hi guys I have been involved in getting wireless broadband for our community in west cork, this started off last year march 05, we were part of the goverment community scheme, one year on, 80% of the area is now covered, it is a great achevement as the area is fairly hilly,the rates are:-
€25 for 512K up & down, contention rate 40:1, allowance 10GB
€37.50 for 1M up & down, contention rate 24:1 allowance 15 GB
€50 for 2M up & down, contention rate 24:1 allowance 20 GB
installation/connection charges € 150 inc vat,
there are also business rates upto 4M up and down
on the, whole apart from the inital set up glitches,the community, who have been installed, have been quite excited and pleased with broadband, I realy hope that all other rural areas will be able to get broadband, the web site is:- rapidbroadband.ie
