bbnet broadband

hi everyone
just wondering if anyone has experience of bbnet home broadband packages in the sixmilebridge village area?

Hi Cookie

I just saw your post on my thread there.

BB net would only really be midband not broadband. Its sent via the radio waves not wired. Wired is usually better. E.G Vodafone or Eircom Home Broadband.

BBNet seem to be fixed wireless, providing up to 100MB broadband ..... hardly midband?

hubby wants to play playstation online (sad i know) will that work?

willow tree

im not sure.. mr tree plays snooker games which wouldnt need much memory so im not sure about playstation games..it would be worth talking to them, i found then fairly honest as to what we'd be able to get from out package...hth:)

Willow - What package are you on?

Plus could you go to www.speedtest.com and give us your speeds vs your package.

For playstaion Cookie you would need about a minimum of 2mb download and about 1mb upload.

Do a speedtest @ www.speedtest.com and show us your results compared to what you pay for if you can, it would be great.

Decided to go with BBNet.

Speeds and prices look good and customer service has been good so far.

Hope to have it installed next week and will post back on results.

willow tree

hope it works out well for you. i tried doing a speedtest for you but i couldn't for some reason. but mrtree has done them and they are normally fast (when it wasn't i rang bbnet and they have sorted it out)..
