    Anybody here using lightnet?
    A relative only has a 1mb line with eir. Imagine LTE isnt available.
    Signs locally saying 70mb available. Now i know you won't get speeds like that in all probability but can anyone out there tell me if the service is any good. Looking at taking the VOIP phone option too.

    Have 5MB OTA here in north Clare. I wasn’t in a good location for their speed bumps recently so still on 5 but it’s reliable and generally good. Very little to complain about with them.

    They ended up getting it in anyway, 37mb down and 9 up, dipping down to 25 at peak times. Happy days.

    Thanks for the feedback.
