That's only if it's availible in your area. I hear all this advertisment's on the radio, and it pisses me off that we can't get it. Up until 6 months ago we had 14 kps, slower than snail mail. We asked for another line for a fax, knowing there asw none availible, and eircom was legally obliged to supply a box on the wall, ran the internet connection on that at 48 kps.

Longford town, TBH i think Longford is actually very lucky to have it and its been here a couple of years. Funny thing is just 5 miles from me people have the 14kps option

Im paying 30 euro a month

Wireless to the house, and with a wireless router then it'll be wireless throughout the house. I can supply both. ;-)

Unfortunatley we dont have coverage in Cork yet, someone snapped up our frequency licence down there and we're in the process of trying to buy it back. Sorry!!!

But it would be €35 per month for the 1mg, €40 per month for the 2mb. no connection fee either.

IOl is covered there, and for 30 euro you get 2mb.

 

2 miles north of killucan village, 12 miles east of mullingar, please.

It must be Irish Broadband, they do a similar service to us but half the upload/download speed. Sorry!

Have you tried Nova Networks?

QUOTE (Micky 32 @ Jan 24 2006, 12:57 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Ive just noticed that iol broadband has gone to 2mb , i was thinking it was faster alright

If you want broadband plus for an extra 10 euro a month its 3mb.

Yup, Eircom wholesale did a major speed upgrade on the DSL backbone over the weekend. So whether, you're Nethop, IOL, Esat, Netsource or Eircom.net then you've automatically been upgraded.

Even upload speeds have been increased. The maximum DSL speeds are now 5MB download / 512k upload

If the dial up is bad its unlikely the line is good enough for broadband.

more expensive than btireland. i'm paying €40 per month for a phone line and broadband. will find it hard to beat that.

Thats a damn good price. Everyone seems to be uping speed at the moment and keeping price the same. Better value for money to be honest.

 

Handy site

Web site speed test

 

Try this website www.getbroadband.ie it has what coverage you get and what options you have nationwide, it looks very good.

Does anybody know anything about the 2mb service from Digiweb, Imagine, BT and Eircom.

I was looking at Digiweb 2mb for €30 with free connection or 2mb with BT €15 for the first 4 months and €30 from then on, but it is €50 connection fee.

Is 2mb enough for just use at home??

 

2mb should be enough, depending on what u use it for, gaming, P2P, voip etc. check latency on the line and contention ratio, no point having a 2mb line with high latency, when u're playing games it'll be sooo slow, and delayed.
