broadband only.

Charlie George

Looking to get rid of my landline as its seldom used,what is best place to get broadband only,or broadband with satilite tv.

UPC - uses cable for internet, also gives the best speeds.

Any DSL offering needs telephone landline for internet.

Mobile Internet - avoid, is slow and unreliable.

You can get it cheaper than that if you are a bill pay mobile customer with them,I have that package for €25 a month.You need to ask cs as it's not advertised and sign up to a minimum 18 month contract.

That includes a rental cost for phone line which a lot of people don't use.

UPC is using Its UPC cable (not phone line) for phone calls.

And as can be seen there i think its best option when compare:
Speed
Monthly allowance
Price

Its all about what you need, if you just go google once or twice a day then a cheap mobile broadband maybe is better as it will cost less. (for me to sloow)

What I mean is that Bonkers.ie doesn't allow you to price Broadband only (excluding a phone charge).

As mentioned above, you can get it as low as €25 pm with Vodafone. Their download is 70 MB, which is much faster than most people need, never mind UPC's 120 MB which even fewer will need. Vodafone's upload is faster if I recall correctly.

Taking everything into account I'd stiil go with UPC for broadband.

They don't do broadband only any more - the phone is included. I know you don't want a phone but you don't have to use it. The basic Fibre Chat 50 is excellent value for 50Mb down 5Mb up unlimited for €37 per month. Freetime World included in price which covers offpeak calls plus 400 mins to international landlines. The new phone app allows you to use your phone allowance on your smartphone (4 devices using WiFi can use anywhere in the world which is handy if you have kids/family abroad even if it's just to call home number free).

If you're a new UPC customer you'd get that for €25 for first 6 months.

It's hard to beat UPC for broadband quality.

If I remember good, adding the cheapest phone plan to the UPC will make monthly bill lower, as they have some charge if you wanna go just for the broadband.

Hire you can find some Vodafone broadband reviews:

That's a gimic. The cost IS included, as they are charged by Eircom for the landline rental.

That's why Vodafone can charge as low as €25 pm where the landline rental is stripped out.

I have my UPC from about 10 month and dont know what line rental your talking about. All, my phone and Brodband is connected to the UPC box only, nothing here is involving phone line.
