What broadband provider is best?

Bananna man

Hi,

My sister was asking me where she should go to get her broadband. I have been using ESAT (iol broadband) and have had no problems so far. My dad has been using eircom and this has been a disaster from the start (its working now but at only 1/3 the speed we paid for).

I would recommend ESAT but she say's that they are more expensive than alot of the other one's. Can someone recommend one that is cheap but reliable?

Thanks

Thats wrong....they are the cheapest eircom bitstream reseller around.

Only LLU would be cheaper if you are in their area that it!
