    There should be quite a few providers (both mobile and fixed) provided you are within an acceptable distance from the town itself, Vodafone (landline and fixed), Eircom, O2(mobile) etc.

    I was on an 8 Meg package in the town for a couple of years with Eircom and never had a days bother with it, great speeds and consistent service, no downtime.

    I've been on a 24 Meg package with Eircom in a different location for last 12 months, and again, no problems whatsoever, getting full 24 Meg too, but I am very close to the exchange.

    Word of warning, steer clear of 3 mobile broadband if you can, had some nightmares with them, even in the middle of Donegal Town the service was a complete joke, inconsistent speeds and service was always down. I found that with most of the mobile providers (although Vodafone were ok), so would recommend you go with fixed broadband if you can at all, some cheap packages out there at the moment.

    If you go the mobile broadband route it entirely depends on your area and coverage. I am on o2 in Letterkenny and it works the best here but had 3 before here and it was rubbish. If you want to try this option you can return if not satisfied within a certain timeframe which is handy for checking it out.

    On landline you should be able to get eircom, smart, digiweb or any of the major providers in Donegal town.

    I'm in Donegal Town and with 02 mobile broadband for the last 4 years. 15gb a month for 19.99. While not super fast it's fine for everyday browsing. Can get a little slow in the evenings as more log on but I have never had any major problems with them. I'm about 2km from the diamond.

    I'm on the same and also when you sign up for the 15gb for €20 deal you get the usb modem for free. Good enough value deal I think providing the coverage is ok in your area.
