    Hi All

    I currently have BT Broadband and let me tell you, IT IS SO BAD! At this point I think i would be better of getting clearwire again. I have spent most of the night hitting F5 again and again and again on the various sites for the other ISP's on the market with special emphasis on UPC 30MB Smart 24MB and Magnet 24MB.

    Now by the time my crappy BT broadband managed to let me get into one of the sites there customer care was shut down.
    I'm living in a rented house and the landlord had problems with the previous tennents and is a bit hands on with the place so took the broadband bill into his own name.

    I have asked him to cancel the contract with BT as they are not providing any form of service. there charging about 46euro inc line rental for 3MB BB. I would perfer to switch provider but the landlord insists that we make sure that the phone watch is able to connect to the phone line.

    Does anyone have any recommendations or experience with this. Is there any ISP I should be looking at in order to keep Phonewatch operable and change over with the greatest of ease

    You can get a GSM module for the phonewatch system that removes the need to have a phone line in the house.

    AFAIK it costs around €150, but you'll make that back in 5-6 months of not paying line rental.

    hi i install for phonewatch. you can get a splitter which doesnt allow the broadband through the alarm. they are 50e to buy and it also ensures that your alarm has a clean phone line going to it which is essential for the alarm to dial the monitoring numbers. broadband can effect it. i would advise that you get your splitter fitted, for both your broadband and alarm,
