    ok im getting fed up of BT atm, constant line problems, really really slow speeds, awful pings.

    Just seen the upc/ntl 20mb package for 40 euro a month, whats the story with ntl nowadays? are they better than BT or what?
    I can get smart too but they only have upto 15mb and their upload is only 512kb.

    Most NTL users have a solid connection but going by the posts here there seem to be pockets of areas suceptible to problems such as parts of Dublin 15 and Waterford.

    NTL are infinitely better than BT or any dsl reseller (except maybe smart) and I haven't hear of any problems in the castleknock area, only dublin1 but that seems to have been fixed. 20mb without a cap, 1.5mb upload, no line rental vs 3mb expensive, throttling(if you exceed cap) BT. What are you waiting for?

    I can't understand that. 10Mbps from UPC is faster and cheaper than Eircom's highest package. Would you not be better with them anyway? :confused:
