I have narrowed down siro to Digiweb or pure telecom but are about the same on price. Anyone with either of these two and how has the service been?

I hadn't heard of it before. Just wondering does anyone know if we could get it installed even though our ESB connection comes from the main house? So we don't have our own connection. We just pay them for whatever electricity we use. Ideally we want to get a separate broadband connection and avoid involving them in this as much as possible. Any advice would be much appreciated. The Pure sales guy said it was possible, but I'm sure they (like Eir) would say anything to get the sale.

Yoga7 wrote: » Thanks for the response. When you refer to the ESB box in their house, what exactly do you mean? We have our own meter box here. Could it not be connected via that? The wait times for someone to come out are so long at the moment and given what we have just been through with Eir, I am reluctant to place the order for Siro without knowing whether it will be possible or not.

SIRO will soon be available at your address" to it actually being available to buy? I got the email back in early May but the siro website and airwire still says its unavailable at the address.
SchrodingersCat wrote: » Just to answer my own question: I saw the TLI group vans out on my road working on the SIRO cables last week. These are the sub-contracted engineers that work for SIRO. After having a chat with them, they said that they would be handing over the infrastructure on the street to SIRO next month. I know from someone else who saw the TLI engineers in their estate that the broadband became available about 1-2 months after they left. So it is looking like it will be Jan-Feb when SIRO will become available on my street. This would make it 9-10 months after I received the email that said "SIRO will be coming to your address soon". I am not complaining, I will be delighted to receive it. Just in case anyone else was wondering how long it can take.
