    hey,

    i am planning on ordering a normal broadband that should work pretty much
    consistently on 7mbit download or even 5mbit for around 30-40 euro.
    I live in roscommon and was wondering if there are any for this price ?

    thanks!

    I called up and they said that it is not available in my area yet, but will be somewhere between 6 and 12 months time..

    any-thing else?

    Hey guys, i found this offer in eircom: http://www.eircom.net/broadband/products/bbpackages/3/?view=Standard

    I was wondering if this is what they charge from you in total or is there additional charges for line rental with eircom?

    also what about the 3mbit line?

    Edit you just pick your area not your address.

    Shalom matthewpov :)

    Ireland has the highest line rental in the world.

    Digiweb Metro doesn't use phone wires, so no line rental.
    UPC is coax (cable) so low "line rental" as there are no phone wires.

    All DSL relies on eircom phone wires. Bezeq are angels in comparison. eircom might do "free" line rental as introduction to hook you as a customer. But full amount later.

    Is this really it? ^^ I think ireland is a generation or two behind, the biggest internet robbery in the world is done by eircom =( who could of ever thought!
    Shalom to you too btw! =)

    According to bezeq you pay 40 euro for 30 mbit download and 1 upload, beat that eircom!

    Sadly bezeq is only an israely internet service!
