SKY Broadband In Ireland

kennyt

Hi.

I live in an area where Broadband in unavailable. I was looking into my options and was thinking about SKY Broadband. Does anyone know how this works? Is it through the dish? or phoneline? If it is through the dish would it be possible to order it in the North and use it in the south?

thanks for any help.

So your going to use your parents address in NI and then you think you will get it in your home in ROI. Good one. Just think about what your said.

You can get Sky boardband in NI in some areas. Check here

Can't get Sky Broadband in Ireland, as everyone else has said. Have you tried Chorus NTL though? We're with them for TV and broadband and while the connection can sometimes be a bit flaky (busy times etc) it's pretty good, and great if it's all you can get.

was just wondering if it was through the sky dish or the phoneline? probably a stupid question...

looks like its through the phoneline... thats the end of that then.
thanks for the replies.

It is by the phone line and you get a wireless router.

Sky as is sky.com do not operate in Ireland and are unlikely to do so unless they buy out another provider such as Digiweb (as they now own Smart) AND the market will need to change

They do ADSL in the Uk, Like any other provider, nothing to do with Sat.

A friend just told me he had two guys at his door saying hey were from Sky offering
"sky broadband" this was in Tipp town. Don't know it was legit or just two con men. They said you would have to sign up with a new contract.

This was today by the way.
Does anyone know if this is real cos if so sign me up.

Not another Sky Broadband thread. For the millionth time, it will be well announced if/when it happens.

Also, don't drag up years old threads.
