UPCUPC provides cable broadband
Digiwebdigiweb offers three separate types of broadband
MagnetMagnet provides a cable service with no contract
My choiceThe choice I would make for a business from
my home would be UPC. In the Dublin 11 area UPC has a good reputation and has the fastest download speed at 150mb per second. Although digiweb provides the cheapest option at 30.45 I would prefer the reliability of a more established provider.
