    I'm assuming this is more of a midband than broadband service, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with their service, good or bad?

    They are based and deliver in Cork.

    Thanks

    Can't find much about them their site doesn't seem great either.

    I'm thinking they are fixed wireless provider ie. not midband
    You would probably have to get in contact with them to ask them about the services they provide and how they provide it.

    It's a wireless radio broadband service.

    Haven't heard of them before, but that's actual broadband, probably comparable to basic DSL

    They say on their site that they cover : Bandon/Ballinadee/Ballinspittle/ Old Head/Dunderrow/Kinsale/Belgooly/Riverstick/Ballygarvan/Macroom

    You'd probably be best off giving them a ring and finding out.

    Other options in Cork, if you want FWA (Fixed Wireless Access) via an antenna on your roof are :

    In the City, satellite towns, harbour area etc and surrounds : Nova Networks and Digiweb Metro

    East Cork : try East Cork Broadband
    West Cork : try Rapid Broadband

    The other options are not options for me due to coverage unfortunately. I was just hoping to get an honest review as to the standard of service provided by someone using them. But it's so localised it will be hard I imagine.

    Good service no problems, only thing i find is it can get abit slow if there is more than 1 laptop online thats the 23 euro bundle. I know theres a faster one for 32 if you really need it and he gives free wireless router. overall im happy with the service my options were limited though as eircom and digiweb arent available.

    I subscribed to Fasttrack in the end. using the service now for over 2 weeks and find it excellent.

    I had wired DSL as it was only 1.6MB down...

    Hi Tazio,

    I'm also looking to get better 'broadband' in Riverstick... can you tell me what speed you are now getting with Fasttrack?

    Thanks.
