Hi Reg,

If you can look after your own security then none of this is a problem. Now, the poor customer support is of course still a problem as are the generally low bandwidth limits but security is only an issue if you listen to Eircom.

If you are not a heavy user then Eircom can be a good option. Because Eircom actually own the infrastructure you tend to have less hassle because when things go wrong there's only one party involved.

So far I have experience with DigiWeb, Eircom and ICE when it comes to broadband. I'd recommend DigiWeb over the other two. Had them for years in my last house and they gave a reliable and fast service. I'd put ICE at the very bottom of the list. I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy!

Good luck with what ever you choose,

Bart.
