Some providers are not yet offering DSL service for the Clifden Exchange, but hope to be offering the service within the next 6 months. Two of these include Smart Telecom and Magnet.

Magnet is currently offering contention-free broadband for 15.00 EUR per month, but they cannot specify an exact date on which they plan to start offering service to Clifden.
