It's not really clear what you're asking about here or what issue you're having but the 48 APN settings are explained here:

https://community.48.ie/t5/The-Knowledge-Base/Data-APN-Settings-i-e-Internet-amp-MMS-Settings/ta-p/53106

If you're on Android then you can text "APN" to 50048 and follow the instructions here to configure the settings:

Yes I did all that but my data was still slow so I went on to 3 apn since it's the same network and the only thing missing in 48 apn settings is on APN Type and on 3 it's default,supl,xcap
Every other setting is the 48 apn setting. My Internet is better

I don't understand.

APN Type = default,supl,mms is specified in the link that I posted above.

On three Ireland there apn type is default,supl,xcap. So I copied this because I was getting slow internet with all the settings from 48 even though it's the same network and I changed this and now I'm getting better internet

Did you try it with APN Type = default,supl,mms?

I can't see how xcap can make any difference to your mobile data connectivity or performance to be honest.

Yes mms is separate. Well it did and doesn't ask 3?

Sorry, I don't understand what you're asking.

Did you try APN Type = default,supl,mms instead of APN Type = default,supl,xcap?

I can't see why xcap would make any difference to your mobile connectivity and reliability.
