    I doubt you'll have much luck, but hang in there - we just might have something happening there in the next few weeks.

    Hey, well there are one or two alternative's. one being Westnet, the other one being mobile broadband.

    I'm working in westport at the moment in an o2 shop, and we're selling the o2 mobile broadband. For an 18month contract, it's €19.99 per month, and €19.99 for the modem.

    If you want more information about our contact details or availablity in your area, just buzz off a PM, otherwise, I shall spam you no more. :pac:

    I got the O2 modem too and its fantastic. Odd time it disconnects due to lack of coverage but this is in an area where it shouldn't have any. all in all its sound and i'd recommend it to anyone. In swinford its perfect all the time.
