    I'm living in Lackagh (Woodlands), Co. galway. It's close to Claregalway but as far as I know I can't Bband.

    Anyone know different or are there any future plans?
    Cheers,
    Pa

    I think Lackagh comes under the Turloughmore exchange and this is on the list of 100 exchanges to be enabled for DSL this year. The last update I heard was June(ish).

    Im on the same exchange and am still waiting for BB. Ive heard it said on this board that Eircom are in the habit of putting exchanges on their list only when the likes of Vodafone activate a 3G tower in the area.(Which Im currently using). It something Ive raised with all canditates who call to the door, if only to put the idea in their heads that its something people need.

    A neighbour of ours knows an Eircom employee who lives in the area and swears that our exchange will be enabled by the beginning of June. I replied I'll believe it when I see it.

    Even when it does, while it will get me back playing FPS games online, it will still be woefully inadequate for the likes of Joost. The geek inside me quietly seethes, we probably will be in the ground by the time they get Fibre links out to us. Its just as well we have the scenery out here!
