    Could someone post some pictures or make a Video how streaming with 5mbits should be passable?

    I'm still very confused. You're in Germany and have no intention of leaving Vodafone. So why do you want to gather this info and for what purpose?

    Netflix has been known to run on 2/3mb just dont expect to stream UHD or 4K content on 5mb. Netflix will generally adjust the quality to your speed anyway.

    Eir sim only plans have a 120GB fair usage
    13. The fair usage threshold in relation to data usage for the Plans is 120GB. Should your data usage exceed 120GB in a billing cycle and eir Mobile considers that other users are likely to be adversely affected; we reserve the right to limit the data Service. eir Mobile continuously monitors network performance to ensure that the service received by the Customer is not impacted through a minority of users placing high demand on network resources (e.g. large bandwidths over long periods).

    Hotspot functionality hasn’t worked on iPhones for the last few days.

    I was on their chat and they said that they were working on a fix with Apple but couldn’t say when it would be back but they will let me know.

    They did say they were here for me and to trust them!

    I am looking to move clear mobile, can you use personal hotspot on iPhone and how 5mb cap work with you ?

    has it solved now with you ?

    thanks

    Jesus, I got excited when I read that.
    Vodafone signal is a bit better at my house than others.
    But 5Mbps is a deal breaker. Thats really bad.
    I just did a speed test on gomo from my house on 2 bars. 15mbps.
    I think i'll stay with gomo.

    Could you try it out for a while before porting your phone number.

    Is the 5mb speed consistent most of the time?

    Do speeds go down at peaks times?

    How many signal bars do you need to keep it at 5mb?

    If it stayed consistent at 5mb then should be good enough for most things online.

    It's consistent so far, always steady at 5Mbit down and 5Mbit up.

    Using speedtest, it starts at 15Mbit then throttles back to 5-6 Mbit

    No issues with light browsing and youtube (HD)

    Considering getting this plan for a relative due to coverage and them being a mainly non-data user. I'm just wondering about signing up and the options to request new number vs port existing number.

    I know with GoMo you could get a new number and port over later which was great if there were delays getting sim etc. Does Clear Mobile work the same way or is it required to agree porting time when signing up if I want to keep existing number?

    Cheers

    When I ported my number over I was able to select the date and time for the switch to happen. I got the sim card a couple of days before the switch so had no problems.

    What do you do if you try out the sim card and its rubbish.
    How do you cancel and tell them not to port your number.

    You will have to get another sim card from your new provider and get it ported that.

    In my lifetime I have never seen Vodafone offer a good deal for anything.

    Why would you announce to compete with something that offers better features at a better price?

    How would this compare with An Post mobile?, I just received a SIM card from an post and before I activate it , I thought I’d ask. Currently have 3 mobile and it is dreadful inside my house , no signal at all. The only service that seems to work in the house is Vodafone.

    Similar for both calls and texts. Data: Post Mobile has 50GB data limit with no speed cap while Clear Mobile has no data limit but a 5Mb speed cap. Both piggy back on the Vodafone network so coverage should be the same. Post Mobile costs €2/month more.

    If you have WiFi and hence don't need limitless go for PM. If you need limitless internet, go for clear.
