Sky broadband?

[bq67ie]

Hi

Sky recently announced they will be introducing a broadband service to Ireland.

Does anyone know will this be through the Sky dish, or will they be just another provider using the crappy old Eircom lines?

I live in an estate in Raheny that is cursed with 1/2M "broadband" speed, UPC don't cover our area, and I'd dearly love a proper broadband service.

And yes, I have contact Sky themselves but they've yet to respond...

Thanks
Bill

They will be a fixed line reseller. Even if they were to embrace satellite 'broadband', that's not going to be an attractive offering regardless of who tries to implement it!

Bad news but thanks for the information.

You could try www.digiweb.ie - they do a decent broadband service. Have used them myself for quite a few years, but use UPC now due to higher speed. Can highly recommend digiweb though!
