If you can see corrin hill then you will be able to get it. What I would say is that performance is good all day but poor in the evening - I suspect someone is either downloading music / movies or playing high bandwith online games. overall though good people to deal with Tom, another satisfied Airwave customer here, I’m just outside Glanworth.

After 2 months of useless conversation with BT's completely inept and dysfunctional call centre and several calls to Eircom, I've not been told that my line 'shows excess broadband signal loss', in order words is not suitable for receiving broadband. Eircom will not send anyone to look at the problem and won't even discuss it with me. (The estate agent told us broadband was available in our house, but she obviously lied or didn't understand what broadband was!) Anyone like to recommend a wireless provider? Any updates on vodafone/o2/3g mobile providers in the area? After three years of good broadband connectivity in Kildare and Cork city, this is like stepping back in time! Hi all,

I am a student in Cork Institute of Technology and we were recently asked to do a real life project on WiFi coming to Cork City.. Do you think it will work? What do you think the charge should be? And what are the main broadband competitors in Cork City? Thanks for all your help. Hi Tom..

Price aside, I find them totaly incompetent and unable to provide any kind of service, luckly the choice has recently grown (Airware and Nona now offering service) Have already requested the change over,am moving to Nova. I really can't stick the current crowd any more. They drop service more than I care to mention and I even recently got my signal shutdown as they where having an issue with my particluar connection, and decided it best to shut my connection, without even a phone call!! I had to ring and enquire before finding out! My advice; stay clear of Ardmore Technologies if possible... Nova Networks here I come, so long Ardmore Technologies!!
