    I have Vodafone. Just wondering if the HG659 is the best model they have to offer. Thanks in advance.

    Switched from Eir in December,have BB,home phone and TV.

    It took almost a month to get TV up and running, they offered a 5 euro per month reduction.

    Wireless on the HG 659 is not as good as the old Eir modem.

    Unimpressed.

    I switched to voda before christmas .

    Tried several times to request a gigabox rather than the hg659 and each time was told i could not get it.

    Ordered anyway & when the package arrived it was the gigabox.

    Had to contact tech support at one stage & when i told the rep it was the gigabox I had rather than the hg which was listed on my acc he told me everyone was being sent the gigabox nowadays.

    You may get a gigabox if you sign up but I can't say definately

    I got 659 2 weeks ago to replace a 658 and there's a massive wireless difference. I don't have any issues with rock solid performance and 5Ghz wireless on 659. On 658c 2.4Ghz was poor with bad speeds.

    Thanks for the replies. I had the 659 and i couldn't get wifi anywhere in the house besides the room it was in. They said they would send out a gigabox after arguing with them. I only said i would renew my contract if i got one. So i signed and the 659 arrived again at my door. This one seems to work better at least. They are so hard to deal with.
