    About fookin' time! I live in the Knockboy exchange area & BB has only become availabe in the last couple of weeks! Now the question is who's offering the best service??

    I'm tied up with Digiweb till Feb but gonna drop them like a hot potatoe after that, 'broadband' from them is crap.

    If you've already got NTL then it's the only job. 1 Meg - €25 per month.
    Even the BT offer of €35 pm for BB and line rental goes up to €50 after 3 months. And the ntl one does what it says on the tin - no ifs, buts, or maybes..... :D

    @ Marcopolo85 I'm sold man! Can't wait till Feb so! Do u have NTL's 1 Meg BB? If so what's it like? Fast & the Furious I'll bet, not like this sh*t I'm getting from Digiweb, it's only slightly better than dialup for €35 per month, fooking robbers!

    & yes I do already have NTL (for the T.V.) so as I said roll on Feb!

    Thanks for the link too, what a deal :)

    Or does anybody else know of a better offer? (The more BB competition the better for us customers b4 we part with our hard earned cash)!

    Peace.

    You're well away then Tanabe. Yep - I've got the 1 Meg. Constantly clocks at 977/97. Sometimes hits 1 Meg. I can't complain at all. :D:D:D

    35 euro a month for 2mb is the same as NTL, the only difference is there is no stated cap with Smart, but they still reserve the right to contact you if you go to town on it....which is basically what NTL do aswell, even though its a 30gb cap, its a soft cap with no financial penalties, you need to excessively and repeatedly go over that before they even contact you - let alone cut you off. I think thats pretty fair, considering how good the service is : download speed always between 180-300kbps, never had a disconnection, got the broadbad active in less than a week, first three months free etc...
    And think of the future, Smart are kinda rocky right now, and the NTL cable connection is capable of speeds of 10mb and more if they wanted to provide that service.

    Cool It sounds like a good competiter to smart,but I have to say that we had dealingss with NTL in the pastwhen i lived in Dublin and their custumer service was appalling how do you find it ?
