Looking for a D8 Provider

    Hi All,

    Recently moved into a new apartment. Up to now I've been enjoying using ntl as my service provider.

    On moving in we discovered that there is an ntl analogue TV feed already there so we don't want to go to ntl looking for broadband as then we'd have to pay for the TV feed.

    There's no land line so can anyone recommend who is the best wireless provider in D8, near the Liffey? Not too keen on looking at 3 or 02 as we have a desktop and laptop and use a wireless router and you can't plug either of these USB jobbies into it.

    Any advice greatly appreciated!!

    Vodafone have good 3G coverage if you are going to 3G, plus for any use the follow to share the connection.

    Thanks again BOFH. I probably sound really picky but that piece of kit is about 200 blips and we already have a router for the laptop.

    Not sure if Digiweb or IBB provide coverage in your area. I know that for a long time there was a lot of negative coverage about IBB, but I haven't heard too much lately.

    AFAIK both of them do. Was just wondering if anyone would recommend one over the other.

    From what I can gather the options are IBB, Digiweb and Clearwire. Although after reading all the negative stuff about Clearwire here I'll be avoiding that one!

    The poll at the top of this page seems to indicate that most are happy with IBB wireless, although there's a question over possible throttling.

    Sorry I can't help any more. I'm with Smart which you say is not an option. A pity really - it's the dog's danglies!

    Thanks for that.

    Yeah we don't have a landline and as we're only in for 1 year don't fancy getting one.

    If I hadn't read the Poll I'd have jumped at Clearwire given the 25:1 C.R. IBB is out at 40:1.

    What to do, what to do!!!!

    I might end up flipping a coin.
