Every Drumcondra home is its own diagnostic puzzle. We measure first, then recommend — never the other way round.
What we tend to see at Drumcondra addresses.
The housing tells you most of the story. A mix of 1920s-30s waterfront cottages, 1960s brick veneers, and a growing band of newer infill apartment buildings looking back at Corio Bay. That single fact — the era, the materials, the block size — is what determines whether one router will cover your house out of the box, or whether you’ll be hunting for dead spots in the back bedroom.
What we’ve seen in Drumcondra.
Drumcondra is one of the pockets where the old Geelong cable network still runs, and that network is at the end of its life. On one visit the radio side of the cable modem looked fine on paper, and the service was still dropping its downstream lock and failing to hand out addresses. The gear was a decade old and the firmware years older. The part worth repeating: nbn full fibre was available at that address and had simply never been ordered, because the household had been a cable customer for so long nobody had thought to re-check.
How a $199 visit actually runs.
Most Drumcondra appointments are available inside a week. The visit takes about 90 minutes — the house drawn with the speed in every room, real speed numbers at every spot you actually use the internet, and a clear-eyed look at the gear you’ve already got.
About 90 minutes on site. A written report inside 24 hours — plain English, prioritised recommendations, and a clear sense of what to do next. If the answer is “you don’t need to spend money”, that’s what we’ll tell you. We’d rather lose a sale than oversell.
Things we won’t try to sell you.
There’s no monthly fee, no ongoing subscription, no tier-three plan we’d love to upgrade you to. If your problem is solvable with the gear you already own, we’ll show you exactly how to fix it and leave. Most of the time that’s the answer.
We cover all of Drumcondra (3215) and every street nearby — no travel fee inside the Geelong, Surf Coast, Bellarine, Golden Plains and Colac & Otways service area.
