Hey, its reasonable to assume that on a Carlow specific fourm on the INTERNET, that some posters may in fact HAVE THE INTERNET and also LIVE IN CARLOW.

Me sister is at me to find out wat interwebular options she has bein a c-c-c-carlow residentual occupant.

does she have much options? wat shud she go for? wat she she avoid? c'mon, gimme the skinny!

Nalz · 04-01-2007 01:49PM

avoid clearwire IMO

Digiweb metro is a good option and have recently launched in Carlow
€20 a month for 1mb broadband (10gb allowance) and a free phone line.

The_B_Man · 04-01-2007 01:59PM

thanks, that was fast!

is clearwire the wireless watcha-ma-jiggery-pokery?

digiweb looks like the front runner so! the girl wouldnt need anything more than 1mb anyway. MSN and downloadin MP3s. not exactly heavy on the cap. sure i've got 1mb at home and its grand, even for movies and games, so she shud be fine wit the most basic pacakge!

No suprise you jumped on that sentence!

As for the broadband go with digiweb as its a much better service than either irishbroadband or clearwire which are both terrible services.

for got to say if she has an eircom phone line all ready she might be better off with them as she will be all ready paying the rip-off line rental.

I love the way people are picking on me for saying what they were all thinking. DOnt hate me because I have balls, love me because I put myself on the line for you guys day in, day out.

Off topic, Im with Digiweb and never had an ounce of trouble with them.

Nalz · 04-01-2007 03:25PM

perv

10gb really does evaporate quite fast, each month. I think you'd be surprised.

That and I really think this would be better suited on some sort of broadband forum... if only we had one :rolleyes:

The_B_Man · 04-01-2007 04:40PM

ye I sed in me opening line why i posted here and not on Broadband forum. why ask a bunch of ppl from all over the country about carlow when i can ask ppl who live in carlow and have internet about the internet situation! makes more sense to me!

patrickc · 04-01-2007 04:46PM

I've been with utv for over 2 years now found them really good, think theyve a wireless option too. My current package is 20.99 for 2mb and 20g download limit. Their web address is u.tv

tom_ass19 · 04-01-2007 04:51PM

im with digiweb, got the 5mb line, 78 a month. very good service i think, also its kinda good in one way that when you go over ur cap they dont charge you, they just slow down ur line which is bad in one way but i suppose its better than payin more moula

Yes and by your logic there is also a regional forum that would similarly suit your needs. But that isnt the point, there is a designated fora for designated subjects.

I'll let it slide, but you should know that "I know this is wrong, but I did it anyway" isnt a valid defence.

The_B_Man · 05-01-2007 09:06AM

i mean me brother! now shut it!

wheres me jumpa · 05-01-2007 12:59PM

Brother eh?

The_B_Man · 05-01-2007 01:41PM

yes, my straight brother.

tho if ya wear a dress and change your name to wheresmegenitals, he might fall for it! He's a doctor too so he can prescribe ya anything ya want!

wheres me jumpa · 05-01-2007 03:06PM

Hes a doctor? So youre the funk up of the family? Similar role to me in my family!

B_Man eh?

The_B_Man · 05-01-2007 03:56PM

tell me about it! me little "brother" is in law school at the moment!

Nalz · 05-01-2007 03:59PM

jazzy fizzle to the both of ya

The_B_Man · 05-01-2007 04:15PM

is that code for "digiweb is rappeh!"? ill have to tell her to ring up and ask for the jazzy fizzle package.

Nalz · 05-01-2007 04:20PM

I think digiweb have decent cheap phonecalls through the oul bosca too...neighbour of mine that has it was saying it cost him 6euros a month to phone spain 2 a week. Not bad, said he was on for half an hour at one stage.

could be a load of cornflakes, but I believe him

wheres me jumpa · 05-01-2007 06:43PM

Cornflakes tbh.

daithimac · 08-01-2007 10:52AM

I'm planning on getting broadband in this week too. (yae me!!!)
does getting digiweb mean having to get anything installed on your roof or any such hobnobery. I'm done in may so I'm looking for a quick fix

yep, a little box/mini arial thing. If your finished in May its not worth it as you have to pay the whole year up front in order to get it cheap 1mb deal (20 euros a month)

daithimac · 08-01-2007 11:02AM

cheers. clearwire it is so.
I'll give them a ring then put through an order for 5 truckloads of klinex

ha ha. Make sure your room (or wherever you have your pc) is upstairs or a decent height. My brother and my mate both have had probs with them. My borther had to get a booster box off them because the signal was poor. He lives just outside Graiguecullen so thats not great IMO

daithimac · 08-01-2007 12:27PM

crappy mccrap crap. I'm on the ground floor out in college Green. is there anybody out there with clearwire

ShayK1 · 08-01-2007 02:12PM

I have clearwire. I live in anglers walk and have no problems. don't know if it reaches green road.....

woodyg · 08-01-2007 04:26PM

Does Clearwire not block all peer to peer traffic? I think they have all the ports locked down. It might be good for general surfing but if you want to actualy download content ya might be better off leaving it well alone
