BT Ireland Broadband & Total Talk

[tosullivan]

I was just looking at this website and they have a full inclusive package for €45 which includes 1MB broadband, line rental & calls. I'm currently with UTV which costs me €24.18 line rental + €30 2MB BB connection. My calls with UTV are only free after 6pm, where BT seem to offer free calls anytime.

Would I notice the difference in speed dropping from 2MB to 1MB if I was to switch to BT? I can drop down with UTV to 1MB connection speed and save the €10/month that way, but now my wife is at home all day so I can see the phone charges adding up with UTV.

BT BB and 2Mbit is €55 which is what you pay now, and your Mrs may call anytime she wishes (up to 59 minutes long)

BT do not charge if you bust the cap either, unlike UTV

Ya, I saw that option also, but is there really much of a noticeable difference between 2MB & 1MB? I've always been on 2MB so I don't know if 1MB is too slow, but I can't imagine so...so if I can save a tenner/month, then all the better

Bt Telephone/broadband/line Rental

This looks a right good offering at €45 euro per month all in.

Reasonable call rates to UK and Australia among the perks.

Have been with euphony €10 per month but BT gives me access to broadband for approx €8.50 per month.

Smart Telecom do local and national calls, 3MB broadband and contention ratio 1:1 for 45/month including line rental. Without the calls, it's 35/month

UK calls are inluded in this package for €45 any time day or night & weekends.

I thought I checked Smart and it wasn't that price...must have a look again. Do you have a link to that offer cos I only see the talk package at €35/month and the BB is another €35/month for 3MB connection

I'm thinking that if going for a slower connection at 1MB would I feel the difference that much and therefore save a tenner/month

What do you use your internet connection for? If you're an average user, you probably won't notice the difference. If you play internet games or do a lot of downloading, you would notice the difference.

35 euros includes line rental and broadband (and VAT). No cheap calls to the UK, though. Was going to go for the free local and national calls package for 10 extra a month but decided not to as we mostly end up calling mobiles form the landline.

I'm an avg user and use it also for downloading emails & synchronising a database from work every few days which isn't a huge amount that I can leave for a few mins and come back to..
