    Hi BRAIN FEEDs,

    The allowance given by the DSP is €22.22 and eircom then top that up by €5.42 to give a total discount of €27.64. If you minus this from any of the packages listed on our website here it will give your monthly total. The absolute cheapest package is €40 (for first 6 months, €5 extra thereafter) so for you it would work out at €12.36 per month increasing to €17.36 after the six month promo. I hope this gives you some idea of what to expect but if you'd like someone to talk you through it and weigh up your options you can also call sales directly on freephone 1800 503 303. Mention at the start of the call that you get the rental allowance and they will check the address for availability and then recommend some packages based on that. If you have anything else you need info on we'll also be happy to help you here.

    Regards

    James
