    Hi guys,

    I was wondering what broadband is a good option in the Longford area.
    My mam is after getting herself a laptop and is mad to get onto the net.
    She is with Eircom at the moment and they are a bit more expensive than Perlico for broadband (€28 v €25 for the 3mb) (she has her free telephone allowance)

    For paying the extra few euro will Eircom be a better service provider or are Perlico just as good/bad?

    Thanks.

    Same situation here. My mam was looking for net. She was on Euphony but they dont do broadband. she wanted to keep all her calls free to landlines. so i shopped around and found vodafone to be a real winner. it is Euro 45 for all landline calls for free. it is also for 3mb line. eircom was a lot more expensive. she also gets 200 minutes to 3 vodafone numbers which was a bonus. it was the best that i could find.

    if you're in the town itself, see if you can get cable broadband with Crossan Cable, very fast, very reliable.

    have to agree about crossan, its 39.99 a month but worth every cent

    If you're in the town, get Crossans service. Otherwise Vodafone fixed line. (They have a line rental, off peak calls and 3MB BB option for €40 inc. vat.)

    Was going to get Crossan's package before. Though do you not have to get the TV package with the Broadband? given I had Sky tv I backed out of this option. I am currently with Eircom.
