    Leap and Com1 or other Alternative Wireless ISP's

    Hi All,

    I would like to know if anyone out there has experienced these two ISP's wireless Broadband.
    I email both providers last week about prices and coverage but I have not received any email from them yet. Their websites aren’t detailed at all,

    I am looking for the following information
    Coverage in Galway
    Bandwidth and Cost
    Installation details

    I have never heard them advertise there products so it would be interesting to see what kinda service they offer

    I have herd reports of people being connected in Galway up to 12km from there base station. But at what cost?

    No need to mention IBB as we all have heard enough from them.

      people in Kilcolgan and Kinvara are connected from Tonabrocky. (Hill north of Knocknacarra)

      It works well but it is costlier than IBB , certainly to install .

      Clearwire are also due to launch in Galway shortly but will not have the same range.

      Irishwan is busy here and there .

      Hi I emailed Clear wire and they got back to me today. with this, they say they are now avalible in Galway.
      Activation fee of €39.95, (applies to both products) with the:
      -1MB COSTING 24.95 P/MONTH for first 3 months / 39.95 p/month after.

      -2MB COSTING 34.95 P/MONTH for first 3 months / 49.95 p/month after.

      Clearwire is currently available in Galway, (limited sites), Also we do support VOIP,
      It's a pitty about the VoIP, but i reckon it would work on the 2Mb service as 256kb upload should be enough
