my broadband options...

    In a month or so I'll find that my options for getting broadband have increased from none to several. At the moment I'm on ISDN & UTVip XL which I'm more or less happy with, except of course for the crap speed & relative high cost.

    I'll find myself in Douglas (Cork), finally on a DSL enabled exchange. The place I'm moving into doesn't have a phone line installed and knowing my luck if I get a line installed just for dsl the bloody thing will probably fail the line test. My options are

    1. Amocom
    2. Netsource SME
    3. Eircom, IOL, UTVip

    I'm grouping the rest of the RADSL providers in one due to the fact they all impose a download cap. Only thing that turns me off traditional DSL is the phoneline factor I've mentioned above. Don't really want to go to the expense of installing a line if I'm just gonna have to get it removed again.

    So Amocom is my number one if I have LOS (crossed fingers a plenty). I figure it's practically the lowest price (taking line rental into account) and could be (crossed fingers again) best service of the 3.

    This is basically a long & drawn out way of asking if there are any amocom users out there & could they give a little sceal of what they think of the service in general. I'm not a big time gamer, in fact if I join a game once every month its a lot.. More of having a need for speed & to be able to download rubbish that I don't really need at a ridiculously fast speed.

    Of course, failing the amocom LOS test means I'm gonna go down the wired broadband road and fork out for something like NS SME & wait for the copyright notices to flood in. I loves the mp3's so I do....

    I'm more drawn to wireless because it'll mean I'll finally be free of eircom and their bills!

    Anyway, thanks in advance for the comments (or at least thanks for the constructive ones:p)
