Cheapest (minimum 3MB) Fixed Line Broadband

Rackstar

Hey,

Looking to get fixed line broadband line in Monasterevin (Minimum 3MB. I already have a phone line but it's currently not in use.

Will I have to pay a reconnection fee for the phone line?

Who is offering the cheapest package including line rental and what providers should be avoided?

Is there somewhere all the packages can be compared? Have been looking at Eircom, Vodafone, Imagine, Smart etc

Thanks

You may need to avoid vodafone their customer care are clueless when something goes wrong other than that they are ok and probably one of the cheapest proivders out there digiweb and smart are also very good providers as they are the same company id go with them before going near vodafone

Pick Eircom, if you can. Picking somebody like vodafone, you end up dealing with 3 entities Voda who use BT and who use Eircom for the Local loop. If you have technical problems and they all point fingers at each other. With Eircom, the only can point the finger at themselves...
Check out the Vodafone at Home forum on forum.vodafone.ie.

I see this quite often, but from what I have seen, for an ADSL connection, say 3Mb/s, there appears to be little difference in prices ..... measured in cents.

Am I missing out on something or is the difference only apparent when the exchanges and line are capable of much better connections?

Puzzled .....

Thanks for all the replys! Going by what people are saying I'll probably go with Eircom.

Anyone know how much the reconnection fee for the line would be?

Just remember you may not necessarily get the full "up to" speed, most only seem to get around 3/4M.
Also, more importantly, they charge handsomely for going over their paltry upload/download caps.
