    Hi Guys

    In the process of ordering Smart - well one of the guys is as he is moving in and had smart in his other place ( I had NTL but thats getting the bullet ).

    Anyway he rang for pricing but he forgot to ask if the prices include VAT.

    The girl said 6 Meg is 49.99, 7 Meg is 54.99 and they dont do 8 which I was suprised to hear since Im fairly sure people on here have mentioned 8 Meg in the past with Smart

    Anyway, anyone know if those prices are ex Vat or including Vat and also anyone on Smart with 8 meg, never heard anyone mention 7 before?

    Cheers JB

    Edit: Just checked the Smart Site - have they dropped the standard line back to 3Meg - wasnt it 4? They now say is 40 for a 3 Meg line and an extra 5 to go up 2 meg (which is 5 for 45), and now 50 for 6 - seems like a price increase has occured. Fairly sure when I checked recently it was 45 for 6 Meg)

    Yes, their prices do include VAT and should also include the line rental.

    Smart have recently changed their packages - the 4MB has dropped to 3MB. Possibly due to there being so many people having lines not capable of anything over 3MB. Or being cynical, just plain cost cutting

    They have also reduced the speeds of the other packages - 6 -> 5 and 8 -> 7

    It would appear that existing customers are staying as they are. I'm still on 8

    I am currently on their 6MB package for €44.99 p/m. I took advantage of an on-line offer to up-grade by 2MB's for an additional €5.

    I am very happy with the service from ST.
