    Hi,

    I'm looking at getting a fixed BB line, and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to the best provider between say, Eircom, Smart and BT, possibly UPC, but I think they are still unavailable in my area (Oranmore).

    There are phone sockets inthe house, but as far as I'm aware, no active phone line, so I'd need that. I see, for example, Eircom offer 'free connection' and 'line rental' with their package, does that mean that the cost I pay is literally just for the BB itself i.e 49.99 a month or whatever? For example, I was looking at this:

    http://www.eircom.ie/cgi-bin/bvsm/bv...iends&site=Res

    Say if I didn't want a phoneline, just BB itself, then I'd have to pay a once off connection fee right and line rental? Is that all there is to it? As if I could just do that, in the long run would it be much cheaper to just pay the connection fee/line rental and then go with BB itself like below? How much would line rental be monthly? See that the one below has free connection too...

    http://www.eircom.ie/cgi-bin/bvsm/bv...nline&site=Res

    Basically wondering if 3Mb BB+Line rental is less then buying the 3mb bundle for 49.99 monthly...thanks very much.

    Also looking at smart telecom, decent prices - assume I'd have to pay eircom connection free to be able to buy their BB products?

    List here, saying for example the 5MB line for 41.97? Would there just be the once off connection free then from eircom to activate the phone line and then 41 per month from then on?

    I have Airwire at the moment and it's atrocious, even though they have a normally decent rep. On a 2/2 line we get about 1.1/.010 most days, gaming or anything latency dependent is unusable.
