    I will be moving to the city centre in a week. I would like to have an access to the Internet with reasonable speed, but I wouldn't like to overpay for that.
    I mainly use Internet to check emails, browse WebPages, use skype, watch youtube. Sometimes I would also like to download a film. Can anyone help me and advise what would be the best solution for me?

    Sorry, far to vague a question to help much.

    First of all which city are you talking about, Dublin, Cork, Outer Mongolia? :D

    Second even at that lots of different providers are available in different places. Also will you have a telephone line, what about cable?

    Generally the top providers are (in no particular order):

    UPC (over cable TV)
    Magnet
    Smart
    BT 24mb/s service

    last three all over a telephone line, therefore line rental required.

    Check with each of them to see if they are available in your new home and check out the prices and speeds on their websites to decide if it suits you or not.
