Net1
Net1 is an Internet Service Provider based in northeast Ireland.
Service Delivery
Net1 delivers broadband services to homes and businesses using FWA (Fixed Wireless access) from base stations in Louth, Meath, Cavan, Monaghan, Fingal and parts of Armagh, Westmeath, Tyrone, Longford and Fermanagh counties. Net1 is authorised in the Republic of Ireland by ComReg and in Northern Ireland by Ofcom. A telephone line is not required to receive the Net1 broadband services. Each base station's coverage area has a radius of 20 kilometres (12 mi) using Near Line of Sight technology, meaning that foliage and buildings can obstruct the signal.
Voice over Internet
In August 2007, Net1 started offering a VoIP service, meaning that their customers no longer required a phone line to use Internet and telephony services.
Competitors
Net1's main competitors in the market are Digiweb, Irish Broadband and Ice Communications, and, to a lesser extent, Clearwire and ADSL providers eircom, BT and UTV
