Digiweb is a telecommunications company in Ireland, supplying business and consumer broadband and web hosting.
Digiweb is 100% Irish-owned and run, and is headquartered in Dundalk, County Louth, with its technical, installation and sales offices in Dublin. In May 2013, it acquired the British telecommunications company Viatel.
Digiweb offer a variety of broadband services in Ireland: Metro Wireless Broadband (broadband and phone), mobile broadband (as of 2007), DSL and VDSL broadband (over standard phone lines), and satellite broadband.
The main wireless broadband service offers various broadband packages from 5 Mb/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. Metro uses DOCSIS 2.0 over microwave frequencies. Digiweb are also testing a DOCSIS 3.0 platform supporting speeds in excess of 100 Mb/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.
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.
