Which broadband package do you have? Are you satisfied with it?

Question

I was thinking of switching to Chorus/NTL but heard some bad stories about them.

What's the cheapest and most reliable broadband service in Ireland for normal internet usage?

Answer 1

ive got sky tv with free broadband and its great

Answer 2

I've got bt internet and it's a bag of bollocks to say the least.  It always freezes.

Answer 3

I have eircom broadband business lite plus package (phone calls and broadband) - 1MB (20GB monthly download allowance) it costs €24.79 a month. It's always at full speed (only house on the road that gets it full speed all the time).

although sometimes at night time (after midnight) it stops working for about 10 minutes then works again and repeatedly does that all night, it's gets annoying when I'm trying to watch videos.

we got broadband so we could use the phone and internet at same time but in the last few months if the phone rings the broadband light goes red and stops working. Eircom have the worse customer service hotline, I've rang four times in the last year and each time it took me 2 hours to get through.

so eircom broadband have good and bad avantages, just like all broadband providers, even chorus/NTL.

I'v got eircom broadband 1mb, its........ok, its rarely at full speed but its ok for normal surfing and stuff.

Answer 11

Answer 12

I signed up with BT Ireland for phone and broadband. I am not a happy bunny.

The phone is OK, but it is really an Eircom line with a BT bill, the broadband is shite utterly. The speed is OK, but the number of times it goes down is either unbelievable or I have been very unlucky. I also keep getting 'cannot display the page' errors, but if I click 'refresh' it suddenly appears. Also, you get tied into a minimum term contract and I can't wait until the contract is up (only 4 months left to go).
