    Hi lads and lassies
    Hoping to get bb asap and am trying to choose the best package. Its between esatbt and eircom. Esat seem to offer better value and their rates are cheaper than eircom. However i want to have wireless access available all over my house for laptop use and my friend has eircom and he said that they provide a wireless router free wheras it seems esat bt dont. So should i go with eircom based on this?also with bb if my dad is on the desktop surfing can i be online upstairs on my laptop at the same time?
    Sorry if i sound stupid but really want to get the best package and dont have much knowledge in this area
    Thanks a lot
    will

    eircom might give you a 'free' wifi modem, but they are overcharging you for the BB, so you won't save anything by using them.

    If you shop online you can get a wifi router for under €50 which will save you money within a few months. not to mention the increased caps you'll get with BT.

    why not try ringing BT anyway, and asking them? can't hurt, you never know maybe they'll throw you a wifi modem too to keep your business if they think you'll go somewhere else.
