Broadworks & Blueface

poundboy

I am about to sign up to the Broadworks Broadband package.

Is anybody using Blueface on this service?

Does it work ok? - line quality etc.

Thanks.

I have Broadworks and after this experience I must say never more.
I have only broadband without cable TV.
It should be 2 Mb for 30 eur/month, 50 eur for instalation, unlimited, looks nice but:
-average speed if all is ok was never more that 120-130 kB/sec ( max 10 days in a month)
- ping was never lower that 60, if all is ok
-from time to time, e.g. 3 days in a row is speed 0-5 kB/sec, ping 2500-3000, that is for 10-15 days in a month
-in some days speed is between 0 and 100 kB/sec
-generally connection speed is very unreliable
-broadworks company doesn't have any contact email address
-broadworks doesn't have smtp server
-broadworks doesn't have any support or information on their home page (broadworks.ie or broadworks.tv)
-you can only call hot-line, and they will tell you somebody will call you ( they will, but in 1 month)

Broadworks smtp server is smtp.irishbroadband.ie
Use this and you will be able to send email from your eircom.net accounts
Hope this helps.
