i am having to down scale on things at home due to no work an all the rest.
i am currently on vodafone home internet which costs me near 50 euro a month.
so i an thinking of cutting my package tho i am not sure what would be the most basic needed to run my box off.
as in what would be a good internet speed to stick to ?
any help would be greatly appreciated
many thanks

My opinions/experience. This would all depend on how you use the internet, and what sort of setup you have. If you are running a small cardsharing setup, with a few peers, then just a bog standard broadband connection would do. even 2mbps could do a job. Stability is more important of course. You might find that if you do a lot of uploading, peer to peer filesharing etc, that you will get glitching issues, but if you just browse the net and watch TV then you might get away with it.
It is true to say that a fast connection is better, because you could do your filesharing, etc and have your box connecting to the net as well, but if you can live without uploading and ptp then a slow one will do.
is there no deals you can maybe take with bt maybe , till things get better 6 months half price etc youll get bt sports for free also if you sign up before july 1st for a year with it , just an idea
In the roi you dont get bt direct you still need in most cases you need an eircom
set of green copper wires 1st..
Irish broadband have 2/3meg system used in rural areas (eg. Ariel on roof) @30Euro pm
which works ok on c/s, another choice 3g modem but you will have breakup
and would be much good at c/s, you dont have much choice so it depends on your
pocket/service you want are you urban/rural ?
the green corroded copper wires from eircom dont help to much LOL
aye i am on vodafone through eircom network the service is pretty good so maybe have to stick with it and put the missus out to work for a bit.
i dont want to lose out on what i have at the moment
