broadband in kilcolgan

padraig71

I'm moving to Kilcolgan and want to know whether I can get a broadband connection. My prospective landlord told me that the previous tenant had a connection, but didn't know with which company. Any ISP I've checked so far doesn't have coverage (besides their all being disappointingly slow, expensive and having limited downloads - I had Smart Telecom in my previous place in Galway city and that was 4Mb with unlimited downloads for €40 a month, but unfortunately they don't serve Kilcolgan). Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

The exchange was enabled about two years ago. I'm with eircom and it works fine. Contention is noticeable now and again. The best thing is the free speed upgrades: 2 Mbps going up to 3 Mbps; 3 Mbps going up to 7.6 Mbps (line dependent, of course).

Digiweb is meant to be serving the area. There's also a local wireless group broadband scheme.

Hmm, from reading threads in the Broadband forum, I wouldn't be keen on Irish BB or Clearwire
