    Did you try contacting lightnet? They recently upgraded their infrastructure and are offering faster speeds for the same price but it's an 18 month contract.

    Are you on the goEssential contract?

    I'm thinking of signing up with them so am just wondering are you getting anywhere close to the up 100down/20up speeds they are currently advertising?

    Hey guys myself and my partner are moving to ardrahan in a week and have booked for Imagine to test the house were moving to for their fixed wireless broadband but is there anyone here that is or knows if they are reliable in that area (we will be about 3km from the village on the rathbaun farm side). We will require about 10 down and 4 upload minimum

    Have used both companies. Imagine customer service is appalling. Lightnet I found to be excellent

    with Lightnet for a couple of months and while it is not blisteringly fast it is reliable and enough for simultaneous Netflix, radio streaming, browsing.. I'll be contacting them straight away if that deteriorates

    Could you pop up a speed test for me? are you far from a mast/transmitter and do you have clear line of sight, are you near ardrahan by any chance?
