Personally I wouldnt call them broadband, They are a satalite internet access company. You are still going to need a phonline for the upstream so you have to pay for dialup. I myself wouldnt touch it with a stick. But if you are dead set on getting it I would recomend a different company their site looks like its been made by a 12 year old.

sky dsl does the same thing exactly ...anyway which bit of Galway are you in as there are wireless alternatives in some of the county ?

I've been looking at the site for the last year or so, as I was considering
getting their system as it looked really good.
They have never replied to any of my questions, and the only changes
they have made to the site since I first saw it is to increase their prices.

Thanks smellslikeshoes, was considering them as the only alternative. my choices are these or lastmile (Would need a 70 foot pole to get them!), my bt/iol dialup is now doen to 14.4k and 0.5k download most of the time. Cant really afford to sell up and move to get broadband. We (ballygar) were on the fiert list of Group Broadband Scheme areas but in brackets it said "subject to board approval", I assume this meant Eircom board approval, so nowt happened. Both of the villages either side of us have broadband, but not us and no sign of it ever happening. Internet is really unuseable at current speeds, and I`m now paying more than some broadband packages for IOl anytime, which seems to mean, dial in anytime and wait up to 15 mins per website page, which most times dont have any grapghics, just holes where there meant to be!. Rant over for now

Cheers
