    I see they can now introduce a Broadband Home ( not Home Plus) package above time and running at 1Mbit , it looks like they will charge €29.99 for it where BT ware charging €20 for the exact same package .

    The Eircom Broadband Business Starter package gets an extra meg in speed and 10 gigs more in cap compared to Broadband home professional even tho they are the same price when you include vat? thats kinda stupid both should be the same then

    I know I've asked this numerous times over the last week but does anyone know what the official new upload cap for Eircom Home Starter is? Is it now included in the 20G download limit?

    home starter is now called home plus and your upload cap is UNlimited

    If I upgrade for free to business Starter to avail of 4meg instead of 3meg and an extra 10gig cap will i suffer the poor high-interleved pings associated with the business packages, if so I wont bother upgrading?
