    I've moved to the country side and can't get high speed broadband as I'm use to UPC, but they don't serve the rural area of Ireland, I've done my research and the best fixed line bb I could get was eircom which has max speed of 1mb per sec in this day and age that's not good enough they are other providers suggesting satellite bb but you can't stream or game,
    I mainly need it for streaming and downloading, so if anyone can help with suggestion maybe a SIM card data based wifi dongle that is unlimited and has good speeds, or any other suggestion..
    Thanks in advance

    There might be fixed wireless providers in your area.
    Whereabouts are you?

    He means Fixed Wireless Access providers such as Ripplecom and Permanet. Eircom provide line broadband. FWA usually has better speed and lower latency than 3g. FWA providers also have a larger usage allowance than 3g. Go to IrelandOfffline's coverage map at http://irelandoffline.org/map/ and tick the "Wireless ISPs" box to check which ones are available in your area.
