Eircom and NTL

kirving · 2005-12-25 15:04:17

Right, I have NTL broaband(1mb) and my dad is getting Eircom for free in 2006, i have both here(i have to wait for the eicrom to be turned on). Is there a way that i could set ub both at the same time to one computer and get higher download speeds(for the short time that i have both befor my parents cancel NTL)???

Why on earth would you cancel NTL for Eircon???? NTL is a far better service.

I would choose quality, unless it is Eircon BB, Line rental and calls for free. NTL and VOIP will be cheaper.

Actually that is not true, it can be done but it isn't easy or cheap.

BTW I'd say hold onto NTL, Eircom just isn't as reliable or as fast. I had both DSL and NTL for about 2 months and NTL was far better (lower pings, faster speeds, no downtime).
