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.

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.

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
