    Hi there folks,
    I'm looking for a broadband connection for my parents living and working most of the year down in South Kerry (very south, an island in fact...)

    Given the remoteness of the house it's too far from a DSL enabled exchange. I *think* it's on Cahirciveen exchange and I'm fairly sure that's enabled. Fails bb test on Eircom and BT site anyway.

    I'm thinking of suggesting a 3 datacard and Huawei E220.

    Looks good for the price (€129 for the card and €19.99 per month) but what's the service like?

    I've had a look at the map on the site and it *looks* covered but their site doesn't seem to... work (get an Apache Tomcat error) and I can't zoom in on the map to see.

    The actual product page doesn't seem to explain much either...

    http://store.3ireland.ie/priceplan.aspx?pid=154&loc=PP&catid=1.0

    Does this say it's €19.99 for a 10GB limit and €39.99 for a 3GB limit? Something up there...

    Anyway, is it a viable alternative to DSL? Reliable and quick?

    I'm not expecting a full 2Meg connection or anything here but something better than dial up anyway...

    If 3 isn't the way can anyone suggest anything else?

    It's Valentia Island by the way.
