    depends on what you mean by good and bad.

    Eircom are probably the most reliable. Esat business is probably the best package and netsource is the cheapest uncapped product.


    Edit: Sorry, just noticed that you specified ping in the poll.

    Esat business has the lowest ping. All the radsl packages (eircom, iol, ns) should have the same ping as esat business but from what ive seen only the eircom one is stable.

    NS seems to be hit and miss depending on your exchange, the time of day and whether the month has an A in its name. IOL not sure about but ive seen some complaints about spiking.

    I was just cursious to see what different ppl think of the service provider they are signed up to. i've read that some ppl think eircom's is best but i suppose the poll's result will show it.

    Good/Bad is a bit broad for a provider is a bit vague. 3 or 5 options would be better,

    Netsource provide the crappiest service in my opinion, the connection has been a load of crap for 7 out of the 9 weeks i've been with them and most annoying of all its more expensive maybe a cap wouldn't be so bad after all:mad:
