    Just want to know do you need to be renting a phone line in order to a broadband trial?

    You only need it for DSL. Wireless, satellite and cable internet don't use a phone line

    You most certainly would yes. You can't get DSL without a phone line.

    who does a free satellite trial and do you need a phone line for that as well?

    Unfortnately satellite as i hear is expecially expensive. Wireless BB like Irish broadband is probably better. Avoid Digiweb as i've heard some nasty things about their service. :mad:

    You'll still need a telephone line for upward traffic.

    If thats the case then whats the point in getting it. (Unless of course you trave around europe frequently)

    Would you like to go into more details as regards Digiweb. I am on Digiweb wireless here in Waterford and to be quiet honest I find it pretty good. Granted when the service started there were teething problems, but what company doesn’t have teething problems @ startup
