    Apologies if this has been asked before, I have done a quick search and didn't find it. I'm in D16 and looking for a broadband service of minimum 3MG, not too interested in home phone if I have to pay for it. I have looked at prices of UPC, Imagine, Eircom, Perlico and 3 and it looks to me like the cheapest would be UPC with a 3M service for 22euros per month and 30gig max download per month. Next best is the mobile from 3 which is 19.99 a month but download is capped at 15Gig per month. Any other companies out there or am I missing something? From looking on this forum it seems like UPC is quite popular here.

    Any ideas appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    UPC is €28 for the 3mb package if you don't get tv from them. But it's still infinitely better than 3's package.

    The Mobile* is 50Kbps (0.05Mbps) upto 6Mbps with NO guarantee of a connection. No mobile package is comparable to real Broadband. Even 1Mbps real Broadband is better than ANY Mobile package from the Phone companies. It's only a "piggy back" protocol on the Mobile Phone Network.

    Go with UPC, Digiweb Metro or IBB/Imagine Breeze if you want to save on phone line rental.


    *Contrary to totally misleading advertising "3" has no broadband system. They only have a 3G Mobile Phone licence with ability to run data connections on it.
