Smart Telecom

Sean-Tom · 2009-06-11 14:19:05

Hi guys I live south of galway and am currently receiving very slow eircom broadband. I was wondering about smart telecom as they seem fast, cheap and reliable. How do they operate as they say they don't have a contention ratio? Do they operate via a normal phone line ie. would I be able to get it just like eircom? Thanks…

Normal phone line, but you need to live in an area covered by one of their unbundled exchanges
check your number in here:

No contention, No DL limit. I think they have a pretty good rep here on boards.
