Hi all,

I'm building a house about 11 miles as a crow flies from Athlone and I have good line of sight. Anyone know if it that's with in range, as I dont have the house yet, I cant get a site survey and the guys at last mile were a bit unsure when I asked them
Since I'm living in the sticks, surrounded by nothing (which I like), there's no chance of eircom BB ever coming to my area.
Tks

Irish Broadband have 3.5GHz licenses in Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway and Waterford. They have indicated that it will be a few months before they have 3.5GHz Ripwave gear running in Dublin, and I don't know what their plans are in the other cities.

As far as I can tell from the Navini website IBB are the only ISPs using Ripwave in Ireland. Though it is interesting to note that Iona are listed as a Technology Partner as well.
