    Alright, so I moved to new house near Prospect Hill, I'll share the house with few students. Unfortunately they will move in half or end of September. I have no doubt that they would be interested in internet but I don't have too much of patience and need the internet now! I just realized how hard life is without that small cable..:p

    Is there any option for me to have the internet for 1 month only? Do I really have to sign a 6-months contract?

    Would you not just get the service switched over to the new house when you move? As far as I know you to sign a contract unless a provider offers a 30 day trial :)

    i dont think any of them do a trial to be honest,
    make more money the other way..

    Try one of them 3G from o2 or vodafone or whatever. After 1 month give it back again (read contract first to see it can be done)

    Not off hand, I'd have to do my homework.

    take a look at the 3G monthly plan but as already suggested make sure to read the contract first.

    o2 seem to offer a 30day trial, could call into a shop and ask for the details. Just tell them you're not too sure if you'll get coverage so want to try it out first

    Do you have a laptop? If so, the internet cafe down at the bottom of Eyre Square (not sure the name, but they sell tickets to the Aran Islands and stuff) has free WiFi, although they might say something if you kept going in without even buying a coffee!

    I've been in O2, they said that there's 30 days of trial. All I have to do is to sign a contract and pay €79 for USB modem. If I won't be happy enough, they'll cancel the contract and give me all money back. Otherwise it's €19,90 a month for 3mb (upgrade to 7mb soon).

    Sounds good for me.
