    Tricky question best answered by ringing them. Most of their broadband is over cable (you're out of luck), but some broadband is over microwave (mostly Chorus), but you'd have to ring (and/or consult with neighbours) to find if you're covered. Rural Meath is probably a no, but ring to find out.

    Have you look here on the right had side, "What services are available at my address?" it will tell you what is on offer before you need to order.

    Also distance from exchange is not relevant, since it does not use the phone line. I am 200 meters from a telephone exchange, but this has no relevant to NTL
