    Irishbroadband adsl is terrible for me. Unusable from 5 to 12 the majority of the time and custom support is terrible. Just give excuse after excuse saying theres no problem with it.

    Had 3Mb BT and it was great, till a few months ago. Got lots of DNS issues, disconnects and slower speeds.

    Have O2 mobile and it's fine. Works all day for me and in various locations. Just don't expect too much from it and don't delude yourself into thinking it's actual broadband. It was never designed for home use, it's just unfortunate that a lot of people in Ireland have no other choice.

    I have Smart DSL now too. That's as good as it gets.

    Enda.

    People like you who evidently cannot use the search function or are too lazy to read FAQs obviously should be a customer of 3 or Clearwire.

    Please     lock this thread mods, otherwise we will get something like this every day .

    Whats this then? Another lazy hack hoping everyone else will do their research for them?

    Use the search function as suggested already.
