Who's your broadband supplier??

[Fowler's God]

I was just wondering what broadband provider are ya's with lads??

with IrishBroadband meself after the fiasco i had with crappy NTL even though there cheap

[Dub13]

I was with BT for a couple of years but it just went crap down all the time so I switched back to Eircom.

Always on connection but lots of signal dropping is the prob broadband will always face i think espeically wireless connections

[Block102]

With BT myself - loads of loss of signal since I switched to wireless last year :mad:

[liverbird!!]

Company with eircom.

But at home i have BT, works ok. Drops every now and again but grand for the money, have talktime included all for €90.00 for 2 months.

[Malzheimer]

I'm with Digiweb myself, not a bad service at all but then again I would say that as am currently working for them :o

[Alex Raisbeck]

Im with NTL, customer service is pathetic if you have a problem, but I have to say the broadband is excellent.

[stevieg]

With Eircom Broadband 3mb, aul fellas work pay for it.

Nice and Fast no complaints

[Westlake]

Ice Broadband, it's all we can get here. It's good enough, though sometimes it just won't load pages quickly, especially films on TV Links... Still though, it's a God send after having dial up for two years!

[callyno3]

Eircom Broadband , works fine

[stamullenredmen]

im with net one its generally ok but been very slow the last few days

[annmcnally99]

I'm with 3, excellent reception, hard to understand customer service agents when you ring with a problem. Could not fault broadband

[Carroll9]

I have always been with UPC.Never had a problem with them in fairness.

Yeah with UPC as well, their Broadband is easily the best, nobody comes close. Customer service is pathetic.

[GaryMc]

I am with Imagine. Bit of a problem at the start but no issues in last six months.

[Ron1892]

The missus is with UPC at the moment, but when i move into a appartment in the next month it will be UPC all the way as their internet seems to be top draw.Watched the city game last night on it and it was fantastic.

[Con]

Eircom for years, never had a problem

Can't get better Ron, and with the Fibrepower it will be better again.

[MR KING KENNY]

when it comes to broadband UPC wins hands down, never had a problem with them. eircom bt all them offer you 6 or 7meg and you never get that, the most people can seem to get is 3 meg, with UPC you pay for 25meg and you get 25 meg.

[KEITHO M]

Have UPC myself and it's good. At the start it was a nightmare and we had to get technicians out and all but it's sorted now and its grand.

[Ron1892]

Im so used to the little 10 gig a month o2 dongle, im so looking forward to proper Broadband.

[leonsdaddy]

What are those dongles like for streaming matches?

[Ron1892]

What are those dongles like for streaming matches?

Absolute rubbish mate.First off you only have 10 gigs a month and a decent stream would use about 500 mb a month.Also they are no where near as fast as the proper broadband.Its all i can get in the wilderness out here though.

[leonsdaddy]

I used to have the broadband in a box from irish broadband. That was woeful but we are now with eircom which is quite expensive. If we had the choice we would go with upc but our estate isnt able to get upc.

[Ron1892]

Well stay away from those Dongles.Not worth the money or hassle.Im paying 20 euro a month for 10 gigs and a still of less than 1mb.

[Garrett]

Hi,

I've Eircom, live over DNS - Dub3, but feel the speed is pretty slow (can be a bit faster late at night), just checked it there on the website linked below and posted the readings:

How does that compare with some of your upload and download speeds, out of interest everyone ?

Thanks

That's all Ron gets out of his little dongle

[Carroll9]

I feel your pain mate ....

Mind you, I can't complain too much as I don't pay for the service at the moment, someone else has kindly been picking up the tab for me, but how we can't all expect a similar level of service is beyond me....

I actually posted a question or two about that, on another thread here late last night, wondering what kind of download speeds would be needed for reliable streaming from LiveOnlineFooty etc.

A few other questions re: PS3 etc also there, following earlier tips from some of you guys a while back, so if anyone can help me out I'd appreciate it:

[Carroll9]

Sorry Garrett.I wouldn't be able to help you out on that one as I'm not up to speed.I would be very interested to find what ideas people have all the same.I long for the day that I can ring Sky to cancel my subscription and watching ratboy last night just made me more determined.
