Imagine.ie LTE Broadband in Clare

SpannerMonkey

anyone using imagine broadband in clare ? i see they have expanded their services into the rural areas that have little or no other options . how do you find them or have you heard anything about them ?

im out in kilmaley and my broadband if you can call it that is god awful . download on a good day is 3mb but the upload is the real kicker . max ive ever seen is 0.10mb ususally 0.05mb:( it makes everything so slow so if imagine with their up to 70mb would even give me 10 mb that would be huge ? any advice would be welcomed

The best way of getting any decent broadband in rural Clare is a simcard router with possibly a three sim card if you have line of sight of a three LTE mast and a power line adapter to send it around the house.

I ran a few more speed tests using a number of different speed testers and am getting consistent results.
So far the promises made by Imagine have held up.

Sorry to burst anyone's bubble but that testmynet site is complete rubbish.

I have 70/20 efibre and I consistently get download speeds from actual servers with large files (1gb+) of 7.2mbps (that's not a burst speed, it's an average over the entire download). Yet testmynet tried to tell me I was only getting ~20mb downloads. Ignore it, speedtest is far more reliable in my experience.

SpannerMonkey

bit different alright . not sure i belive the testmy result to be honest because the speeds i get while actually downloiading games and files is perfectly in line with the speedtest result .either or not a bad result for kilmaley and a lot better than my previous 3mb down 0.10mb up

There you go I sorted the link for you

Thanks for the update guys, seems a vast improvement to what is on offer in this area, although would be more impressed if you could get those test results with testmy.net instead of speedtest.net.

Read an article where the author wrote that ooklas speedtest was run through port 8080, which gives an inflated result with some ISP's. If interested you an read it here, just put (www) in front as i cannot post links www.myce.com/review/internet-providers-caught-inflating-speed-test-results-78458/

Happy browsing/gaming/playing!

Got it installed and have it just over a week. Major improvement in speeds etc.Ran numerous speed tests at different times and it never dips below 30mbps. The average is around 60mbps/20ms ping. Just ran a test this evening @ 18:45 which was normally the slowest time on the previous supplier and got:

Just to put it under pressure I had YouTube 4k 60pfs video running on 4 devices, 2 of them wired and the other 2 on the wifi and had Netflix HD running on a TV all at the same time without any bother. I am using a serious router ( Netgear R7000) so that is a factor in handling that type load.
Happy days

Got it installed today . so far 50mb down 10mb up 19ms ping

I would also like to know how the install went and speeds you are getting Jimmac,

Hi SpannerMonkey I'm in the inch area and have literally pulled my hair out with Eir over the last several years. I have recently (6-7 weeks ago) got myself a unlocked modem and installed a Three sim card and it is going just ok, during the day I can get up to 4-6 mb download and over 10-12mb upload, yes you read that right, the upload is twice as fast as download on most days! Saying that the speeds seem to have dropped off in the last few weeks to 3-4mb down and 4-5mb up

Just now 10:00-10:30 in the evening getting 1.2mb download and 4.1 upload, just did the test on testmy.net, a second test just immediately after on Speedtest.net by Ookla tells me I am getting 4.36mb download and only 5.87mb upload, ookla is about as useful as a chocolate tea pot for real results.
If Imagine LTE does not work in your area, you may be interested in trying out same as what I have, or first try a company called "rural-wifi" they offer a 30 day money back guarantee to try out their lte service, it works on Three's network aswell, if you do a google search you will find them, I cannot post links as I have less than 25 posts.

I am with Ripplecom for the last number of years and while I cant fault them, Imagine have blown them out of the water with this offer.
Ripplecom: 8mbps Download ( which is normally 3mbps) 150Gb per month limit and €1 per Gb over that -€54.99 per month
Imagine: 70mbps Download and 20Gb per day which is 600Gb per month and VOIP phone for €59.99 per month.

Let me know how you get on . Id be interested to see what kind of speeds you get. Apparently if they cant get over 30mbps they wont install it

The Ben Dash mast is live so you should get a good signal from there.

The girlfriend's family have it and are happy. They won't install if they can't get at least 30mb. Ring them and see.
