Broadband Without a Fixed Line

Mobile broadband uses the 4G and 5G mobile network instead of a physical cable or antenna to your property. You get a dedicated router that connects to the nearest mobile mast. It’s faster to set up but speeds can vary more depending on your signal strength and network congestion.

No. Mobile broadband is plug-and-play. We send you a pre-configured router — plug it in, power it on, and you’re online. No engineer visit, no drilling, no waiting.

Yes, for many households mobile broadband works well as a primary connection — especially for lighter usage like browsing, email and standard-definition streaming. For heavy usage with multiple devices, fixed broadband (fibre or wireless) typically gives more consistent speeds.

Speeds depend on your distance from the nearest mast, the number of users on the network, and whether 4G or 5G is available at your location. Use the coverage checker to see estimated speeds at your Eircode.

Check the specific plan details — some mobile broadband plans include unlimited data, others have a generous allowance. Data limits are clearly shown on each plan card.

Yes — mobile broadband works anywhere with 4G or 5G coverage. If you move house, just bring the router. No reinstallation needed. It also works well for holiday homes or temporary locations.

Absolutely. Many business customers use mobile broadband as a failover connection. If your fixed line goes down, the mobile router keeps you connected. We also offer managed failover solutions for business — see our failover page for details.

Signal strength varies by location. Our coverage checker gives you an estimate before you commit. If mobile broadband isn’t viable at your address, we’ll recommend fixed wireless or fibre alternatives instead.
