    Anyone have experience of using irish broadband ripwave in celbridge? A friend of mine has just got 2nd modem,after the 1st didnt get a signalk they sent a 2nd ,still no signal ,also have tried in lucan ,still no signal ? customer service said go upstaits etc walk around the house backwards etc !! seems like a lost cause? does anyone know of a wireless rpovider that might actually do what it says it does? (My friend is living in castletown estate.) :confused:

    I use ripwave in Celbridge and I usually get 2-300kbps download speeds from speedtest.ie but the uploads are bad, 2k on a bad to 70k on a good day.

    So it's ok for casual surfing.

    Also it only works from one window sill in the house (pointing noth east I think). When looking for a signal leave the unit for a minute or two to register, etc.

    Depending on where you live, Digiweb Metro may be available. It's not on their website but is served from Maynooth - give them a ring.

    I have Digiweb Metro in Leixlip. I'd definitely recommend it. The speeds are way, way better than quoted above for IBB.

    Give Digiweb a call and see and they'll tell you from your street address if you're likely to be able to get it. If you subsequently order, they'll then come out and do a signal test and, if it passes, they will install it there and then.

    Thanks for reply, I think they have given up on wireless and ordered the regular BB :cool:
