I found Indigo to be Excellent, really good isp... except the pay per minute thing

But, I used to connect all the time, first attempt and the pings were really low for online gaming.. The pings were the same as ppl in england with adsl !!!

I use ISDN when at home and use Oceanfree for dual channel connections for larger downloads. I'm not sure but i don't think you have to subscribe to eircom anymore for a dual connection

After trying all of the isps, I came to the conclusion utv internet is the best and most reliable/fast isp for dual or single isdn. Never had any problems.

Oh and details on their site, it's free apart from local call charges

I concur. Search for the word "recommend" on my username and you'll find I have done for quite some time.

You do. It's only single channel access on the free dialup numbers.

Hmm, I use my father's business Indigo 1891 account to dial up during the day..

Has always only worked with 56k modem.. using my ISDN TA to try and get a 64k connection I always get:
The computer you're dialing in to cannot establish a Dial-Up Networking connection.
Check your password, and then try again.

Do I need to sign up for access? Not paying an extra penny to them if they charge for ISDN access...
It'd be nice to be able to get a bit more speed for my 1.9c/min though...

Just rang Indigo to finally get round to asking about it..
Apparently you need to pay something like an extra 40 quid a year to get even single ISDN... What a joke! Already pay them for the ISDN line, then subscription and now they want another charge?

The support guy agreed with me that the price was "shockin'"...
When I told him he should give out to his bosses about it, he said he already had! Even the staff know we're being screwed..

Hope Eircom get a good kick up the arse by the new regulations..

You don't pay them, you pay Eircom Ireland for the line.

I hardly pay Eircom France for it...
Indigo is part of Eircom as is Eircom.net... It's all going into Eircom's pockets either way..

Very clever. Eircom Ireland is the name the phone section of Eircom is generally referred to as.

The ISPs are seperate to the phone section, the money you pay for the ISDN line will not be seen by Eircom net/Indigo.
They make their money from subscription charges etc.

IOL Gold is good and cheap for 1891 access. (64k only) ~€12 p/m
Eircom is poor and expensive ~€30 (128k) p/m
Esat Business and VIA net are cheaper than eircom/indigo. Give them a call is you need 1891 128k otherwise iol gold is best.

This assumes you need 1891 access (cheaper daytime access)

Consider ADSL, if your thinking of 1891 128k.

Thats why it's such an excellent service !!! no-one is on it Its my company's account, 128k iswell. But seriously, it is the best around for online gaming, my isdn pings were so excellent with it, now I'm on Utv :eek: which is a bit of a shocker when your use to sub 50 pings to barrysworld

Unfortunatly, the @indgio.ie email address for the business has used on letter heads etc. for ages.
Going to try to persuade a change to a cheaper ISP with ISDN none the less and get those letterheads changed!
