[edit] Ireland
Digiweb offer a variety of broadband services in Ireland: Satellite broadband, DSL broadband (over standard eircom-leased phone line) and Wireless broadband. As of 2006 the DSL broadband has higher speeds available than some other providers, with more premium services offering up to 5 Mb downstream (although only a maximum of 256 kb upstream, this is usually limited by eircom).
The main wireless broadband service, marketed as Metro offers various broadband packages from 1Mb down/256kb up (economy service) to 8Mb down/2Mb up (expensive premium service). Transceiver locations are the 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 is the limit currently set under the 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, with basic broadband speeds and reduced range.
