    Any suggestion's???

    I'm looking to get broadband, over a phone line; I am out of range for Irish Broadband and dont' recieve cable. I live in Skerries and would say I am a moderate internet user.

    So far Esat seem to be the best deal, has anyone any other suggestion's?

    Smart 2mb + free line rental = €35

    However it has only limited availability.

    Otherwise BT (Esat) is your best bet.

    I had my eye on ntl:. Would this be a bad choice? Everyone here seems to be using BT.

    As long as your not in D15, then NTL is the best BB service in Ireland IMO.

    I have had DSL in the past and NTL is much more stable, with very low latency and no down time (touch wood). Also I've found NTL CS and slaes staff to be excellent!!!

    I highly recommend it and also it has more room then DSL to expand in the future.

    wtf, you sure your on to the right number?

    (btw I am in D15 with NTL)

    Resilliance, signal is good to your area and cable to your house are fine!

    Give'em a lash! I've NTL but its been up and down in my area! Due to demand and NTL not keeping up with this!

    all in all a great product.
