O2 offer a deal to students for €20 a month. I'm not sure what the coverage is like, but I'd say it's some bit decent.
I think 3 broadband is something similar too...

I've had O2 for the last year, it was €10 a month but the coverage wasn't great in some places I was. You can get a trial to see if it'll work in your house though. 3 has better coverage but its dearer and the gig limit is less I think!

I'm using o2, it's grand like. Initial €20 sign up cost for the modem, and then a tenner a month. Bring along your student card when you're going to get it...

It's not exactly great or anything, defo does the job though.

If you're in Dublin get the O2 it's better coverage. I am down in Kilkenny and it's not great so I am using 3 I find it brilliant down here. 20euro month sometimes 15euro

The o2 student deal is pretty good, my friend uses it and thinks it's great.

I've been using o2 for the last 2 years. I signed up for a 12 month contract and got my dongle for 19.99 and I get 15gig download a month for 20e.

The dongle is free if you sign up for 18 months and it's 20e for the 15 gig download.
