Netflix streams fine though.

Bad broadband or bad android box and sub?
Could one, two or all three..

Ive the fire-stick and sub and its virtually perfect. The EPL had the servers blocked yesterday for games just as they kicked off but it was back up and running again in minutes. Perfect today.

The boxes are sh*te though and dont last unless you buy a top range one. If you can, get your mates firestick and try it on your BB and see how it works.

Gave up on the boxes. Any time a big match was on it was blocked or buffered like hell!

Dodgy box as in Android box? They’re fairly sh*te anyway unless you cough a decent wedge for a good one.

There are boosters you can get but not sure how good they are. Google the modem make and model and see whats being said. You will be able to log into the modem and can change frequency but check the router out online first.

Is Vodafone not being able to supply your new address with Broadband mean that you cannot get fixed lin BB at all?

In Dublin 6W. Anyone have any input on broadband in this area?

https://switcher.ie/broadband/packages/#/bundle_type=broadband_only ;

Just click the Broadband only tab. Vodafone is still the cheapest overall. Dont be fooled by cheap introductory offers. The total cost per year is provided also below the monthly cost in smaller print. I've had no issues at all with speeds or otherwise with Vodafone.

If it's broadband only Bob you want check out Vodafones simply broadband which will be through the phone line or imagine WiMAX which is €19pm after a €150 initial installation/equip charge.

I see Eircom are doing FTTH broadband trials in Belcarra Mayo and are getting speeds over 900mb.
Would a certain Mr. Kenny live in that area?

Probably has been asked to death but looking to change broadband provider.
Currently have Sky TV, broadband and talk which is coming in too expensive. Broadband and Talk alone is €40pm (€30 for talk and the other €10 for broadband.
I imagine the reason Sky talk is so expensive is you have to pay for the line rental?

Anyway, looking for a decent broadband (would be using it for streaming). Could live without a house phone.

Any recommendations?

You can but it's an extra €7.88 pm if you don't have a tv or phone package as well. Think their basic broadband is €25 pm for 20mb so it would be €32.88 pm. It's great broadband in fairness.
