The main wireless broadband service offers various broadband packages from 5 Mbit/s down/1 Mb up (economy service) to 30 Mb down/1 Mb up (premium service). Transceiver locations are available in all major cities – Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway, Waterford, Kilkenny – as well as a dozen or so towns around Ireland including Drogheda, Dundalk and Letterkenny. The service requires line-of-sight to the transceiver location and is offered up to 10 km from the point-of-service; this limit was set under the original Comreg licence conditions, but is also a limitation of the system for adequate performance in heavy rain. Metro uses DOCSIS 2.0 over microwave frequencies. Digiweb are also testing a DOCSIS 3.0 platform supporting speeds in excess of 100 Mbit/s. A smaller-scale wireless broadband service (using Airspan) is offered in smaller towns around the country. As Digiweb offer a phone service without the Eircom copper pair, they are one of the few competitors along to Eircom's fixed line voice service. ===Mobile broadband and phone=== In April 2007, Digiweb announced that they are set to become Ireland's fifth mobile phone provider. ComReg, the telecoms regulator, allocated the 088 prefix to the new network – the same prefix used by Eircell's old analogue TACS system. The service would have been Ireland's first 4G network and should have taken 18 months to be rolled out, however the rollout was cancelled by early 2008. ===Business broadband=== In 2007, they launched a revised business broadband portfolio with speeds of 100 Mbit/s as well as higher-end solutions with extra capacity and symmetrical speeds. In mid-2008, they announced the launch of a 1 Gb business package. ==Web hosting services== Digiweb also provide web hosting and domain services in their purpose-built data centre based in Blanchardstown, Dublin. Services include shared, virtual, cloud, CoLo and dedicated hosting options. ==Other countries== Satellite broadband and ISP services such as hosting and domain registration are offered by Digiweb in Ireland, France, Italy and the United Kingdom. ==References==
