Irish Broadband Breeze 3Mb (up and down) wireless.
No probs at all over 2 years. No cap either.
They don't do this plan anymore so the closest is Breeze 4Mb for €55pm.

Smart. 8MB for €40 a month and never had a problem in 3 years.

NTL 10mb at €30 per month I believe. Wouldnt mind having the 20mb connection but 10mb is still doing a lovely job

I was have an Ice Broadband and it's like ****! Now I have NTL 10Mb - cost 37pm ( Y can take only broadband) Pings are low. Best option VALUE--->PRICE

Yea, me too for the last 14 months and it's a top notch service. They're upping it to 9Mb in June as a restructuring of their products. Total bill is €56/month including vat etc.

doesnt really work with the 360, you'd have to run the modem on a laptop/desktop and connect the 360 to it, as the modem is not compatible with 360's and the speed is ****e anyway. avoid.


i'm on BT option 2, 3meg line 30 gig cap, seldom have any problems

Karmafaerie

20 mb UPC.
Never a problem.

Do you download much? With Eircom it's practically unlimited as long as there isn't about 20 downloaders taking the complete piss.
I'm regularly downloading 200-300GB a month on 7mb line. Not a word from Eircom.
The boss is on 20meg and he's limited to 30GB a month. For me I'd much prefer the leeway with Eircom than BT's 20MB...

thanks

I primarily use my 4mb IBB Breeze yoke. I get great service in my area (I dont think there are many other customers around)

I also have a 3mb BT line too however its configured for a home office so the NAT is strict so I dont use it no more.

Regardless of which service i use however I get ping of 130ms.

There should be the option on your router, Google the address of your brand. It is usually something like:

192.168.2.1
or
192.168.1.1
