    Time to get ADSL, just wondering which provider is generally recognised as providing the best service?

    There don't seem to be any recent threads here discussing that, apologies if this is a too faq.

    Nobody's going to say eircom.

    Nothing personal, but this belongs in Broadband. There's also an FAQ on that forum :)

    From another thread
    Ozmo:
    So far I've tried UTV Clicksliver, Netsource Solo and in December moved to Eircom IStream. I said I'd never go to Eircom - but had to because the other networks just werent up to standard.

    I have to agree, eircom's DSL is the best. The other Isp's are not upto standard except maybe IOL, but I've seen that working and it was not as fast as my eircom connection.

    Cap is $hite, but its not that restrictive

    I'd prefer to go with UTV to support the underdog (plus they are the cheapest). Any UTV users care to comment on download speeds, ping times, reliability?

    Download speeds = great
    Reliability = great
    Ping Times = ,,, well heres the thing , atm they are okish , playable with , but compared to other posts I have read here , they don't make the grade . Add to this the fact that UTV seem to have no interest what so ever in trying to rectify or even address this . ( maybe they are unable to do so ) .
