Ok parents have their pc ordered now want to get them BB
They only will use it for Internet & email no gaming or downloading

They wont be using it that much and I was going to get them to
go with Utv and Clicksilver lite and maybe get utv talk details below

Presently using Dial up. Phone is with Eircom & they are pensioners so no line rental

Anyone got any other advise for BB for Low users

Also is there a program that can monitor total time user spends on net per month?
The utv has a 20 hour limit so can this be timed over a month ?

€9.99 for the first 3 months then €14.99 for each month after, based on a 1MB/20 Hours per month Cap connection. 6GB usage also applies. This offer is available to first time subscribers who sign up before 30th June 2006.
CONNECTION SPEED 1MB Up to 20 times faster than Dial Up
CAP 20 Hours/ 6GB N/A FOR UNLIMITED OPTION
CONNECTION €29.99 Set Up Fee includes Modem and Post & Packaging
CONTENTION RATIO 48:1
€9.99 for the first 3 months then €14.99 for each month there after.
Ideal for low usage dial up customers
Faster surfing speeds great for downloading, email and webpages
 
eircom also have a 20 hour product, don't know if there is charges for going over it though- Im on their hme packages and have no problems with it
 
Perlicio have the below

20 Hours of high speed broadband internet access for only €9.99 per month Only 4c per minute if you go over 20 hours in a month Check your usage on-line Use phone & Internet simultaneously Free use of modem Up to 20 times faster than a standard dial-up connection (Up to 1Mb) Connection charge of €49.99 Easy to install Includes savings of 91% on your telephone calls
So a €60 set up charge for this but you have to switch phones to them
The cost of this is €29.99 so less the rental charge then its going to be €6 a month
and free calls to land lines

So Utv looks just as good to this

Still Utv looks better

Also checked out with Imagine and Cinergi and again Utv is still coming out tops
 
Be careful with the Eircom offering, it can work out more expensive than the basic full package if you go over your limit. What kind of product is limited broadband???
