GoMo FAQs

I last used eir bill-pay in Northern Ireland and was roaming from Newry to Omagh, people will know a lot of that journey is rural, I'd family emergency so spent most of the time on calls, EE was perfect, was also using data for Google maps to find our way around hospital carparks, buildings etc, to hotel accommodation/carparks/access etc. Not sure but think I roamed on o2uk in underground car park & 3uk in lift, though I was busy at the time so didn't pass much heed, once I saw signal&data.

Seems ok. Just try gomo.ie

Any official mention of them activating 5G for GoMo or is it just a fluke?

GoMo are apparently increasing/changing prices on 1 April.

Looking at the faqs. Existing customers will not be effected.

GoMo are apparently increasing/changing prices on 1 April.

It's theoretically possible that they might introduce 2 plans, one with a lower price with capped data and one with a higher price with 5G with unlimited data.

RTE's article says prices are increasing but the press release says...

GoMo’s updated price point from April 2021, for new customers only, will be announced in the coming weeks.

https://gomo.ie/last-updates/

The "new customers only" suggests it could be a lower price...maybe that's clutching but why mention it if it's a higher price...existing customers aren't going to opt for a higher price anyway.



If it is an increase then it's an odd move given Clear Mobile is 12.99 and 48 is 10.99 and Eir market share (which includes Gomo) dropped in Q4 2020 (only by 0.2% but it's still a drop).....unless they're offering benefits that really are worth extra.

It looks as it will be an increase to me.

I don’t think they’ll be a €9.99 package again, if there was, those on the €12.99 would jump on to that. Also, I do t think 5G is all it’s cracked up to be either, maybe they are just throttling the 5G speeds currently but for the last month they are maxing out at 103mb for me, while switching back to 4G in same locations have given me speeds of 250mb, here’s two examples from a couple of weeks ago, same mast and one is 5G and other is 4G.

Anywhere I have been able to get 5G it never goes over 100Mbps. I am usually on the LUAS and stopped at a stop (Blackhorse always shows 5G) so I use www.fast.com.

The quote in the article says No plan for a price increase at this time".

Plans change I guess.

At least it is new customers that will be charged more while existing get to keep the lower rates.

Beats the hell out of the more traditional lure them in with cheap offer then screw your loyal customers as much as you can model so beloved of most telecoms providers.


It is pretty obvious this is a "get it quickly before it runs out" strategy to try and generate more sign-ups, it certainly worked well for them with the initial offering.

Any increases in prices are for new customers only, in essence the initial two set price offers "for life" ending for new customers, the €9.99 ended months ago. So new customers will have a different price plan.

Only short of go mo ceasing operations (highly unlikely) can they touch for life plans. I'm on the €9.99 offer and hell will freeze over before they change my contractual agreement.

That’s a monopole alright, the object in the picture is a GPS receiver.

The top contains the panels in an Alpha Wireless canister

The pole itself is made by Delmec I think. That mast very likely has optical backhaul so assuming it’s not a congested and have implemented things like carrier aggregation, 256QAM and 4T4R you should certainly be able to get in excess of 100mb. I’m not sure if a 5G radio will in those canisters though.

Thanks very much for that. I actually suspected the mast might have been in the top part as it's thicker than the bottom 2/3 of the pole. Great Gomo reception so

Here you can clearly see the thicker top part.
