    Hi all just my view on the above provider.

    1 At least I have broadband.
    2 Customer service is great both here on boards and by phone
    3 Speed is great in the mornigs up to 5 or 600 kps download sometimes even more.
    4 If you need to use it in the evenings stick with dial up as the speed at best 60kps download but on average way less then that

    5 15 gig download limit is great and cheap at 19.99 a month.

    My opinion great service, great coverage but two many users they need to up the speed. If you have any other options look into them first, But if 3 are the only provider in your area like me you are out of luck

    Thread moved and Title renamed. The company is called 3, not 3G.

    3G is also not broadband at all, as you've seen. The limitations of the technology do not let it compare to real broadband.

    It's not Broadband, an alternative for those who can't get Broadband.

    Debatable, I've had good and hair ripping conversations with their call centers.
    3 Speed is great in the mornigs up to 5 or 600 kps download sometimes even more.
    That will depend on your location, my morning and afternoon speeds are good as well.
    4 If you need to use it in the evenings stick with dial up as the speed at best 60kps download but on average way less then that
    That's getting worse for me, I have a feeling it's a very common situation on Three's network.
    5 15 gig download limit is great and cheap at 19.99 a month.
    60GB for €30 is the better deal in my view, even if it's not all used up it allows for much more use.

    Upping the speed won't help, Three need to work on contention issues first and then move on to speeds if they see fit. Three are the only provider in my area so it's a case of this or nothing but it can be made to work.

    For its faults and annoyances it's good as long as you understand what your getting ;)

    0.18 Mb/s is 180 Kb/s. I presume you know that & were joking?

    This is what I'm getting atm.
