That's probably why. Go to argos and put "Simple Value Corded Telephone - Single" in the search and it'll be the €6:49 one

Working fine on phone.

Is Imagine LTE good enough to handle IPTV? I am currently getting between 10 and 20MB download speeds but IPTV is freezing every 10 sec. I spoke to IPTV provider and they have said all is ok on their side. Is there a setting/settings I need to change on the router. I have tried wireless and lan connection to my IPTV box but still get freezing every 10 sec.

It wouldn't be my main tv source, just used possibly 10hrs per week

ok thanks for that. I must PM u.

Do Imagine have a usage monitor to keep an eye on things daily ?

No

That's a pain in the ass.

So no real way to monitor / verify your usage unless you can get access to the router admin screens, and even then it may not be logged there...

No
They send an email when you hit 15GB

going to have to do the same. Have hit the 20gb limit a few times lately. Wet summer and kids are spoilt with on demand programs, making them them watch "normal" kids channel on satellite is now seen by them as a punishment. Kids these days! Back in my day of 2 channels grumble grumble...

It would be great if there was a way on netflix to reduce the quality of the kids profile streaming only..

20gb limit is getting seriously annoying.

According to this you can control it per profile.
So have one profile for your kids and one for you and that should make it easier

Cheers! had to untick the "child" tick box under manage profiles first to enable account settings for their profile. Changed settings then re-ticked "child" box.

Be interesting to see if it makes much of a difference....

Yeah, I can confirm the white gemtek router doesn't have usage stats either. I have everyone go through an N66U router to see how much has been used.

Good to know. Does that router allow you to port forward as I want to be able to get at my Security Camers, FTP server etc from the outside ?

Is anyone using this service in longford, can you provide your thoughts or a screenshot of average speeds, latency, etc?

Looking to have it installed for my parents as it's the only option available.

Speed issues with Imagine LTe

Hi Folks,

My initial install was great, was getting speeds of 40 meg but now over time these speeds have dropped to below 10 meg. I do my speed tests with just laptop connected to router LAN port. I spoke to imagine support and they said I was getting a very strong signal, they asked me to send links of the speed tests. Sent the links daily at different times but I have not heard back from them yet.

Has anyone else seen this deterioration in speeds?
As more people use the service(outside of my house) do speeds get affected or should I still be getting the 40 meg?
I can understand my speeds being affected if there were a number of people in my house watching youtube or netflix on different devices, but this is never the case.

The numbers are up to about 130 customers (so thats up to 650 people) per sector which supports 100Mb or 200Mb.


In areas where they're popular (AKA where competition is low) peak speeds will never be as advertised. Test at 4AM to confirm that.

Thank you amadablam.

I thought the whole idea of having just 400 subscriptions(i think it was) was to stop such contention issues.

I have emailed the LTe support team now on many occasions with links of speed tests taken and no response from them. Spoke to one of the tech support people at 7:20pm one evening this week and I could tell he had no interest, all he seemed to be worried about was getting out by 8pm.

If I even had a constant 15 meg at this stage i'd be happy.

Doesn't sound good

What area are you in ?

Also - know anybody else on the same mast locally and if they are seeing the same ?
