    Depending on where you live different ISP's are good in some places and bad in others mainly due to either only have access to bitstream or bad backhauls from there POP's.

    If you're in a Magnet LLU area, get Magnet as there ADSL2 product is very very very very good if you've a half decent line.

    If your in a Smart ADSL2 LLU area you could look at that - I hear its quiet good too!

    Digiweb Metro is cheap but has CAP if you like your torrents!

    All depends on your requirements really, just browsing? Browsing and P2P? Gaming?

    I'll hijack this thread instead of making another if that's alright.

    I need to get rid of eircom, I'm paying for line rental and don't even have a fixed phone, Magnet look really good but they charge line rental as well, is my only choice UPC?

    From the wireless networks I can see from the surrounding apartments I see about 30 UPC users and 2 eircom and I'm one of those ericom users :D so UPC seems to be popular in my area anyway.
