[edit] Broadband Services

[edit] Home Broadband

Digiweb offer a variety of broadband services in Ireland: Metro Wireless Broadband (Broadband & Phone), Mobile Broadband (as of 2007), DSL Broadband (over standard phone lines) and Satellite broadband.

The main wireless broadband service offers various broadband packages from 1Mb down/256kb up (economy service) to 10Mb down/2Mb up (premium service). Transceiver locations are available in all major cities, Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway, Waterford, Kilkenny as well as a dozen or so towns around Ireland. The service requires line-of-sight to the transceiver location and is offered up to 10 km from the point-of-service; this limit was set under the original Comreg licence conditions. Metro uses DOCSIS 2.0 over microwave frequencies.

A smaller-scale wireless broadband service (using Airspan) is offered in smaller towns around the country.

As Digiweb offer a phone service without the Eircom copper pair they are one of the few competitors along to Eircom's fixed line voice service.

[edit] Mobile Broadband & Phone

In April 2007, Digiweb announced that it is set to become Ireland's fifth mobile phone provider. ComReg, the telecoms regulator, allocated the 088 prefix to the new network - the same prefix used by Eircell's old analogue TACS system. The service will be Ireland's first 4G network and should take 18 months to be rolled out. ^[1] ^[2]
