Help me choose - UTV Vs Eircom

31-01-2008 11:57am#1Hi guys,
I am currently with UTV for my phone and as its only myself and my wife our phone bill is usually around €30 per month inc.
line rental.
Living in Celbridge, I'm getting broadband into the house using the landline and have narrowed my choice to either Eircom or UTV.
Eircom 2MB

* LINE rental included
* FREE wireless modem
* FREE exclusive online access to setanta sports
* FREE 1GB online storage
* Connection charge of €29.99
20 GB download / unlimited upload
TOTAL = €61
**************************************
UTV

FREE for the first 3 months then €20.99
LINE RENTAL & ANYTIME €32.35 - includes unlimited local and national calls Anytime (€6.99) and line rental (€25.36)
TOTAL MONTHLY PAYMENTS €32.35 per month for the first 3 months then €53.34 thereafter

USAGE 12GB download
UNLIMITED USAGE UNLIMTED usage FREE for first 3 months (€5.99 per month thereafter)

WIRELESS ROUTER
Wireless Router
The Voyager 2110 is a great wireless router – it has x1 USB port and x4 Ethernet ports. €39.99 upgrade fee.
€39.99 upgrade available during signup
Sorry a bit messy, basically UTV is €54 for:
2mb
12GB Download
UNLIMITED local and national calls anytime
Line rental included
No connection charge
Wireless router is €40 extra
You can pay an extra €5.99 FOR Unlimited per month with means you could get 2MB unlimited for €60.
Obviously the UTV package looks better but some of my work colleagues have eircom in the same area and they never have any issues. I have read some posts here about DNS issues with UTV etc. I really just want a hassle free broadband experience
I understand UTV have screwed several people before for exceeding their dowload limit, although this would not matter if I go unlimited. I hear Eircom aren't too strict on their bandwidth limits.
I will be using the connection nightly for video conferencing with possible VOIP later on and maybe some torrents Should I go unlimited for this stuff, would I use up a lot of bandwith using video?
The reason I'm skeptical about Eircom is that I hate their monopoly in this country and hate to think I'm helping them continue to grow! Don't know anyone using UTV in Celbridge though.
What is UTV's customer service/tech support like?
No idea about contention ratios for UTV or Eircom or contracts lenghts, can anyone help?
ANY comments and feedback appreciated.
