    its in the title really.

    im moving out of my home (nice folks left it to me for a while when they moved country) where i have eircom 3mb.

    i use xbox live and torrents daily. i know im going to be restricted but im trying to find the best option..if push comes to shove..xbox live would be preferable to torrents.


    i have a fear that i will end up getting clearwire and might get a chance to view rte.ie now and again..

    It would help to know where you are moving to as some apartment blocks now come with broadband - Smart Telecom/Magnet/NTL etc

    Do you know whether there is a phone line which means that you could possibly get Eircom (or one of its resellers) etc

    well lets look at it like this..there will be no land line, so i have to try the wireless option.

    digiweb..irish broadband? which ones can support xbox live?

    Wireless is not necessarily your only option.
    Our apartment complex is wired for NTL cable broadband.
    Its fine for xbox-live or torrents (bizzarely upload speeds can exceed download speeds a lot of the time though). A 3Mb package with cable tv works out at about 110 bimonthly.
