    hi lads!
    i have a question for ye here.this is my story:)
    i've moved into my new house about a year ago.wanted to take my chorus broadband with me but....when the engineer came in to try and do it,he said that he'll have to lift my beautiful wooden floor.its a bit weird coz nobody else on the street has had the same problem.
    anyway,i got the wireless digiweb package.im not happy with it coz the cap is too low.thought about switching to IBB but the lads told me it wasnt great.so now im thinking....digiweb have installed an antenna on my roof and now i have a phone in me house.can i use this as a landline for eircom?:confused:

    No you will need to get an Eircom landline into your house to make use of Eircom broadband. You will then have to pay line rental too, it might work out very pricey.

    I doubt it very much that there would be one with a cap of 200 gb. Which broadband providers have you tried? Would you not just get the wodden floor taken up and put back down, or would there be a way of getting around doing that? UPC would be good to go with, i was going to go with them myself but they weren't in my area. Have Eircom now and am very happy with it.
