[...] think Ireland, despite the shit broadband and the lies about it being good, can overcome that and be a core part of all things digital. [...]

Wow amazing ! The NBS scheme was announced yesterday – effectively 3G Broadband – and it will not have coverage in areas where there is no DSL in county Clare. Even populated villages like Quin or Newmarket On Fergus have no DSL and will have no Wireless broadband. WAKE UP MINISTER

A quick question lads, I had a three phone for about 5 months, had to move away from it in October due to the terrible service. Has anyone else had a bad experience with their network?

My experience included the following: crossed calls, number not exist tone when people called (not ideal for any business), the ability to call my number and be transfer through to someone else as my phone still rang in my hand, a three way conservation due to crossed calls, random calls which allowed me to listen into other people’s conversations, and the all annoying call center. This is some of my true experience.

After about a month of not being fixed and being told it would be fixed I had to move back to O2.

@Daragh God help them and anyone that sails on them but Three will have to provide wholesale access to their dialup service.

Ding dong dongle… According to 3’s coverage map I have full dongly broadband in my area. ehh… no. I don’t. Vodafone give me a reasonable service, but it very often drops to 2.5G depending on the weather (?) or where i am in the house.

It is also a personal solution… my wife can’t use broadband while I am on line (unless I buy additional equipment or a second dongle). A second dongle would bring my spend with vodiephone to €60 per month for an erratic service that barely breaks the 1MB down and is useless for effective skype calling because of the erratic nature of the connection speed.

I’ve placed my order with Perlico for broadband over wires now that my local exchange is upgraded… upgrading exchanges leads to open competition among providers who can all deliver broadband through an exchange. Will 3 allow Vodie or eircom to deliver broadband over their NBS network?
