    You might have a better chance of getting ripwave in Cahirdavin to be honest.

    Has it been tested?

    Dont accept failure unless it has been tested. I am on the other side of the city and way out in the sticks and I can get it. I had the best signal that the installers had seen.

    Have the Digiweb Metro, I live on the Fr. Russell Road. Jury still out as far as I am concerned.

    It took nearly 10 weeks before I got connected to broadband.

    6 weeks later got the phone connected.

    Phone not very good so far as regards sound quality.

    Broadband getting me nowwhere near 3mps lucky to get 2mps and for a few days last week it was not working at all.

    Tech support very slow to respond to calls ( if they respond at all)

    Hope the service improves, woulds hate to drop them but.....................

    Moved to Metro from EsatBT 3 weeks ago, had a failure for 2 days but as far as we know that was't digiweb's problem. TBH it is a fantastic service. 2.85 all the way:)

    Have had it a week ( was waiting only 12 days)-tried the phone last night.Crystalclear but occasional split second pauses like the call waiting effect. Am going to test it for another while before I ditch eircom. Can't complain about broadband.
