    Hi ,

    I know there was a thread on Broadband in Kilkenny but can't find it
    @ present am on chorus and its 35.00 a month ( says 29.99 on website but apparently because I don't have the tv service)

    I am just wondering is there cheaper ?

    I was looking at digiweb maybe , but would like peoples personal experience

    Am in city/ johnswell road area

    cheers

    UTV Clicksilver

    3mb connection

    €32.99 with there phone service
    €36.99 with out there phone service

    €5 extra for unlimited download:)

    or There basic package

    €9.99 per month for the first 3 months then €15.99 always on connection

    Includes half price line rental for 3 months
    when you take UTV Talk

    * Download speeds of up to 1Mb2
    * 6Gb Download Limit3
    * €29.99 connection fee and FREE USB/Ethernet modem

    Being with them 3 years now and no problems had a eircom rep on the phone the other day and asked if if he could match their top package and he said with the unlimited download 3MB it would cost €151 per month. Guess I'll stick with UTV here's the link http://u.tv/UTV_Internet/Residential/ClicksilverBroadband/index.asp?ROIUser=true

    I'm using UTV as well, on their older slightly cheaper 2Mb deal with the €5 unlimited option :)

    If you don't have a fixed line though Digiweb would be worth a shot. I think their 3Mb metro service is available in town.

    I use Eircom 2MB BB, costs me (w/ phone calls, not including line rental) in or around €70 every two months. There's not much activity on the phone calls though....
    Service is a+ as is the lack of any issues with them.

    no landline

    took it out because never used for phone

    seems chorus price is ok


    I don't understand what digiweb mean by " free phone calls" if no line is needed - some version voip i GUESS ?

    Yeah, similar to what Blueface do. They give you phone service with a proper phone number over your bb connection.

    thanks for that steven

    might go with digiweb but when i click on their 29.99 service and pick kilkenny it switches to 39.99, very odd


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,484 ✭✭✭✭Stephen


    That's bizarre alright, its doing the same for me. 2Mb price going to 39.99, but 3Mb for €35???

    When utv say unlimited do they really mean unlimited, or is there a limit but its quite high?

    Unlimited means unlimited no cap.

    They will however throttle your speed during peak hours if you take the piss.
