Hi Noreen,
Any chance of a Wireless connection via Irish Wireless Broadband or some
equivalent? I have a connection at the moment via Amocom here in the city. I
have 512 kb download speed and 256 kb upload. Skype is fine on it.
I tried to go to Smarttelecom before Christmas but they could not give me
Broadband afte promising me it. By the time we found out that I had given
them my line and changed phone number. I ended up telling them to get lost
and they left me for 10 days without any line connection to anyone at all!
I am now back with Eircom and got back my old number, however while I had no
line I joined the Wireless broadband service Amocom.
Regards
Aedan.

Hi Aedan,
Still learning as you can see and it is great to see you on the list.
Thanks for that extra piece of information
. All I need now is Broad Band, but no definite date from Eircom as to when
it will be available in Charleville.
Kind regards,
Noreen
