Need a broadband provider, South City

    Hey, just moved into a new place and have been using the O2 stick for a while but looking to get a better setup. I don't play games, so huge speeds are not a worry for me. I just want something reliable that has no download limits to fret over, and are not Eircom.

    Thank you.


    PS: Dublin South City, off Dame Street

    I'd suggest UPC cable if you can get it. You don't have to get tv with them. They can donbroadband & phone only or just broadband.
    As it's cable Internet, you don't need a phoneline at all. It's delivered through the cable tv wiring.
    Failing that, Magnet and Smart telecom both offer their own DSL service on their own equipment, assuming that your local exchange is "unbundled".

    After that I'd actually recommend eircom itself or perhaps UTV etc The only proviso with eircom is their 3 strikes and you're disconnected rule if you download music and are caught by IMRO etc

    Only ISP that I have had really bad reports about is Vodafone At Home (DSL) - couldn't recommend them based on poor speed and terrible billing / customs support issues.

    Thanks. Are UPC reliable? I hear good things about Magnet, in that regard.

    This website is pretty good for giving you an overview of what is on offer:

    Smart do pretty good deals and their customer service is so much better since they were bought over. If you dont want to get a phoneline in and are looking for something thats not too expensive I can def reccomend the digiweb Metro broadband. Its reliable and saves you having to go get a phone line installed if one isnt already there.
