    As above I'm looking for a decent Broadband provider that doesn't require a phoneline.

    Currently with Digiweb and from talking to them they don't seem to do it, also it would have to work in the Limerick area.

    Thanks in advance

    I'd rather stick with a fairly known company, the household depends on the internet alot.

    upc serves most of casteltroy if, like me, you are in one of the few areas they dont serve then i think you are out of luck as far as not needing a phone line

    one piece of advice is dont go with magnet whatever you do

    there are some totally wireless options but they are very expensive

    Yeah wireless wouldn't be an option, there's 3 or 4 computers and an xbox! Friends of mine literally withing a 2 minute walk have it, and we seem to be just out of the zone. We don't use the house phone and it seems to be racking up bills of 90 odd euro every 2 months!

    with eircom and magnet you get unlimited free calls with their internet package you jsut pay line rental and the fee for the broadband so as long as no1 is using your line for international calls then that should solve that

    If you don't use the phone, then there should be no bill, so obviously someone is using it, and a lot if it's costing €45 a month. If that is the cost of the broadband on the phone, then that's about the right price.

    No reason why proper Wireless broadband wouldn't be an option for that. 3G, Imagine WiMax, Ripwave, Clearwire etc are not broadband, but don't confuse something like Metro with those.

    If getting an aerial on the roof is an option then IBB/Imagine or Digiweb Metro are your best bets.
    If not then upc or individual 3g dongles seem to be your only options.
