Broadband

Broadband technology has revolutionised access to the internet with fast high speed broadband access available widely across Ireland. The term broadband itself refers home broadband and more recently mobile broadband. Home broadband is provided through either a traditional copper cable wire (known as ADSL broadband) or in some areas fibre optic cables. Mobile broadband can be used with laptops for internet access when you are away from the home.

Compare Broadband Packages

When comparing broadband packages there are a couple of key things to consider and check. Most people choose their broadband provider as a result of the price and the speed offered by the broadband package. Most providers provide a range of price options for their various packages and the speed of the broadband connection will vary. You can test your broadband speed using our broadband speed test tool. Another key factor to consider is the download limit for the broadband package. Most of the providers offer a range of download limits across their broadband packages.

Mobile Broadband

In the last couple of years mobile broadband has brought flexibility to internet users by enabling them to access the internet whilst on the move. Vodafone were the first to introduce mobile broadband technology and continue to lead the way in developing mobile broadband internet dongles. This relatively new technology enables consumers and business users the freedom of mobility and convenience. Mobile broadband packages are available in the form of both monthly contract and pay as you go options.

Compare Mobile Broadband Packages

As well as comparing fixed line and wireless home and business broadband we also produce reviews and comparison tables for the mobile broadband packages from the leading providers of this technology in Ireland. As with regular broadband one of the key aspects to consider when choosing mobile broadband is the connection speed you will receive. Currently Vodafone and O2 are leading the way in the Irish market. However, you also need to consider the coverage that the provider of the mobile broadband offers. There is not full coverage across some of the rural areas in Ireland.
