    I haven't used them myself (been meaning to switch but I don't fancy the downtime) but they are meant to be brilliant. Great speeds, no contention, no download limits and a very good support forum on their site.

    Not in Sligo myself (in Letterkenny), but have been using Smart for the past 2 years or more. I've found it to be a fantastic service and great value compared to other offerings. I've had very little downtime over the duration, and as mentioned, the support forums are handy should you have any problem.

    The downtime during switchover is worth it IMO.

    I think the prices on the website (http://www.smarttelecom.ie/residential_package.html) include a calls package that costs €10. I'm pretty sure you can get it without the calls package saving that €10 (so 4Mb will be €15 and so on).

    Yes, you can use your own modem & router.

    You should get a ADSL2+ one as this is the technology used by Smart
