Shopping around - Digiweb FTTC - Any opinions on them?

    Our FTTC contract with eir is about to run out and I was just looking around at other alternatives. I've had no issues with eir, other than the usual impossibly difficult to reach customer care, but from a technical point of view it's worked as expected.

    We were with Sky previously and came back to Eir due to Sky's relatively poor backhaul. I found the connections were noticeably more contended and ping times were definitely worse. Eir's fine on both of those.

    I haven't heard wonderful things about Vodafone, but I was wondering about Digiweb as an alternative. Anyone any experience of them?
    The Fritzbox looks good, but is their ISP service good?

    Also their statement on FUPs and limits is quite confusing. Is the service actually unlimited or is it subject to a tight FUP?

    Also Siro's likely to become available in our area, so I'm not too keen to tie myself into another Eir contract.
