What part of Galway? Have you looked at LightNet?

westside area.

I get metro but I am close enough to the mast. You need line of sight to the mast in the substation in ballybane, not the eircom mast, or the one in oranmore if living out that side.

chech to ensure your signal is constant, when i had wireless i was supposed to have 3g download, i had but not a steady n3g's, i would be up to 3, then down to 0.50, download and run SpeedOf.Me, this will reveal all

how can i find out what companies use what masts???

OP - have you checked out this Map?

Drop the marker on your house and tick the Wireless ISPs option. This will show you what FWA providers are in your area. Give em a call and see if they can actually see your house from their mast.

Not necessarily. There is only one provider covering my area.

seanjoyce21 · 28-09-2015 1:38pm

ya but the one im currently using didnt show up so thats why i think its wrong, i even tried other addresses and all that comes up is that airwire. also im only 2 miles from the housing estates that have fibre.

it could be wrong alright. I can get Lightnet and Airwire but that map only shows airwire for me.

The only other map that I know of is Comreg's MNO Siteviewer map but that only identifies the mobile masts - http://www.askcomreg.ie/mobile/siteviewer.273.LE.asp
