with some phone extras and free minutes, I don't use the phone so not really sure

1.7 MB download speed on a speedtest? If so that's pretty awful for an 8MB package. You should complain!

Really, like i said im on an amber line 6km from my nearest exchange, up to 8mb is now the lowest you can get with vodafone, i was only getting 0.8 with eircom up untill i switched. See this thread. I'm fairly chuffed with 1.7!

KERSPLAT!

I'm hoping for 8 but doubt it, 3-4MB would do grand really depends what ya use it for

Have you guys got mobile or DSL broadband ?

Ive got Vodafone mobile usb its a heap of rubbish it's slow and at e30 per month it's such a bad deal.

This is mine, €20 for 25gb allowance per month. As with any mobile broadband its not totally reliable but doesnt cause too many problems and speed is usually perfectly fine

I was with wiimax in Letterkenny for a while but i fell out with there customer support so went off to eircom..big mistake! it took me 4 months to get my broadband & line installed.. (& i didnt want or need a phoneline in the first place)..then they hit me with all sorts of installation charges..
I would stick with the mobile dongles.. but there no use for PS3 & so no good to me!

KERSPLAT!

Sorry to drag this up but finally I have internet :pac::pac:

Vodafone ISP
€45 p/m
300GB Allowance





Pretty good speeds and high allowance but VF can be terrible if there are problems, so I suppose once ya dont need customer service your fine

Same story here only it was about 4 years ago i signed up with eircom, a month later i still had no broadband so i canceled the contract with them. I cant understand why eircom hate there customers

I really hope the market continues to open up to new competitors and eircom gets squeezed out.

Me too.. i have yet to deal with worse customer support than those at eircom.. i had one who couldnt stop giggling at my scottish accent...literally couldnt stop .. & one who answered by asking me was it snowing "up there".. another one who im certain was drunk ..... & they were the good ones!

KERSPLAT!

After working in customer care I realised, the mood of the rep will determine the level of actual customer care you get, catch someone on a bad day n your not gonna get anywhere

Safe to say 3 is not the best Broadband deal in Letterkenny.This is actually one of my better results.

surely you could argue that broadband deal would mean the entire package inc customer care and after sales or trouble with install.

For example, When i was in Galway i had nothing but horrible horrible customer care with NTL and would NEVER recommend them to a friend, instead i'd often recommend (and eventually) got digiweb i think. NOt as quick but anytime anything went wrong i didn't have to stay on hold for an hour.

Its one of the reasons i recommend wimax!

3's IP/Traffic station might not be though, and that's where the site will be tracking the IP address to.

I had Vodafone mobile broadband, it was god awful and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

I'm now with Smart, paying €45pm but that's with a bit extra for extra download allowance. Got 5.22Mbps there on speedtest.net. It's not brilliant but it does the job.
