    I am with eircom at present with a 2mb line with 20gb d/load, i have d/loading 25-30gb a month with eircom, and thats holding back!!!!
    Unfortunitly i aint in a SMART TELECOM area (bayside)
    So what have i got guys..... i think that i would need a 100gb allowance, 2mb min speed...............do i have ANY reasonbly priced option!???
    i heard the end of a ad on the radioo a few days back , and they mentioned 10mb lines, but i didnt hear it again or i never caught the provider!!!

    no.

    The D/L allowance may be increased in January along with the line speed, but it aint gonna increase to 100gb.

    Maybe have a look at the business packages and try to take advantage of the fact that eircom are currently ignoring the D/L allowance.

    Is NTL available in your area? They are rumoured to be upgrading to 10 meg in January. They do not charge for breaking the cap. Even if they did it is currently 40GB.

    @irishpimpdude
    Well thanks for that reassuring pic, i might stretch them a bit more, buts what i reckon i need about 100gb a month.
    At precent i have moved froma standard eircom package to a Business starter package at 42euro a month with 2mb/20gb, after 6 months they want 65euro a month!
