    Having read the discussions on this topic, it seems to me that UTV probably is the better option.

    Is that the general feeling?

    If one signs up for the phone service also, how does it work?

    Do you need a box connected to the socket like EsatBT home phone service?

    Personally, I am very happy with the UTV service at the moment. Can't speak for anyone else. But you gotta give them some extra kudos, for coming onto the Ireland Offline forum to try to change the product to suit our needs. Ok, so they're out to make a profit like everyone else, still I didn't see anyone form NetSmart coming on.

    Yes. I've clocked up about 80 hours on UTV now and its worked grand. You get some of the normal issues like busy lines and ive had a connection drop on me a couple of times but after reading the UTV thread I see they are adding more capacity to the network so these problems should be no more soon enough. Download/browsing speed is great too.

    I cant really comment on Esats current service but if its the same as the nolimits service (which I can only presume it is) then it pales in comparison with UTV. Go for UTV, they seem to care a hell of a lot more about their customers than the other option.

    No, to explain it a non-tech way (the only way I know) your account gets transferred over to UTV. Havent made any voice calls on the line yet so I cant comment.. but no, you dont need to install any special equiptment at your end.
