    Hi,

    Just wondering what broadband options are available in Johnstown, Co. Kildare. From what I understand, UPC don't supply the area (although TV is available), and it also doesn't appear to be prioritised by Eircom. Their Fibre-buildout map has Johnstown as a gaping hole between Naas and Kill. I can't seem to find much further information online.

    Anybody living in Johnstown, or otherwise in the know, willing to share their experiences/knowledge?

    Thanks.

    I only know what you've said. Is Sky Broadband an option?

    Sky Broadband = Eircom Broadband. It is not satellite delivered. They can only offer what Eircom can, anywhere.

    UPC TV in that area is MMDS, not wired.

    Thanks. That doesn't sound promising. Is that based on personal experience?
