    Hey,I am moving to Cork next month, and would like to get internet at home.
    Could anybody help me with this thing?I've got a "small" problem with the acommodation...Here it comes:

    - I don't care about speed/bandwidth (just for email,msn...)
    - I can't sign up longer than 3 months
    - Now the crappy one...I'll probably be switching apartment in the second month.

    Well,I've been checking out some websites but haven't found anything.I was looking for some kinda wireless connection, but the providers don't say anything about whether I could change "that thing they set up on your roof" (the wifi receptor or kinda) to the other apartment or not...
    Does someone know of any other way (TV,Wifi...)? I got broadband by the coaxial television socket in Holland.

    So far I've thought to get the eircom hotspot subscription for €12,10/month.But, I don't feel like walking everyday to any of those hotspot places...so please help me out! any advice?

    Thanks!
    btw:could any moderator please move this post to "broadband"? sorry... ;)

    i am with UTV and there is no minimum contract, but there is a fee for ending before 6 months, best thing for you to do is if you have a laptop, then use the free wireless networks around the city. One in the airport, also most MacD's have one. and get something when you find a gaff your going to stay at for a while

    Thats called a Min Contract.. you can end with every isp and they will charge you a fee for leaving early.

    Btw this should be in Broadband...
