HiKathleen,
I use BT broadband and find it very good. I have a cabled router. I
think
a wireless router connection will give you more options but remember that
you will need a wireless capability on your PC if you only get a wireless
router.

Hi There,
I agree. Go for BT Ireland's broadband/line rental package.
When I got it, wireless was not an option. Now that it is, well... it
just
makes it all the better.
Do ask them about security when you are installing your broadband
hardware/software though... People connecting, or trying to connect to
your
router is not uncommon. I'm sure BT Ireland switch security features on
as
standard on their newly installed wireless routers though. No harm in
confirming.
Cheers,
Tony

Hi, NTL is far too dear from the pricing I have heard. Stick with BT and
you can get your calls plus line rental and braudband for as little as
45?.
This is cheeper than eircom so it is.
Cheers, Nicky.

Hi kathleen
When i was still living with my parents i used to use their Wireless
connection from NTL. We had a router in the house because my brother's PC
was the defailt one using it & then my PC was second in line. If you go
for
NTL broadband you would get a good deal with them & pay its rental as
well
as your TV bill. It is very good & sometimes it might be a bit slow
downloading information but it depends on the browser of course.
All the best for the weekend.
Kind regards
