Just got this email:
  • Pity they can't upgrade their billing services...
 
Smart is already 2MB, with no monthly limits.

I believe ntl are upgrading their packages as well. Magnet looks good too.

Anyone in the market for broadband needs to shop around, the offers are changing continuously. The only thing they all seem to have in common is a 12 mth contract! (except for Irish broadband I think), and of course average to poor customer service.
 
True. I'm only still with BT because their Talk Plus deal (unlimited calls to Irish landlines for €15/month) suits our usage patterns. Maybe I'll look again in a few months and try to convert my 'chattering classes' to VoIP...
 
Isn't the BT contract 6 months, at least thats what I was told when I signed up, then again I was told a lot when I signed up !
 
your no dipsy, chick. 6 months and I have them on a yellow card unless they get their act together I am going to another supplier as you could not be bothered arguing the toss with them all the time.
 
Netsource and a lot of the other ISPs are upgrading their users over the next few days. My home dsl line has already been upgraded
 
Re: Applies to eircom too

That applies to Eircom customers too. They have increased the speeds at which DSL modems are allowed synch up with the DSL access multiplexers in the local exchange. Any Internet service provider using eircom's DSL access network to get connectivity to their own gateways to the Internet also gets the speed increase.

See mine's gone from 1024/128 to 2048/256.
 
Wow - it works!

Download speed of 2.55 Mbps, Upload speed 310kbps. That's a hell of an improvement in upload anyway, had been having trouble uploading large files via email etc. I reckon it's actually THREE times faster than last week.

BT by the way...
