    I have been looking at my download limit and i go well over it.

    So i think i may change from eircom to one of the others.

    As i can only get dsl in my area, i am on a 7Mb broadband & eircom talktime family now.
    Smarts site says i can get there Nationwide Bit stream products, that the eircom line right but the speeds they give for it are up to 24 on this line its cheaper on their own lines but i cant get anything from those

    what can anyone tell me about the Broadband & Anytime Call Bundle at 9Mb is €2 cheaper than the 7Mb broadband & eircom talktime family

    also when its a eircom line how low will i be waiting for repairs if anything happens after telling smart

    If your only concern is downloading then there is no reason at the moment to leave Eircom. There have been no reports on here of Eircom hassling downloaders to date.

    i get around 200gb over so that about €2000 in charges
    1c for 1 mb over so €10.24 for 1gb

    i have only been with eircom for since june can i change or will have to wait

    like i ask do smart customers need to wait longer for eircom to fix lines.

    eircom's contract is usually 12 months, so there's nothing you can do about it until next year.
