Broadband in Athlone!

tomED

Hello!

A friend of mine is trying to get broadband in Athlone - surely someone must be providing broadband in Athlone?????

His more interested in the eircom / netsource / esat options than satelite or radio waves.

His numer begins with 0906...

Anyone know anything?

Thanks in advance!

When you say - "if his line is up for it" - does that mean if it is enabled at the exchange?

I just gave the number to netsource and they told me it wasnt available??

Thanks!

area code for athlone is now 090(0902 is dropped) , then you add 64 infront of your 5 digit phone number,so you have 7 digit phone number e.g. 090 64xxxxx
