Is this too true to believe?

    It includes the eircom line rental charge and says uncongested! All for 30 euro...

    It is true, but it is only available in limited areas.

    However if you can get it, for an extra €5 this is a better deal:

    Did I miss mention of the line rental amount in that link?

    It seemed to me not to include the rental .....

    I checked my line there and it told me I was suitable for 'up to 24Mb' and also that I should get their sister company's (Digiweb) Bitstream package.

    I was not enamoured about being shunted off to another company (sister or not) but when I looked there I saw no mention of 'Bitstream' nor of the inclusive package I enquired about.

    Oh well ...... stay as I am for another while until something that makes it worthwhile to change happens along ....

    For €35 per month, it does include line rental.

    That is because you aren't connected to one of their Local Loop Unbundling (LLU) exchanges. So they are sending you off to their crap parent companies website, which offer awful packages.

    In which case you would be much better off with Vodafone.
