    Having been with Eircom, BT, Vodafone and now UPC I have to say UPC has given me the best service by a mile. Eircom was so-so, BT left the market as soon as I joined and Vodafone was a disaster.

    Maybe Eircom? They seem to have new deals at the mo. I don't anything about the wireless broadband market.

    My advice would be to stick with UPC if you can. There's no other BB provider that can come near UPC. You are getting your BB via cable, whereas the only other terrestial method is via copper wire, all of which is owned by Eircom. They are not going to be improving their network any time soon, as they are €3.4bn in debt., and are very near the precipice.The capacity of the UPC cable is way higher than Eircom's copper. All the other providers are depending on Eircom allowing them access to their network. None of them, bar possibly Vodafone, have the capacity to roll out their own network
