Clare Island joined the speedy end of the broadband world recently with a brand new wireless network built to provide high speed Internet access to residents. Local Mayo broadband company WestNet built the network which covers the harbour area and the eastern side of the Island.
WestNet have been based in Mayo for the last six years and are strongly committed to providing quality broadband services in smaller communities and places other providers don’t see profit in. It’s typical of WestNet to extend their services to the islands. “We see all our customers as being equal”, says Peter Moore, “We now have over a hundred local access points and a high capacity licensed wireless backbone running the length of the county. The network reaches from Charlestown to Achill, and a quick call to WestNet will confirm whether your house or business can be connected”. The number to call is 1850 930305.
