    Hello everyone,
    I live in Rahan which is about 10km outside Tullamore,currently I get download speeds of 15mb with the typical **** upload of 0.6, my area is supposed to be getting fibre enabled January to March, I live 587 meters from the cabinet as the crow flies. I am a gamer and due to **** upload speeds I often have to use my phone as a hotspot to stream, (I have unlimited 4g with 3) I am wondering what kind of speeds I should be getting if Fibre is enabled, I'm fairly certain we're gonna get it soon as there is a bunch of new telegram wires put up in the last few months in my area.
    My main question is if I don't get Fibre soon would it be possible to get a 4g antenna ? To get 3bars 4g I gotta leave my phone on the windowsill in my room which is upstairs, I was wondering is there any kind of antenna I could put on my roof where I would easilyget fullbars 4g that could carry signal down into my room?
    Thanks and please reply

    The 19th Century called and want their technology back!!! ;)

    As for 4G solutions, you can see some in this thread in the midband forum. There are others there too, so have a search through it.
