Broadband in Meath

    Recently moved into a new build in the Tara area of Meath near Rathfeigh. Can't seem to get any connected broadband and looks like some sort of wireless connection is going to be my only option. Havnt had any great help from any provider. Looking at maybe imagine, Vodafone, or ripple but have been told to avoid them terrible to deal with.

    Most frustrating part is the eir have run fibre cable along the road I live on 2km in each way and left a section of about half a kilometre in the middle without running it which makes no sense to me.

    Questions are does anyone know can you contact eir and ask if they plan on doing it tried to ask and got no where and fibre roll out doesn't show it as planned which I think is crazy.

    Failing that would anyone have a recommendation to who has the best wireless options available or other people's experience?

    Tara services come east, Balrath services come south west. You're in the area between both where density dropped past where they wanted to service you. The NBP thats in the news today covers you. You can't get eir to change on this.


    Imagine are headed for trouble at the minute. Don't sign up to them until that all shakes out. Ripple will probably be on the slower end.

    I'd try a Three sim card around the garden and see what 4G speeds are like especially on Friday and Saturday nights. If good they could be a decent option. If they're poor test Vodafone next.
