 Nova Networks
Maybe it's just me, or maybe I'm a lucky one, but apart from one week ( when I was notified by Nova that the network was being upgraded ), I've had a very stable and reliable service.
With any BB service I would expect that most of the time I get good access to bandwidth, but am not silly enough to expect that my 2M is a clear channel to the internet with no contention. [ Get a price from BT/Eircom or even SMART for that and you'll see what I'm talking about ].
I've used BB in the UK, Germany, US and now Ireland, and the service I get from Nova is as good as any I've had before, and certainly as reliable as any. I'm connected for about a year now and could not do without the service.
Nova seem to use SMART for network access. I don't know who they use for backup, but during a major SMART outage in Cork (our office was down) my home was still connnected ( it was slower - but it worked ).
I haven't changed my mind, Nova do a great job for me. |
