Re: Best Internet Service Providers for home use.
I went for that deal about a year ago - and it was the worst thing I ever did.
Connection speed was ridiculously slow - when I switched to iol, downloads took only a third of the time
I have found the NTL phone service to be extremely unreliable. Unfortunately, you have to take this to get the internet access.
All in all, it is not a good deal, as the free access is countered by the poor service, crackling phone line and slow downloads.
I find IOL free to be the best of a bad bunch really. If you will be using the internet a lot during the day, Eircom net's paid service gives you access via a 1891 phone number for cheaper than local-call charges.
Have fun!
