    Both use the same lines so in terms of Geography, the best response is "Both Vodafone and Eircom"

    The best deal is down to what you find yourself.

    Both Eircom & Vodafone are also working on their own separate Fibre To The Building/House network, and according to what was published over the last few months, Eircom would have that done for Dundalk (and Drogheda) by August this year (I don't know if that is going to be the case or not.. but that's what they have on their website). Vodafone (SIRO) also have Dundalk (but not Drogheda, booo) in their list first 10 towns where they are doing their FTTH, but I don't know when they expect to have that ready.

    If I were you, and if it's possible, I would prefer to wait another three months to see who offers fibre to the house first (700-800 mbps!!) and not lock yourself into a long contract with the wrong provider.

    It's €55 per month, but you can get a 30-day rolling contract with Magnet Broadband and it uses VDSL on phone lines, like eircom/Vodafone above.
