I want to get broadband at home and I am wondering what capacity to get.
Usage:
Me - email / browsing forums like AAM etc. and occasional download / viewing youtube videos etc..
MrsStevec: same but with added vpn link to office.
No music / movie / heavy downloads.
Is the 1M / 20G NTL €20 per month offering that I am looking at going to cover this or should I be looking higher?
Has anyone started with this capacity and then found it lacking because of the added temptation to use it 'because it's there'?
From what I've researched, NTL seem to have the best product with the worst customer service, wheras eircom have better service for an inferior product - is this true?
I've also concerned about NTL disconnecting users if they exceed the download cap by even the slightest bit - is this also true?
BTW, feel free to criticise my provider choice and offer suggestions.
Thanks,
Steve.
Edit: sorry, just recieved tap on shoulder from better half - we want VOIP as well so we can ditch the phone line to pay for this.
