Dunaff ditches dial-up
11.05.10
PEOPLE in Urris and
Dunaff, Clonmany, can now ditch the dial-up and get
access to the internet through the National
Broadband Scheme.
Cllr Charlie McConalogue said the area had little or
no internet availability until now.
“It will make a significant difference for those who
wish to use internet in their daily lives or for
work and study,” said Cllr McConalogue.
Broadband has become available wirelessly via a mast
erected recently in the area by ‘3 Telecom’ as part
of the National Broadband Scheme. |

“Coverage should be
very good due to the fact that homes in the area are
on a relatively flat landscape,” added the Donegal
deputy mayor.
He also reminded people in Malin and Malin Head that
wireless internet under the National Broadband Sheme
is also available to them. The Malin mast is sited
on the RTE mast site and went live last October.
“I'm also continuing to work to help deliver
internet to the Culdaff, Gleneely and Carrowmenagh
area and I am hopeful that wireless internet can be
secured in these areas during this year. I commend
‘3 Telecom’ for the very strong effort it is making
to deliver this service as soon as possible. I know
that it can’t some soon enough for many,” he added. |
