First make sure these are wired tests then give more info on the hardware you are performing these tests on.

Yes make sure the laptop has a gigabit ethernet port and connect a cable that's at least cat5e.
This will let us know if the problem is just with wifi(the most common problem)

about 5 months ago I moved from Eir bill Pay to Three Pay as you go to save money. However the move to Three itself was a huge mistake. Had really bad speeds and barely any phone signal. I was going to move back to Eir pay as you go but then along came their new GoMo 10 euros per month mobile plan, so I signed up.

My final speedtest this morning on Three Pay As You Go.
https://www.speedtest.net/result/a/5435823507

Inserted the GoMo sim card and this is what I get.
https://www.speedtest.net/result/a/5435855552

I'm much happier, apart from the fact that it's half the price.

There is limited data with Gomo (80GBs?), from what I read, but the phone deal is v. good and coverage much better than 3 or vodafone in this area.

it's 80 gigs per month. Three's all you can eat data is 60 gigs per month. Three works great in urban areas but once you see the green fields their service is awful.

Yeah, I got lots of green around me

I was not aware of a 60GB limit on 3's AYCE.

Did you not see the adverts on TV where they explain unlimited with them means unlimited unlike other providers.

But then have the 60 FUP in the contract.

ED E · 31-10-2019 01:09AM

Three dont enforce the 60GB. Gomo will bill you after 80.

No

I do not pay any attention to adverts .... I seem to have an auto switch of during their airing, unless some very unusual ad is shown. Presently I cannot even think of one recent one.

I'll be lucky to get through even 20GB of that 80gb limit as I use the wifi at home most of the time and in friends houses. Only time I really need GoMo's data is on the bus or in places without wifi. I rarely ever make texts or calls, mostly use What's App or messenger, thats why paying only 10 euros a month is a really good deal.

They say they just slow you down, once you go over 80;

"The fair usage threshold in relation to data usage for the SIM Only Service is 80GB. Should your data usage exceed 80GB in a billing cycle and we consider that other users are likely to be adversely affected; we reserve the right to limit the data service. We continuously monitor network performance to ensure that the SIM Only Service received by you is not impacted through a minority of users placing high demand on network resources (e.g. large bandwidths over long periods)."

Wish every day would be Saturday morning. For multiple reasons

Steve F · 26-01-2020 09:42PM

Anyone else's Vodafone Wireless Broadband download speed gone to hell over the last few weeks during the evenings?
Speed test at 9:30pm tonight 0.80 D/L
Was out last night and when I came in at 12:30 am thought I'd do a speed test and it was 40 mb/s!!!!
Surely something can be done...0.80mb/s D/L is unusable
Obviously it's going to drop in the evenings with demand but from 40 to 0.80?..a joke
Anyone suggest what I can do?
Changing supplier not an option as Vodafone is the only one we can get signal from
4G mast 2 km away

Cabaal · 27-01-2020 02:57PM

Speed test every day since Dec 28th on Vodafone 100mb package using Samknows white box

Last 6 months of tests, up until 18th November I was on Sky upto 100mb

Steve F · 27-01-2020 04:11PM

Jump in speed mid November?

That's mobile data for you many masts have far too many connected.

Are you too rural to get reasonable VDSL speeds?

Steve F · 28-01-2020 10:02AM

Not very techie so I dunno about VDSL Ha ha
Here's my Eircode A91 A008 I don't mind you seeing where my house is if you want
Annoyingly fibre runs past my house but they only connected the first few house off the main R178
The GAA ground adjacent to our house is supposed to be getting a Broadband Connection Point (BCP) by the end of this year??

To be fair to sky I use to get 90MB on avg for a few years, but I then experienced drops for about 6 weeks so they dropped the profile down.

They refused to up the profile again at a later date to see if the issue was fixed as I had also got a replacement router from them as part of the troubleshooting.

I only moved to Vodafone to cut costs,

VDSL is just broadband over copper phone lines. It's fast if you are within 800 metres of a cabinet or exchange but I see you are way out.

I can also see that you are in no mans land between 2 fibre to the home deployments. Very unlucky

I doubt Eir will extend that for a few years.
They are now totally focused on urban deployment of fibre.

The national broadband plan may be your only hope, if they ever complete it.

Steve F · 28-01-2020 01:59PM

Yes Tuxy extremely unlucky....the fibre connections stop less than 2 km from my address tho the fibre does run past my home I watched them putting it in
How is the BCP'S supposed to work as the GAA club across from me is supposed to be getting a connection point in before year end(?)

There's a house with FTTH south of where you are, looks closer than 2KM

You can check here https://fibrerollout.ie/rollout-map/

As I understand it each fibre run supports 32 homes. They started each line from the exchange and ran them out rural roads. The closest 32 outside each town got connected.
They were only after low hanging fruit and were also trying to make the National Broadband Plan contract as unattractive as possible.
They didn't care about the gaps in the middle, it was possibly part of their plan. Those gaps are expensive for another company to reach especially when not connecting to the cluster of houses near the town.

Is it Open Eir that are providing fibre to the GGA club? You would think they would have done that while working in the area.

Looks like I'm stuck with ****é evening speeds for years to come

NBI are supposed to be providing the GAA club with the BCP....do we just wander over there and plug in whenever we want to? Ha ha

DeconSheridan · 03-02-2020 08:55PM

Three Mobile Broadband very poor connectivity and service.
If you don't want to be tearing your hair out every evening from lack of service, stay away from Three Mobile as its more often 27k than 27Mb. Also the CS is complete shambles also.
