    check out irish broadband. you may be just outisde the coverage for their ripwave product, which is 18.95 a month. check out their website, you can prob get their breeze product.

    used them in the past, never had problems, found it a good service.

    You don't want Ripwave. Trust me on this.

    I've never had it, but since it came out I've seen people feed back about it on the IrelandOffline and Broadband forums here on Boards.ie, and in several other locations, and the vast majority of it has been negative.

    The breeze product is absolutely appalling. I've used it myself and known 4 people at work who reported the same issue - it works fine for a month or two, then the subnet you're on starts to fill up and performance drops. You complain when it gets to the point of behaving like a dialup connection, and after a couple of months of their incompetent helpdesk failing to understand the problem, the one engineer they have who knows what he's doing moves you to another subnet. Where the whole bloody mess starts over again.

    Steer well clear unless people in your immediate area can confirm it works ok for them, I'd say. (The broadband forum had a 19 page thread of people detailing their complaints against IBB)

    FWIW, I've been using Digiweb's Metro plan for the last 3 weeks and so far so good.

    Na na na na, na na na na, Cripwave!
    ...which, surprisingly, actually works for me. God only knows why.
