Best broadband to change to?

    hi there
    Im currently with eircom for broadband, my package consists of next generation broadband regular (download speed of up to 8 Mb and a combined upload and download allowance of 30 GB). This is bundled with eircom talk time anytime which includes free landline calls. I am paying 100 euro every 2 months for this package.

    I want to get the landline out as i have a good package on my mobile phone with meteor and i dont really need the house phone anymore. I also have the internet on my phone which i just use to check facebook, emails etc when im not at home.

    I have one PC and one laptop in the house so sometimes the 2 are in use at the same time.

    Can anyone suggest a good broadband to go for without the landline, what is your opinion on the internet usb sticks? I heard they were very slow and you have a small usage limit. I dont really download movies etc but i am on the laptop alot for facebook/youtube/email/chat etc

    Any opinions would be a great help, my main reson for removing the landline is to save money

    also speed is a top priority on the list, slow internet is not an option

    If you can get UPC there good you can just get broadband if you don't want phone.Then there digweb metro which is fixed wireless dont bother with mobile broadband slow and unreliable.

    Not broadband, OK for light occasional browsing and emailing on the go, should never be used as fixed broadband replacement. Youtube will be hit and miss.

    Magnet/UPC/Smart/Vodaphone in that order would be my recommendation.
