Hi ,
I am in a rural area outside kenagh in longford. I need to get broadband but cannot. I have tried eircom, lastmile, vodafone etc nut cannot get it.

I was reading a post about external antennae for boosting HSDPA broadband and just wanted to know what people's experiences were.

going by O2's coverage map, I am outside by a couple of hundred yards.

Thanks.
