    There's a 3G mast off in the distance in front of our house. Is it possible for us to change our wifi to come from this mast and improve our wifi connectivity. If possible, how exactly would I go about discovering what company owns the mast and how would we go about connecting to it?

    The short answer - no, not possible.

    Your broadband is ADSL, across copper line. 3G is a totally different technology.

    How do you know that?
    OP might well have a 3G internet connection, and be looking for a way of finding the best provider.

    @dmullins3 What company is providing the broadband currently?
    Comreg have a site available at
    http://www.siteviewer.ie
    that might help you track down whose mast it is. Put in your address or townland and see if you can find the mast you see.
