Sometime in 2005/2006, according to this.

For more details, you'd really have to ring Eircom and suffer the hold, though I'd take what they say with a pich of salt.

Exactly - Eircom 1 Meg €45 (plus line rental) - NTL 1 Meg €25 (OK you have to pay your basic cable to get it, but at least you get a haggard of TV and radio channels for it!).

Com1 do wireless in Galway, the same technology IBB use but i think they work off a mast in Parkmore, so you may have LOS of that.

IBB have planned to go live on two high sites around Claregalway and Oranmore
ESB Claregalway
ESB Oranmore
The hope to have these live before July, intrest in both these area will push them to have to live faster
