Internet Companies in rural Limerick

brianregan09

Hi I'm looking to know what internet companies out there would cover fedamore. Like local companies I hate dealing with the likes of eir and Vodafone.

Have a contract with one for a couple of years but it's painfully slow and I'm looking for options now

Imagine LTE could be your best bet if available in the area.

When will fibre broadband be available to you - http://fibrerollout.ie/

What does the NBP map indicate for your eircode - http://www.dccae.gov.ie/en-ie/communications/topics/Broadband/national-broadband-plan/high-speed-broadband-map/Pages/Interactive-Map.aspx

Check out the fibre most companies are charging 50-60 quid a month I simply couldn't afford that I'm paying 25 a month at the moment for one of those coming in through the sat dish but it's very slow

When you say sat dish are you referring to a satellite provider like QSat or a local Wireless ISP like Nova Broadband, Celtic Broadband?

Have you checked out the mobile networks' broadband options?

This company is excellent and currently investing in a new generation of WISP equipment for speeds far in excess of competitors.

Unfortunately if you want faster speeds your gonna be paying a bit more than 25 quid a month.

my experience with celtic were of the horrible kind, shelling out 35 a month a few years back and it could not pull a ccline from the uk, plent of numbers and figures being shoved my way, if only they could be used to download i would have been sorted

I don't mind paying up to 40 odd as long as I can run iptv off it and play online without horrible lag

I had nova broadband in fedamore and it worked fine for me at 45 quid per month. The only problem is the 10gb daily download limit.

Recently changed to pure telecom. Still 45 a month but it's noticeably faster and has no download limit. It has an 18 month contract though whereas the nova broadband contract was only for 6 months.


Edit:

Neither of these connections would be fast enough for IPTV

I'm considering switching to Vodafone its 25 a month for 6 months and then it changes to 45 a month but its 18 mb download (well thats at max speed anyway) should be plenty for what I need I reckon

CHeck the speeds on their website. They use eircom lines so if eir is slow so will Vodafone.

Check the line speed for your location here - http://fibrerollout.ie/rollout-map/can-i-get-eir-fibre-broadband/

That's very good for rural. In donoughmore myself, only two kilometres from a few housing estates with fibre and we can only get between 0.8mb and 1.4mb.

I think theres an exchange only around the corner from me so that probably helps
