Broadband in Ardrahan!

Miss-Tralee

Hey all,

I'm moving to Ardrahan from Galway city in 2 weeks, I just found out that UPC, which I already have, will not service the area... Need to know is there a broadband scheme or what would ye recommend??

Thanks,
Claire

Welcome to Ardrahan !

We're with Airwire.ie for broadband.
Dumped Eircom & went VOIP with Blueface.com as provider
& got SKY for the tv.
Don't know if there's much more choice in this area, yet.

Talk to Ken Carr of SOUND & VISION, Crowe St., Gort. about your options.

My parents live there, I'm pretty sure Eircom supply their broadband

Thanks for the advice! We are hoping to avoid paying line rental, connection fees and all that so don't know if Eircom would be good for us, to be honest I don't even know if there is a phone line in the house, it's pretty old, there probably is but I haven't noticed or enquired! Really looking forward to moving out there! Such a nice area! The other burning question is... What's the best local?? Hahaha!

Thanks!

Stay away from Eircom, pensioners get their line rental subsidised which reduces their costs. Best option would be Digiweb Metro which is available in Ardrahan, they will also provide a phone number over VOIP at no extra cost, I have also heard good reports about Airwire.

If it's a remote location you could end up with line pairing and speed problems by going with a land line broadband option, these sellers will sell you a product which is good for up to a certain speed. The problem is if your line isn't able to achieve the speed then it's your problem.

The 3G options from the mobile operators are a load of pants too speed wise.

+1 on Airwire. They are good, the signal is steady, the customer service good and no cap.

Highly recommended.
