    Ive read a lot of the stickys etc. and i reckon im gonna take the plunge and go broadband.
    im just wondering if any one has any recomendations.
    Id be updating sites a lot, downloading a good amount. Wouldnt really be playing games online but i might if a good game came along. Vast amounts of speed arent really needed. 256/512K downloads would be more than enough. I dont want a download cap, and if there is one its gotta be big , none of the 5/6 Gig business. im based near Dublin City centre.

    Anyone got anything in mind?

    Well if you dont want a cap then Irish Broadband are for you they are the wireless service people, but be careful there have been many copmlaints about there service levels..... If you want a fixed line connection UTV have a 8Gb Uploading cap and no downloading cap from what I hear you should go for them, I have ESAT IOLBB and I'm quite happy with it I've never passed my 8Gb cap.

    That's 8Gb downloading cap and no uploading cap, actually.

    The most reliable uncapped broadband service would be Esat Business (also most expensive of course). If you cant or dont want them then your gonna run into some problems wherever u go, wether from dload caps, poor speeds or other dodgy stuff.

    IBB would probably be a good choice seeing as you aint agamer.

    Netsourse basic package (SoHo) has a 16gb cap limit per month.

    Take a look at FatherDougle's post here. Looks lke the 8GB applies to both download and upload.

    The only problem with this is if you go over the cap at all, rather than charging you, they throttle your account so you can only download at 1kb/s. Plus, they no longer take residential custom, you have to be a business. Oh, and did I mention the fact that they charge €10 per month for a domain name?

    That post refers explicity to IOLBB. The statement you're following up to was UTV have a 8Gb Uploading cap and no downloading cap...
