    Their cheaper packages are just download accelerator for the phoneline.

    Professional, reliable 2 way Internet via Satellite is closer to 100 Eur a month, and available everywhere. Did you ring Digiweb or just check the website?

    You can end up getting dialup speeds or even no connection as Mobile Phone Company broadband gets more used (O2, 3, Vodaphone). All three use the same technology and modems.

    Hey sorry for delay wasn't online.. Yes it is but.. They only do internet on the condition that you get cable form them as well.. And this comes to 80 euro a month.. We already have Sky set up on a direct debit so this would be alot of hassle for house mates etc.. wouldnt really be fair giving them less channels for more more per month..

    Try O2 and then Vodafone. O2 are supposed to be pretty decent (7 day trial so bring it back promptly if it isn't as good as you want it to be).

    I'd also recommend looking for fixed wireless operators in your area if you've not already because they'd be better than satellite operators although post here so people can tell you about experiences.
