    Hi there!

    My girlfriend is about to do a traineeship in Roscommon for three months. She'll be living in a house that doesn't have any internet respectively broadband access.
    Is 3ireland.ie a good choice to aquire an internet hook up? Do you guys have any other recommendations for the situation? It should have broadband speed and it should be limited to three months...

    Thanks a lot!!!

    Marcel

    In a word, no. Avoid like the plague that it is.

    All the mobile operators have 12 month contracts, Vodafone or O2 would be worth trying, but broadband speeds are far from guaranteed, especially if it's in rural locations. All the other broadband packages will have a minimum of 6-12 months contract too.

    I presume you mean their pay as you go product and not the pay monthly which has a year contract. If your girlfriend is only going to be here for 3 months there really isn't a choice other than 3 Ireland. With 3 she will have internet access but the speeds will usually be less than 1 mbit and sometimes be close to dialup speeds.

    Presuming he is going with 3 because of their pay as you go option. http://www.3ireland.ie/broadband/3pay.htm
