    I've Eircom.

    A sales rep from IBB keeps emailing and calling pestering me to transfer over to them.

    I use broadband 24/7 for the work I do and I told him that if I switch then there could be zero downtime. I also told him they would have to match my daily rate if there was any downtime during the switch. I don't know if I'll go with them, the risk might be too high!
    what do you think?

    Although he worded it a bit weird I think he is asking the question is the downtime the rep has said true or otherwise.

    Ask a question and perhaps I can give you an answer. I don't see a single question mark in your posts, nor do I see anything that is phrased as a question, but missing that mark.

    Edit: Oh you've added a question mark, fantastic.

    Switching DSL providers generally includes lots of downtime. Up to a month maybe more, going on reports in here.

    Maybe they have a stop gap whereby they give you a lend of their broadband box things- Ripwave that has crap speeds (this is an assumption I am making). If this is the case (ask them) then you need to see if you can handle the bad speeds it offers for a month.

    IBB send you a transfer form from whatever ISP you have, you then post it to them, they give you a date when your line will be enabled, transferred in 5 mins., used same modem just put in their password etc.

    Oh really? Cool, I think the month I was refering to was for unbundeling the line in order to move off the Eircom network. Yeah, sounds right.

    I think the other user was reffering to a bitstream product and not the unbundled line. I imagine eircom make it very annoying to switch to an unbundled line.
