[ILUG] Re: Best non-DSL broadband service in Dublin?

[Paschal Nee]

I'm using DigiWeb Metro and have had no problems with it.  I'm not at home
every day though so it's not getting continuous use.  And when I am home
it's email, web, ssh - no games or large downloads  That said when I had an
open wifi router (ah the philanthropy of it) my neighbours had no trouble
downloading my 30gb cap worth of god knows what Internet depravity.  Just
looking at it now, the base package seems to have lowered the cap to 10gb of
Internet depravity.

Best of all the price - €20 a month for the 1mb package.  You get a phone
number with that although the quality of the phone service is not great -
sometimes will not connect on first dial.  Still for the amount of time I
use the land line that is fine.

You need line of sight to a mast from your roof - there's one in Finglas,
Three Rock, and somewhere else I think.

The Vodafone 3G data product might also be an option for you - not cheap
though.

Subject: [ILUG] Best non-DSL broadband service in Dublin?
I switched my domestic internet connection from Eircom ADSL to Irish
Broadband Ripwave about 6 months ago because taking into account the
cost of the phone line which I don't need, the IBB option is far
cheaper, and an NTL connection was not available.

My bill has dropped from about €15 a week to a fiver now, but
unfortunately the quality of service is not reliable at all. When it's
connected the speed is fine, but almost every day (at unpredictable
times but always when I need it) the connection drops and I'm left to
twiddle my thumbs for two hours or more waiting for it to come back.

So, I want to change again. Can anybody recommend a better service in
Dublin at a reasonable price?

Thanks.

Tony.
