Three Ireland 5G

Well it's an outdoor router so the cable is an ethernet cable (which also provides power) though one end of the long thin cable has a fitting to cover the area where it's plugged into the router to make it waterproof.

Here's a video. She uses a regular cable but the long one is just longer and flat/thin so it will go through a window and you can close the window. It comes with the router so you get a look at it in the video.

Seems to be quite an expensive router if you were to buy it yourself.

This is the cover to make it waterproof. this is pre-attached to the long cable. with the cable going through the hole and the connector on the other side. It looks to me like you would have to remove the connector if you wanted to put your own cable through this hole. But as the video shows the cable comes with the router.

Well got it installed today.

Below is the speedtest.

Frankly, I'm amazed. We're about 3.5 miles from nearest tower without line of sight.

Hopefully it will continue to be this good ( this was in middle of the day today)

How come the 3 prepay hero plan is only €15 and has better benefits including 5g than the €20 plan?

Says it's sim only. What's the difference?

It’s on this link.

I just Googled 3pay hero and it’s in the 2nd result.

I can see the offer when I’m on mobile but not when I’m on desktop oddly enough. I have a spare 3 sim that I use for Done Deal / online business and called customer care. They said it was new customers only and not existing customers. They wouldn’t change it for me. Not a big deal as it’s not a number I use much anyway and have been getting a lot of spam on the number lately. Will just pick up a new number instead.

Nothing. It's a 24 month contract @ 39 per month. Currently first three months free.

Also the guy said they would not go ahead with install unless they get a minimum speed of 100mb.

I signed up for this plan today, 5G working fine. Still waiting on wificalling and 4G calling to activate.

Adrian Weckler of the Irish Independent has reported that Three Ireland are getting rid of their fair use policies and charges for some of their unlimited broadband plans from this week.

It will come into effect on 5 of their 5G plans and 4 of their 4G plans. Three Ireland have also said that are also not going to charge their customers for excess limit/excess use on those same plans in the near future.

What does that mean in practical terms.

Less capacity, are they using this band for 5g?

If you live around Newtownpark Avenue in Blackrock in Dublin. Three's 5G Gold broadband subscription is now available as a tech installation.

I had a look at the website to check for availability and the 5G Gold sub installation is there for my address. However no self install is available for my own address.

Does anyone know is not there in my area?

I signed up for the 5g hero plan wit 3. Dont have a 5g phone but i get 4g+ around town(waterford) but speeds for 4g+ maxes out at about 40mbs, guy in shop 3 store says yeah thats about right.

Surely that cant be? 40mbs???!!!

How long did it take to get the SIM?

I ordered it last week still no sign.

Maybe I should try that. I'm tempted to cancel.
