    Hi all,

    I just moved to Dublin from sweden where I was enjoying a 10MB syncronous connection. I have taken a look at whats available and it seems that the closest I can get to a decent connection is irish broadbands 2mb sync service (anything faster is just obcenly expensive). I have also heard a lot of negative comments about IBB level/quality of service. So, does anyone have any tips on where I should look? I really _must_ have a syncronous service or as close to it as possible.

    Your advice is gratfully received! :)

    ahahahahahhahahhahah :D:)

    Smart is 6mb/512 at the moment and I also hear NTL will be 10mb

    You cannot hope for service/prices/blonde females speed to match your native Sweden though

    Depends on what area. If you can get NTL go with that. Probably best service/most reasonably priced you'll get. Other wise try smart or magnet.

    All I really want is a symetric service, I don't care if it's 512k.. does anyone offer that? (other than IBB).. incedently, I sent them an enquiry email 2 weeks ago with a basic question about whether they supply more ip adresses if I want or not which I still have not got a reply about!
