New dsl broadband packages from ibb

[carig1]

I've just changed to ibb from digiweb with ibb new dsl packages, unlimited usage instead of digiweb's policy of bringing fowarded the excess amount used. rang up digiweb today to see if the would do the same as ibb but no way would they change. maybe when they lose all their customers they might change their policy.

I'm considering their 2mbps service. Are you in fact getting 2mbps ? or 1mbps for that matter ?

[carig1]

I getting the 3mb service

Hi carig1

Do you know if IBB are reselling the Eircon Bitstream package like Digiweb, BT and others do?

Please let us know how the new IBB dsl performs. I'm with BT and am getting a bit p***ed off with the degradation of the service over the last couple of months.

I'd love to change to an isp that gives what they promise but am reluctant to just jump for the sake of it especially if the newer isp only resells Bitstream.

how is the dsl package working out for ya?? Thinking of giving it a try. Perhap's you could answer a few questions for me?? Whats the total cost per month after VAT?? And is it truly UNLIMITED traffic?? Cheers!!

With IBB DSL for 4 months now. Working great.

Total Cost is 52 a month with VAT for their 3MPS DSL.

I get dedicated 2.5mbps downloads and truly unlimited. I have not got more than 2.5 (but I think that's the eircom line limitation) I would consider going for the 2bmps since you will get full 2mbps. I 've had no contention issues (i.e. line slowing down due to multiple users). I truly have dl +-30 - 60 GB per months - no problems.

How do I know that I get 2.5mbps - I have used newsgroups and dl tons of stuff and it never dipped below 2.5mbps even running it for 3-4 days straight.

Only catch is 6 months contract - no issue for me though.

So they really don't hound you if they think you are using too much bandwith?

[Sasco]

Anyeone here still using the IBB packaged dsl?

Good/bad?

[carig1]

have it for 7 months now. speeds at 2.4 down 280k up. no download limit and i am a very heavy user 160gb a month and no problems with the service. a lot better than the digiweb ****e and their rolling download limits.

Thanks Carig1,
I think I might give them a go, the rolling junk on digiweb is beyond annoying, plus they are having some server hop issues for me and pretend they aren't!

Is the IP static with IBB DSL ?

[carig1]

it is on the business dsl which i am on at home. the cost is the same for both home and business dsl. if you want a static ip just tell them to sign you up for business package.
