Broadband in Wexford

stewie01

hello,
any1 know where you could get broadband wifi connections around the wexford town area or castlebridge/curracloe area to hook up the lappy.

help appreciated

I presume that the net cafés will have it.. theres one near whites..

Also, try the hotels / coffee shops

RadioRetro

Whites Hotel has a hotspot in it, otherwise there's a few like in O'Brien's Sandwich Bars and the SuperValu supermarket (by the eircom payphone) that you can access via a prepaid card thingy or a subscription. There's a full list of their hotspots here , although some are for Enniscorthy and Gorey and a couple of other places.

A quick search should show you other networks hotspots, if any.

Hi,
Has anyone any news on this regional broadband......saw an advertisement in Enniscorthy town for this recently

All threads re Broadband have been merged into this one.

In future, please post any Wexford focused broadband queries in this thread.

Edit: If this becomes a shill / bashing thread, I'm locking it and banning all involved.

According to the county council website the Quay in Wexford town has wifi so you could use your laptop there.

Hi im in gorey and have it and its ideal if you dont have a landline thats why i got them ,they just put a dish on your roof and off you go ,it will set you back around 35 euro a month always on.

Is that Skytel? I use this when I am home - generally good (we have great LOS) but it has its bad days when it drops for no reason.

aequinoctium

Whatever you do dont get RegionalBroadband... on a 2Mb connection, lucky to get 50k downloads on a good day, and 1.1k a sec on bad day...


.... actually, correction, a bad days is when there is no service...
