I live in an area of Cork where no other ISP could/would get me a connection. Finally contacted Nova Networks back in Spetember and am a happy surfer since then.
Lots of promises from
IBB about the connection which would go live in two weeks, just two more weeks, about two more weeks, ( this went on for months ).
Nova Networks give you what you pay for. Good value connectivity, nd the only outages I've had were notified to me in advance ( for upgrades etc ).
Now am using IP phone etc without problems. Can only recommend these guys.
