    Does anyone know of the availability a satellite/wireless broadband providor in the Dowdstown, Maynooth, Co. Kildare area? To be more specific, it is for an address in "The Courtyard" which is on the grounds of the TLC nursing home. I've been unsuccessful to date in getting responses from a few companies.

    Stay away from Satellite. It's not really a suitable option for Broadband, and should only be used in the most extreme circumstances where there is absolutely NO other sniff of Broadband line or signal. It's too slow, limited and expensive.

    Fibre cab MNT1_022 is live and it doesn't seem too far (<1KM) from TLC. Getting a phone line in with proper broadband would be the best option. (presuming that phone lines are provided from this cab)

    It doesn't look like Imagine cover the area.

    Alternatively use this map, drop the marker on the house in question and tick Wireless ISPs on the left hand side and it will show you what fixed wireless operators cover the area. Give them a call and they will tell you if they can actually hit the house.

    Edit: Also of course check out which Mobile providers have good 4G signal in the area - watch out for ridiculous data limits on some. If Three have a 4G signal there, then get an AYCE SIM, activate it in a phone and then fire it into a mobile router and throw €20 at it every month. It's against their Ts&Cs, but nobody seems to care.
