    I am thinking of changing over to Smart telecom from eircom for phone and broadband. I will save over €20 a month and I will get 5 meg speed instead of 2. Has anyone got expierence of this service and if it is worth it?
    I tried changing about 3 years ago but had to change phone number and there would be about 3 week break in service, so I gave it a miss as I couldn't be doing with the hassell. They tell me this has changed now. Is this true?

    Yes (No?) you do not have to change your number anymore.
    Great ISP. Rock solid speeds.

    Don't know about the current delay, eircom tend to drag things out a bit, but it's absolutely worth the wait. You'll wonder why more people don't switch.

    I currently have a 6Mb line from Smart......perfect service.
    Speed tests average @ about 6.25Mb, you cant ask for anything better.

    I have had Smart for four years without any problems whatsoever apart from the change phone number hassle at the start, but it has been well worth it.

    No I don't.
    I'm a customer of theirs and have recommended them to many.
    From April they are increasing their upload speeds and upgrading the existing packages.

    Thanks everyone for all your replys, it was intersting to hear everyone's point of view. I have to say I went with Chorus in the end. The price was the best, have it installed and so far so good
