Can I type in my phone number and see what internet providers exist?

    No, but you could try the likes of www.getbroadband.ie or www.callcosts.ie

    At least there are links to the various provider's websites so it's a matter of checking each one to see if a service is available in your area. Some of the individual sites have line checkers, but not as detailed as to tell you what speeds to expect - just whether or not your line is capable of receiving broadband or not.

    Also some areas have better broadband option than DSL over phone line.

    Really you need to contact all ISPs

    The official sites are years out of date.

    Yeah as I thought.

    Those 2 websites are pretty useless. Typical Irish websites.

    I typed in 2 different locations and apparently there are no broadband packages available, which is untrue. I have already had the O2 wireless dongle out on trial and it worked fine.
