Briefly, we moved into a new apartment on Kilmainham Lane last year. When moving in we had the usual levels of advertising junk mail from NTL offering tv, broadband and whatnot! We decided not to get a landline as we both are on our mobiles anyways, and to be honest the thoughts of giving somebody like eircom any business galled us.
But, we contacted NTL about TV and Broadband to be told that Broadband was not currently available on our street, but that would change in a matter of months. We signed up for TV and were told that we would receive a letter informing us when Broadband was ready. The install guy arrived for the TV and told us that in two months we'd have broadband as they were laying the cables in the area. Yesterday, I phoned NTL for an update and was told that they would check. Today, I received a call to say that there were no plans to provide broadband on Kilmainham Lane. Needless to say I was shocked as we have been waiting and waiting to go with their "limitless download" option. We use Ripwave, but have discovered that it only works when our windows are open and its is sitting on the ledge (aparently something about the signal getting trapped between the panes in our argon windows). So, now... we have been obviously let down by NTL's lack of provision, and to be honest Ripwave will drive us nutz with this ridiculous situation... therefore, does anyone know of any viable option that will provide us with:
1 Limitless Downloads
2 Good connectivity
3 Connection without signing up for a phoneline as well
thanks for any help
