    I had Utv for a while but it was a bit up and down. Have only heard good reports form others though. Strange.

    Just hooked up to UTV last week with a 2 meg connection (max I could get). No complaints so far and their customer service has been good.

    I have Westnet as well and can't speak highly enough of it. Not sure if it's available in Castlebar town but if you pm oscarBravo he'll tell you all about it. Tell him I sent you cos I get 5 years free subscription with every referral :D

    Still with UTV and off the top of my head can only remember 1 time when the connection was down. Good broadband and good support.

    I hear Westnet are good also.
