    I was just wondering what is the cheapest broadband available that doesn't require a phone line.
    I know someone that wants to get broadband but doesn't want to have to pay for a phone line along with the broadband.
    It will be just used for surfing the internet and notthing else.
    What is the cheapest option available? and they're not living in a city it's in the country in Balinalack in Westmeath.

    Ripwave I would say ..

    Ripwave - Broadband In A Box

    You can pick them up alomost anywhere. DID do them and Xtravision too but quality of signal depends where you live.

    Here's some posts you can read to see if it suits ..

    Ripwave on Boards.ie

    Ripwave Isn't Broadband It's similar to 3G Mobile without the advantage of being really mobile. (3G HSPA from O2, 3, Meteor or Vodafone isn't Broadband either)

    Imagine/IBB breeze (same outfit) IS Broadband (Fixed Wireless)

    Other alternatives are UPC Cable (TV is optional) (aka NTL/Chorus)

    Digiweb Metro or Fixed Wireless.

    Westnet
    Airwire

    etc. Fixed Wireless Operators

    It is with a Pringle's Can :)

    I have a friend in Ballynacargy who uses O2's 'mobile broadband' and is happy enough with it and another mate is in Mullingar and uses Digiweb's Metro .. here's a link - maybe give them a call and see if the signal stretches out your way.

    I've used ripwave with an MMDS dish. It still wasn't Broadband.
