Re: Broadband

www.freedom2surf.net

I pay £22.50 per month. It's a 512 connection. I could get faster for pretty much the same price (or it might be cheaper even) but that would involve a download/upload cap so I just stick with what I have.

The service is very good. When I first got connected I had a load of problems (due to me being a retard, there was nothing wrong with the connection itself) and they replied to all my e-mails quickly and informatively. I haven't needed to get in contact with them since cos my connection's been fine.

Re: Broadband

blueyonder 1mb for £25

service is fine, only been down a few hours over 15 months, but it is way overpriced and they'd better be doubing the speed soon*

No usage caps, but upload is a rather slow 128k

*had a leaflet from bulldog today offering 8mb for £17.99 which is why I'm annoyed

Re: Broadband

Currently using our neighbours unsecured wireless connection. I think he's on BT 2mbit.

It's free.

On Monday we should have 8mbit Bulldog (for £40 per month I think). Don't believe there are any limits on that, although we'll soon find out.

Re: Broadband

Tiscali 1Mb for £25 per month. Not had any problems. Unfortunately we don't have much choice up here - Tiscali, Wanadoo or BT are the only three providers up here, and I have heard nothing but bad reports about the other two.

NTL Broadband, 1mb for £17.99 a month. The service is generally good (they sometimes have "scheduled downtimes" at like 3am). If you ever do have a problem, however, you are buggered as their tech support lines are shite.

But apparently they will start enforcing their 3GB/month caps soon, which sucks.

On a note relating slightly to this thread when I move into my new house I'll be getting 256k. I really don't need to pay more. I'm not a gamer etc and downloads are fine at this speed. And I need the money for food.

Re: Broadband

Cable One, 3mbit for $49.95. Decent but it gets slow at peak times (companies have monopolies here so there isn't an alternative- and it's oversold). Not really worth the money, but it's either that or a slow dsl, or dial up

Re: Broadband

Hoping to get with Bulldog soon. Only thing preventing us is the fact they only offer the same BT Option 1 as the phone line where as we currently get unlimited calls anytime national & local for £23.50 and our dial-up is £16 === £40 but their alternative is another £10 - which put my dad off going for the £27.99 a month things as they're basically £10 over what we're paying for the internet.

Re: Broadband

I'd be careful before signing up to Bulldog, i did and your given access to their customer forums which is quite literally FULL of complaints regarding speeds.

Bulldog's response is "we promise speeds -up- to 8mbs" therefore when your stuck with a connection little over isdn your pretty much left with it.

I cancelled.

I haven't needed to get in contact with them since cos my connection's been fine.
I'll back that up - very good service and they dont' block ports allowing you to host anything (including email services). Static IP - useful for hosting.

Support is very good, if not the quickest all the time - when they launch a new product / offer.

Re: Broadband

POBOX Internet
uncapped 1 MB down 256k up, £25/month.
customer support is quite good, generally response within a few hours from e-mails, no major complaints. Static IP, 1 month min contract, very low downtime (server crashed from a power failure once, was down half a day while they sorted stuff out, otherwise very little / no downtime).

Re: Broadband

Was on Nilly last year, on them again this year. About £25/mo for 1meg, 50gig/mo cap during peak hours (though I'm never going to hit that). I'm happy paying the extra for their service being stable and their customer service being good. 1 month minimum contract too, unlike (I believe) Bulldog.

Re: Broadband

Bulldog is one month minimum contract too I think.

Our 8mbit connection seems pretty cool. We don't have any limits that I'm aware of, and we do get 800-900kbytes/sec sustained download rates.

Re: Broadband

NTL 2mb (free upgrade from 512k a few months ago) cant remember cost, but we get TV and phoneline from them as well, so probably more than just pure cable.
30gb/month limit but not enforced yet

Re: Broadband

Heh... here in this rainy isle 2mb is considered fast...in fact i think, it *is the fastest* you can get residentially [buy a business package and it gets faster]. I'll be paying €30 a month for it too [around £21] with 8GB download cap and 128kbps upstream. The thing is, this isn't actually bad for Ireland... lol

Re: Broadband

BTYahoo! 1Mbps (damn being too far from the exchange for 2Meg). Not sure of the price but it's got a 15GB cap and has never been down since we've had it
