Comments on: IrelandOffline rebukes claims of being ill-informed http://irelandoffline.org/2009/04/irelandoffline-rebukes-claims-of-being-ill-informed/ The website of Irish broadband lobby group, IrelandOffline Sat, 23 Jul 2011 22:22:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: James Howard http://irelandoffline.org/2009/04/irelandoffline-rebukes-claims-of-being-ill-informed/comment-page-1/#comment-168 James Howard Wed, 26 Aug 2009 14:12:22 +0000 http://irelandoffline.org/?p=334#comment-168 Very similar experience to Rachel above. Have been using 3 mobile BB on the train for a couple of years with reasonable results but it never worked at home. Ads went up locally saying that NBS was now available. Unfortunately the signal is highly localised. Drops from full signal on mobile to zero over a distance of 200 metres. So same here is that NBS is never going to be available. The 3 NBS deal is and always will be a total copout. Very similar experience to Rachel above.

The Engineer from 3 went on to say that we will never get a signal unless a mast is erected in our area and sdvised satelite which we know is non existent. The dam cheek of 3 to have our townlad area NBS live and not even a 3 second signal could be obtained. I have complained yesterday to comreg and Minister Ryan's office, what are the chances I get a reply..And more frustrating is that is is impossible to get a complaints department for 3. Thank you for the oppertunity to rant, We purchased a contract with 3 last week and the engineer arrived today to carry out the installation. townland area of Thurles, Tipp. After testing he could not find a signal in our area despite the 3 website stating that the wireless broadband (NBS) is now active in our area.

Any customer that comes to me and asks is the relatively cheap cost compared to other fixed products worth it, I simply tell them no. Considering this is the commercial product they push in an area considered "covered" by 3g I'd stick to the dial up. The current 3 mobile internet service is pathetic.

Mine takes over an hour to connect sometimes and where's the point in ringing a Mumbai call center to complain? You needn’t bother asking for free modems, they’re no good.
