    Hi,
    Im considering a move out the Wilton/sarsfield road direction but a mate told me that you cant get broadband up around there...

    I rang chorus and mentioned eagle valley & white oaks and they said it cant be got out there.
    Seems a little strange for such a heavily populated area.
    Maybe the customer service chick was a lazy git.

    Can anyone shed a little light on this?

    You should be able to get DSL in that area. Do you know anyone with a phone number in the area? Use that in the line checker on the Eircom site. Wireless might be tricky as Sarsfield road is a hill, and you might be behind the mast.

    The exchanges in the area are set up for broadband, but the question of an available port can leave you waiting for months.

    If I'm not mistaken, Smart Telecom operates out of the Dennehys Cross exchange.

    there are a couple of wireless operators that you could use, novanetworks and digiweb. I am in Mahon and have used nova networks for the last two years with a service i am happy with. As they are local you get a faster turn around on problems. Both digiweb and nova have transmitters by the airport so hopefully you should get BB from either. Amocon are also in the area but expensive.

    Technically, Eagle Valley isn't even in this country.
