Options on broadband provider other than Eircom.

Hi,

I'm currently with Eircom and have a line and always on broadband package wireless.
Q: I'd like to switch as I never use the landline and wondered if anyone has done similar recently?
In County Dublin but no cablelink to street so UPC not an option.

Thanks,

Bren.

Re: Broadband

If you want one that doesnt require a landline I use Irish Broadband and they are good. 2mb connection with 8:1 contention ratio for €36 excluding VAT a month. Free installation, but requires an aerial on the roof of the house, so if renting landlords permission required. They have been taken over by Imagine recently so they may trade under that name now.

Thanks Bad I'll give them a shout - own house so aerial no problem....

Clearwire might also be an option - wireless technology, no aerial required.

Thanks JR but they don't do my street seemingly...obviously Skerries is too far out for Clearwire?!
