day 2 of using the o2 modem, no dropouts between Connolly and Drogheda. In fact if i was to believe the mac app supplied, i got 1.6mbs at one stage. At drogheda it drop to wcdma for longer. There has been no dropout between Drogheda and dunleer, leaving the usual one between Dunleer and Dundalk.

now i don't know if this is correct but i may have dropped to using the o2 EDGE network but i got good data rates and my VPN client remained connected for a good section of the journey. Based on this... it is beginning to look like O2 has the best coverage on the Northern Line to Dundalk

and at the price I'm paying no complaints so far!
