Hi guys, this is my first post on boards.ie!
Im moving into new home in moyglare hall, Maynooth. The houses are only 1 year old so the only line the houses have been installed with are eircom. Ntl:chorus would have been my first choice for broadband so i contacted them and was told they are currently upgrading the lines in the area but have no definite date as to when the work will be done.
So Iv been looking for an alternative to eircom because I would consider eircom a last resort if all else fails.
I was considering ICE before reading on one of the threads here on the boards that they are a disaster and maynooth is already overpopulated with unhappy ICE users.
Being a gamer I am looking for something fast probably 3 megs with a decent contention ratio and not too pricey.
I recently visited the zone broadband website and all looks good bar the contention which is 30:1 but it could be worse I suppose.Its reasonably priced at 59.99 per month with 2mbps/720kbps.
The only problem is I have never heard of anyone who has it and I havent seen it recommended here on boards. So if anyone has it or knows anyone who has it I would really appreciate a heads up on this one.
Or if anyone can recommend a good broadband connection for the Maynooth area with my requirements in mind I would greatly appreciate that also!
Cheers,
Sadista
