Depends on what your requirements are. If only for home use, I would lean towards the wireless. Simply because satellite home packages are normally just a one way system. You download via satellite, but need dial-up connection for upload. 2 way satellite can be very expensive. Have a look through the threads here. Have seen this topic mentioned before. If your set on satellite, I have heard positive comments about Sky DSL.

Thats Ripwave so its not Broadband and is not available in Laois anyway.

Have you heard of Digiweb (active in and round Portlaoise ) or maybe Clearwire or maybe Permanet who are close or even Premier Broadband near the Tipp border, see This Thread

Laois people seem to have options, choices even
